How to create a career portfolio1) ？
In a recent Gallup survey，５３percent of Americans with full-time jobs said they knew someone who had lost a job in the past year．Of that same group，more than a third feared becoming unemployed themselves．Faced with a tight job market，many job seekers are improving their competitive edge by creating personal career portfolios．More than a résumé，a career portfolio gives employers an in-depth look at your goals，accomplishments，and experiences．The following four steps will help you get started building your own topnotch2) portfolio．
１．Identify your goals An effective portfolio should have a single，unifying theme：your professional goals．Your first task，then，is to do a little self－assessment．Then you'll find it easier to develop a cohesive3) and targeted portfolio．If you're still wondering what you'd like to be when you grow up，take a few easy self－assessment courses．You can find such training courses on the Internet as well，such as All About You
（http：training．msn．com ）．
２．Organize your paperwork With your goals as the theme，each document you include in your portfolio should provide evidence supporting that theme．While you may include certificates，diplomas，awards，reference letters，samples of completed projects，and information on community service and professional memberships，be sure you are showcasing only those documents that align4) well with your stated professional goals．
３．Put it all together Once you've assembled your portfolio，make two versions：an original that you can show during interviews，and a reproduction to leave behind for your interviewers' in－depth review．Both copies should be impeccable5)．If original certificates and awards are worn，have them professionally reproduced．If you are including lengthier6) items such as completed projects，publications，or proposals，make sure they are free of grammatical gaffes7)，spelling errors，and formatting incosistencies．
４．Consider going digital Creating a printed copy of your career portfolio is essential，but don't overlook the marketing power of digital media．Although a digital portfolio isn't necessary for every job search，it may make it easier to reproduce your portfolio，to send it to distant locations，and to update it frequently．You can burn your digital portfolio onto a CD－ROM，save it on a Zip disk to send through e-mail，or design it as a password－protected Web site．Another option is to use the MSN Careers résué posting service to post your portfolio，making it accessible to a large number of potential employers．If you've never created a Web page before，you may go to take a HTML design course in an Internet training school．
如何創(chuàng)建個(gè)人職業(yè)卷宗
在最近一次蓋洛普調(diào)查中，５３％擁有全職工作的美國(guó)人稱，在過(guò)去的一年中，他們認(rèn)識(shí)的人中有人失業(yè)。在這５３％的人中，有超過(guò)１／３的人擔(dān)心自己會(huì)失業(yè)。面對(duì)緊張的就業(yè)市場(chǎng)，許多求職者都通過(guò)創(chuàng)建個(gè)人職業(yè)卷宗來(lái)提高他們的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)能力。一份職業(yè)卷宗不只是簡(jiǎn)歷，而是以此讓雇主深入了解你的目標(biāo)、成就和經(jīng)歷。下列４個(gè)步驟有助于你開(kāi)始創(chuàng)建自己高質(zhì)量的個(gè)人職業(yè)卷宗。
１．確定目標(biāo) 一個(gè)給人印象深刻的職業(yè)卷宗應(yīng)該具有單一的、統(tǒng)領(lǐng)全局的主題，即你的職業(yè)目標(biāo)。因此，你的首要工作就是做一些自我評(píng)估。然后你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)創(chuàng)建一個(gè)內(nèi)容連貫而且目標(biāo)明確的職業(yè)卷宗會(huì)變得容易多了。如果你仍在為長(zhǎng)大后將做什么工作而猶豫不決的話，不妨選修一些簡(jiǎn)單的自我評(píng)估課程。你也可以在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上找到類(lèi)似的培訓(xùn)課程，如“關(guān)于你”（http：training．msn．com ／）。
２．收集材料 你的職業(yè)卷宗中每一個(gè)文件都要以你的目標(biāo)為主題，它們必須提供支持該主題的證據(jù)。你可以把證書(shū)、文憑、獎(jiǎng)狀、推薦信、已完成項(xiàng)目的樣本、社區(qū)服務(wù)以及專(zhuān)業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)員身份等材料都收集在內(nèi)，但要注意，你要選用的只是那些與你所闡明的專(zhuān)業(yè)目標(biāo)有關(guān)的文件。
３．合成 一旦你已把所有資料匯集成職業(yè)卷宗，應(yīng)將其制成一式兩份：原件供你在面試時(shí)出示；復(fù)印件留給面試官供深入考查。兩份都應(yīng)是無(wú)懈可擊的。如果原始證書(shū)和獎(jiǎng)狀已破損，應(yīng)由專(zhuān)業(yè)人員制成高質(zhì)量的復(fù)制品。如果其中包括較長(zhǎng)的文件，如已完成項(xiàng)目、出版物或建議書(shū)，則要確保它們沒(méi)有語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤、拼寫(xiě)錯(cuò)誤以及格式前后不一致等文書(shū)錯(cuò)誤。
４．考慮數(shù)碼化 把你的職業(yè)卷宗制成打印件是必須的，但是不要輕視數(shù)碼化媒體在當(dāng)今就業(yè)市場(chǎng)上的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。雖然數(shù)碼化卷宗對(duì)每一次求職并非必需，但是它會(huì)使你的卷宗復(fù)制工作變得容易，也會(huì)使你能更便捷地將卷宗進(jìn)行遠(yuǎn)距離傳遞而且能經(jīng)常更新內(nèi)容。你可以將數(shù)碼化職業(yè)卷宗制成光盤(pán)，或以壓縮文件存儲(chǔ)于軟盤(pán)中并能通過(guò)電子信函發(fā)送，或者將它設(shè)計(jì)成密碼保護(hù)的網(wǎng)址。另一種方法是使用“微軟網(wǎng)職業(yè)履歷”在線傳輸服務(wù)，通過(guò)因特網(wǎng)發(fā)出你的卷宗，使盡可能多的潛在雇主能夠看到你的卷宗。如果你從沒(méi)有設(shè)計(jì)過(guò)主頁(yè)的話，你可以去一家互聯(lián)網(wǎng)培訓(xùn)學(xué)校選修一門(mén)超級(jí)文本標(biāo)注語(yǔ)言（HTML ）的課程。
