Career Portfolio: The New Professional Development Tool

Monday, June 5, 1:00 – 2:00 PM

A career portfolio is a visual representation of your abilities, skills, capabilities, knowledge and professional qualities. It can represent your potential. Physically, it's a collection of items and documents - tangible materials - that represent work-related events from your professional life, as well as your community involvement. Seminar attendees will gain insight regarding how to organize and prepare a portfolio of accomplishments to support their career success in job-hunting, employee evaluations and promotions. 

Let’s Get Hired!

Monday, June 5, 2:15 – 3:15 PM

Advice for getting your resume into the hands of the hiring manager, as well as interview etiquette, will be provided to attendees of this interactive seminar. We will discuss the appropriate information to include on your resume, as well as editing and formatting recommendations to highlight key points for hiring and human resources managers. The presentation will also include tips and do’s and don’ts that participants can use to beef up their resumes.
