Organize a portfolio.

Organization should include an index, and work should be separated into sections labeled by subject areas. Possible sections include

  • architectural drawings
  • mechanical drawings
  • manual drawings
  • projects
  • awards and recognition (e.g., SkillsUSA, academic, professional)
  • general (résumé, cover letter, letters of recommendation)
  • certifications.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How can an unorganized portfolio be detrimental to the presentation of its contents?
  • What might a disorderly portfolio lead a prospective employer or client to conclude about a candidate?
