Employment Portfolio - Cengage



Employment Portfolio & Resume Template

There is a difference between the kind of Academic Portfolio you may be required to submit to graduate from an initial certification teacher education program and an Employment Portfolio. An Employment Portfolio is used to sell yourself to a prospective principal or school district. You bring it to the interview and share the contents with the interviewers. The look of the portfolio will say as much about you as the content itself.
