Reminder: Bring Portfolios Next Week

Next week is the END OF THE FIRST SEMESTER!  AAAAHHH!!

Use today to get caught up and turn in ANYTHING that you want credit for.  After next Friday, we move forward and don't look back.

As we have been discussing since the beginning of school, your final project will be a professional portfolio.  I recommend a nice 3-hole binder (preferably leather or imitation leather).  They can be found at office supply stores or online.  A solid-color binder (i.e. black) can also be used, but remember that you will be bringing this to job interviews so it should look as professional as possible.

You will also need several sheet protectors to hold documents.  I recommend the heavy duty sheet protectors because the "cheap" ones tend to wrinkle up as you flip through your portfolio.

You will keep résumés, references, job search tips, typing certificates, awards, etc. in your portfolio. Portfolios will be something you can use to assist you in filling out applications, provide you with a place to keep extra résumés, and help you prepare for interviews.

I have your typing certificates ready and will give them to you when you have your portfolio and a sheet protector to hold it.  When I do a portfolio check next week I will be giving you credit for having a typing certificate in there.

If you have questions or concerns, please let me know ASAP.
