Again, what is a portfolio?

"The professional portfolio: think of it as a collection in progress, a place where you store those things related to your training, work experience, contributions, and special accomplishments. It is the place to document all your work-related talents and accomplishments so that you have a good sense of your 'assets.'

As you gain a clear understanding of your lifework story, you'll increase your ability to see your potential and communicate it to others. This newly gained insight can assist you in assessing where you are on your career track."

from Portfolio Power by Martin Kimeldorf

An effective portfolio is a visual representation of your experience, strengths, abilities, skills - the things you like to do, and do best.

Just as there are different kinds of scrapbooks, there are wide variations in professional portfolios and in where and how they can be used. Here's a starter list of artifacts to consider. Begin your collection with whatever is relevant to you.
