You need a career portfolio now

As you progress through your career you probably have never thought about putting together such a thing as a career portfolio. You probably thing that you’re safely employed and don’t need one. If you’re lucky enough to have a secure job (at the moment) it doesn’t mean that putting together a portfolio would be a waste of time. Portfolios can make the difference in whether you get promotion within your company too. There have been many occasions where I have come across great candidates for more senior positions and they failed because they could not convince their employer of their value.

Let’s face it, many employers take their staff for granted and make wrong assumptions about them. They do not see any other facet of their staff (i.e. outside the working environment) and base the assumptions only on what they see. There fore, putting together and maintaining a career portfolio to include qualifications and transferable skills that your employer doesn’t necessarily know of will make a great impact in the promotional interview. So don’t wait until you need a portfolio, get one started today. To find out how to put one together, get hold of your copy of the book now .
