Why Do Portfolios Work?
Portfolios can bring a number of advantages to the job seeker willing to invest a little extra time into their marketing materials. Some of these advantages include:
- Reduces perception of ageism
- Increases perception of being tech-savvy
- Demonstrates organization
- Demonstrates communications skills
- Demonstrates expertise, rather than just claiming expertise
- Gives hiring manager a product sample of you
- Focuses attention on work product, instead of longevity, industry, age, function, or other limiting factors
- Few of your competitors use one (outside of design/media fields) allowing you to stand out
- Demonstrates experience in new or non-work related skills for career changers
- Increases exposure and "findability" on Google
