Classmates,
Did you know that Career Services is very familiar with the e-portfolio?
I wasn’t aware that career services are familiar with e-portfolios, but I did notice that they assist students with resume writing and editing. I haven’t decided yet on whether I want to use their services. It would be helpful to see some success stories about their resume assistance before deciding. I don’t want to use a service without knowing the level and quality of service being provided. So, I think I’ll research first and see what other people say about their services. This will give me a better indication of whether I should use them. Thus, I will be sure to research career services more before deciding. After some thought I feel that maybe what the capstone should focus on is resume building or utilizing Career Services or how to use those services and allow the eighty-five dollar “Technical Fee” pay to use those services temporarily and produce a solid resume.
How will you use Career Services to help make your e-portfolio more powerful?
I’m looking to make my e-portfolio very basic, with the career field I intend on entering once, I officially retire from the military I’m unsure if I’ll use Career Services, the organizations don’t review e-portfolios. Although it may seem daunting, having an excellent online presence is becoming increasingly important nowadays. I will use my portfolio to promote myself and stand out if required. To kickstart this journey, I will attend a day-long LinkedIn Bootcamp class. The class aims to help me create a strong LinkedIn profile and start thinking about my future retirement plans. I’m grateful for the experience and wish everyone the best of luck in their endeavors! Lastly, I would like to say to my classmates that I’ve enjoyed working with you over the past eight weeks, and congratulations to all.
