We held a webinar today on Online Career Portfolios with nearly 100 career centers in attendance. After talking to half a dozen schools who use online career portfolios today, we found that they are being used as both a career development tool (identifying strengths and interests) and as a way for a student or an alum to showcase his/her talents and experiences.
On the employer side, we surveyed over 100 recruiters and 42% told us they would use portfolios as part of the interview screening process (especially with on-the-fence applicants) and 22% said they would use them after the interview to learn more about a candidate.
Check out a sample portfolio and tell us how you would most likely use it.
