    Why Should You Maintain a Career Portfolio?

    By Angela Betts, The Resumeritr

    Have you ever tried to contact a past employer only to discover they are no longer in existence or your former manager has moved on and been replaced by someone else? Of course, if you are an avid networker this shouldn’t be much of a problem when it comes time to provide proof of your experience, education and accomplishments. A portfolio of your career is very beneficial, too.

    It should be developed and maintained using all documentation of your career history in order to overcome any problems that could arise in proving any aspects of your career. It should also include your most up-to-date resume which will be based on the contents of your portfolio. Include documents pertaining to your education, including continuing education, such as diplomas and certifications.

    Have any of your past managers sent memos or emails to you or your colleagues mentioning any of your accomplishments? Were your accomplishments published in the company newsletter, local newspaper or a trade magazine? Annual reviews, award certificates, and documents or articles recognizing your contributions to projects and business growth are proof of your accomplishments. Clip the articles, print the emails, save the memos, and add them to your portfolio.

    Document volunteer experience you have gained. Although you didn’t receive compensation from volunteer experience, you gained some kind of experience and maybe even recognition for your efforts. Were you able to help an organization overcome a major hurdle that hampered their mission? Did you provide assistance to the members of an organization? Were you instrumental in developing new marketing methods to spread news about the mission?

    Anything that can document your career history could prove to be valuable in your career advancement or job search. In the event you are unable to make contact with a former manager or provide up-to-date contact information to a potential employer, your career portfolio can serve as a means of proving your value to the potential employer.

    Don’t take your career lightly. Document your career and maintain your portfolio. Your children and children’s children will also thank you in years to come because they will have proof of your accomplishments and the mark you made in history, too.
