Title: Update a portfolio.
Course: Office Specialist III - Preparation (12004-III) > Section: Preparing for Employment

Updating a portfolio involves writing and gathering materials that may include

- an introduction, listing the contents of the portfolio and summarizing the student's experience
- a career development package, including
  - résumé
  - letters of recommendation
  - college or employment application
- work samples representative of the student's skills
- documentation of the student's practical or work experience
- listing references.

Update should also include both printed and digital materials. These should be curated based on the job or opportunity being sought, with the recognition that the portfolio can be seen as a branding tool to market one’s skills, attributes, and abilities.
