A portfolio is a living and changing collection of records that reflect your
accomplishments, skills, experiences, and attributes. It highlights and showcases
samples of some of your best work, along with life experiences, values
and achievements.

The personal information that you incorporate into your portfolio can greatly
reflect on your abilities as an individual as well as become a useful tool in
marketing yourself to employers and corporations. A portfolio does not take
the place of a resume, but it can accentuate your abilities and what you can
offer in the chosen field.
