Did you know that there is a Portfolio tool within the classroom? A portfolio or e-portfolio is different from looking at a resume. How do you think having employers view your e-portfolio over reviewing your resume helps you?
I only need a 100 word response for the two posts below. It should be interactive, feel free to ask questions in the response.
“Class,
Before this class started, I was not aware that there was a portfolio tool within the classroom. I also had very limited knowledge on the purpose of a e-portfolio and how it could possibly help me get hired after the Marine Corps. As someone who currently does not have a single location where all of my previous school work was saved, I like the idea of having all of my work placed within an official location that could be used for official business after I complete my degree and possibly support me getting a job. The portfolio is a broader collection of artifacts collected over time that show professional growth as well as historical relevant work experience. A resume is a short “quick shot” look at someone’s career experience, statistics, and accolades (Hinkle, 2023). I personally believe that having employers view both my resume and e-portfolio is the most beneficial way of ensuring that I am hired for the appropriate job. The items found on both the resume and e-portfolio will help build the most realistic picture of work quality, ethic, and growth that employers can use to assess the level of impact I would have on the company. I do wonder if an e-portfolio could also harm your ability to get a job in regard to a company seeing the topics that have been focused on previously and identifying that this information would not be helpful. Or maybe companies see that having an established and updated e-portfolio as a clue to the level of professional they are working with?

“I discovered the Portfolio tool within the classroom during the first week of the course. I think it is a great tool for students who will be hunting for jobs after graduation. Having employers view an e-portfolio over a resume helps candidates in multiple ways.
First, it is easier to showcase different skills. For instance, anyone could claim to be an expert at Microsoft Excel expert on a resume. An e-portfolio allows someone to show off a personally designed spreadsheet that would give employers confidence in their skills, especially if the spreadsheet looked professional and aesthetically pleasing with different formulas.
Another advantage that e-portfolios have over resumes is that they can show off someone’s personality. Resumes usually only consist of a hard data, such as certificates, listed skills, and employment history. It is a quick reference that is useful in sifting through hundreds of applicants to ensure they meet minimum requirements, but e-portfolios can be more helpful when employers need to discern who would be the best hire between the final few candidates. I know that someone’s personality and how they would fit in with the current employees can matter as much as their certificates and other qualifications.
A third advantage that e-portfolios have is that they can make employers feel a connection with the potential candidates before their first meeting together. Portfolios can show someone’s growth and progression through school and jobs in a way that resumes cannot. Overall, resumes are still useful when employers have a lot of candidates to consider, but e-portfolios can help set people apart.”
