面对紧张的就业市场，许多求职者都通过创建个人职业卷宗来提高他们的竞争能力。一份职业卷宗不只是简历，而是以此让雇主深入了解你的目标、成就和经历。下列４个步骤有助于你开始创建自己高质量的个人职业卷宗。
How to create a career portfolio1) ？
In a recent Gallup survey，53 percent of Americans with full-time jobs said they knew someone who had lost a job in the past year．Of that same group，more than a third feared becoming unemployed themselves．Faced with a tight job market，many job seekers are improving their competitive edge by creating personal career portfolios．More than a résumé，a career portfolio gives employers an in-depth look at your goals，accomplishments，and experiences．The following four steps will help you get started building your own topnotch2) portfolio．
１．Identify your goals An effective portfolio should have a single，unifying theme：your professional goals．Your first task，then，is to do a little self－assessment．Then you'll find it easier to develop a cohesive3) and targeted portfolio．If you're still wondering what you'd like to be when you grow up，take a few easy self－assessment courses．You can find such training courses on the Internet as well，such as All About You（http：training．msn．com ）．
２．Organize your paperwork With your goals as the theme，each document you include in your portfolio should provide evidence supporting that theme．While you may include certificates，diplomas，awards，reference letters，samples of completed projects，and information on community service and professional memberships，be sure you are showcasing only those documents that align4) well with your stated professional goals．
３．Put it all together Once you've assembled your portfolio，make two versions：an original that you can show during interviews，and a reproduction to leave behind for your interviewers' in－depth review．Both copies should be impeccable5)．If original certificates and awards are worn，have them professionally reproduced．If you are including lengthier6) items such as completed projects，publications，or proposals，make sure they are free of grammatical gaffes7)，spelling errors，and formatting incosistencies．
４．Consider going digital Creating a printed copy of your career portfolio is essential，but don't overlook the marketing power of digital media．Although a digital portfolio isn't necessary for every job search，it may make it easier to reproduce your portfolio，to send it to distant locations，and to update it frequently．You can burn your digital portfolio onto a CD－ROM，save it on a Zip disk to send through e-mail，or design it as a password－protected Web site．Another option is to use the MSN Careers résué posting service to post your portfolio，making it accessible to a large number of potential employers．If you've never created a Web page before，you may go to take a HTML design course in an Internet training school．
