How to Balance Your Employee Portfolio
In the current business oriented world, a well developed portfolio is evidence of your credentials, skills and experience for potential employers. As they say, actions speak louder than words, and your portfolio will provide proof of your willingness, professionalism and accomplishment. With communication between prospective employees and employers being reducing to a bare minimum, a well-written/compiled work portfolio will go a long way in showcasing your worth. The balancing act will require you to include the following points in your portfolio.

We often tend to consider a resume a form of employee portfolio. However, that is not the case. Your portfolio provides an extensive insight on all your achievements, certifications, and skills. A resume may be the first part of the portfolio, which provides a snap shot of your attributes and is the initial step towards building a relationship with your prospective employers. Your resume must provide brief, yet meaningful information and may be considered as a summary of the overall portfolio.

Finally talk about your long term goals and where do you see yourself in the next five to seven years. This is an important part of your resume as prospective employers are bound to ask such questions. By having these already answered you can convey your willingness to work and how will the company benefit from you.
