How to
develop your e2Portfolio
|
The e2Portfolio
development process is a step-by-step process of collecting,
substantiating, and organizing documented evidence that
demonstrates your skill proficiency levels.

The e2Portfolio Development Process
An
electronic employability (e2)portfolio
serves as a career anchor for tracking employability as part
of finding employment, staying employed, and keeping tabs on
career satisfaction.
More
specifically, it is a way to monitor skill development over
time, assess your proficiency levels
in those skills, and identify how they can transfer
across industries during times of career and job transitions.
I have identified two
approaches to the
e2Portfolio development process: a conceptual one and an
applied approach.
Conceptual Approach:
This approach is somewhat
like following a traditional career development process (e.g.,
self-assessment; identify and explore options; set goals; plan
action; take action).
-
Identify your stage in work
-
Develop an employability
skills profile
-
Create a master eResume
-
Develop a personal profile
-
Gather artifacts that support
skills profile
-
Convert artifacts into
electronic files
-
Create a narrative storyboard
outline
-
Establish navigational
linkages between skill acquisition and demonstrated
proficiency
-
Write supporting content for
online reading
-
Publish your e2Portfolio to
the Web
|

Practical Approach:
This
approach is an example of how to put the concept into
practice. The example I use here is my own. The steps I list
are the steps I have actually used and find successful.
Background
Career Situation:
....to be
continued.

Job Interview Fun
Just in case you thought you did poorly in a job interview, read these anecdotes from executives who actually encountered these situations during an interview:
"... said he was so well-qualified that if he didn't get the job, he would prove the company's management was incompetent."
"During the interview, an alarm clock went off from the candidate's brief case. He took it out, shut it off, apologized and said he had to leave for another interview."
"He came to the interview with a moped and left it in the reception area. He didn't want it to get stolen, and stated that he would require indoor parking for the moped."
"She asked me if I had any children. When I said, Yes, she stated that there was no way I could do a good job of being both a boss and a mother."
