An Employment What?

An Employment Portfolio is simply a place to organize information about yourself: your skills and abilities, your jobs, your education and training, your strengths, values, and qualities.

Get yourself a folder and put the following list on the outside. As you put documents into your folder, check it off. (printable version)
