Re: Career Portfolio
How safe is it to have resume and other such information online? If I do decide to upload it, should I change the format of my resume or should I leave it the same as the one that I use to apply for jobs?
I already have a resume done, so adding that to the career portfolio shouldn’t be a problem, insha’Allah.
I don’t think I have any professional qualifications or credentials yet, other than the high school diploma.
I did receive a few awards, which I’ll add to the portfolio, insha’Allah.
As for the testimonials from employers, clients and peers, I have a recommendation letter from one of my employers. I also have a recommendation letter from one of the places that I volunteered at, but I don’t have one from my previous co-op job and due to the complications that I had, I doubt that I’d be receiving one. However, I can contact and try asking.
I don’t believe I have any writing samples other than the assignments that I’ve done over the years. I’ve recieved some good grades, however, there is still a lot of red pen on it, so I’ve always stayed away from using those. If the red pen and comments aren’t something that could be considered harmful, then I can always add those to the portfolio.
