What's the Purpose of This Portfolio?
 
The purpose is to present yourself to potential employers, post-secondary education representatives, and/or military recruiters.  These people will be able to learn about you through reading your personal statement, and looking at your resume and cover letter. For this purpose, these items in your portfolio must be typed, clean, and look organized and professional. Other documents in your portfolio may be of interest to different post-secondary institutions to gain a better insight into who you are.  These may be your community service documentation, test scores, and your reflections to various works.
