Special folders are sold in regular V office supply stores. Don't forget to include information about yourself in the first file: name, education, work experience, contact information.

Next, place the best example, in your opinion - this way you will be able to immediately make the necessary impression. If the size of the work is too large, do not invent anything, just take a photo of it and attach the photo.

How to place samples? Most often, they are laid out in chronological order or by style and genre. The second option is preferable, as it provides a more structured presentation.

If you are a designer, artist, architect, and you have a sketchbook (an album for sketches, creative ideas), choose the most successful things from it and also include them as examples in your portfolio.

Applicants in non-creative fields can provide documents as a self-presentation that demonstrate their level of professionalism, i.e. certificates, diplomas, licenses, diplomas, letters of recommendation, patents for inventions, publications in thematic publications.

Electronic portfolio.

Portfolio examples

The electronic version of the portfolio differs from the traditional one only in that it is designed in digital form. In other words, its basis is also information about the applicant and examples of work.

When creating such a dossier, Microsoft Word, MS PowerPoint, and HTML editor programs are used. It is best to have a sample portfolio on a disk or flash card.
