Making contacts in the industry before you
graduate is a great way to learn about the
different work options and cultures to gain a
feel for the setting that best suits you.
Portfolio Tips
Showcase your unique talents and your best work
Take high-quality pictures
of your work to use as you
develop a website, create
Pinterest pins, and produce
future marketing materials.
Well-produced and well-
edited videos of your work
are always impressive.
As soon as you get your
license, add that, too!
Beyond pictures, include
certifi cates from classes,
volunteer activities, trade shows,
awards you receive, and copies
of thank-you notes or reviews
during your student experiences.
Create a hard paper copy of
your portfolio, as well as a
digital copy that you can send to
potential employers.
