Career Portfolio

Support for building a Professional Online Presence

Creating a professional online profile or portfolio can make a significant difference in a student’s job search and career development. A well-crafted LinkedIn profile and online portfolio can showcase a student’s skills, experience, and achievements, making them more visible to potential employers. A student’s LinkedIn profile acts as a digital CV, allowing them to connect with employers, receive endorsements, and share their employment history and skills. Aim for an “All-Star” profile by completing all sections and building a network of 50+ connections. An online portfolio takes a student’s professional profile to the next level by providing a visual showcase of their projects, skills, and achievements. Include a personal statement, reports, evaluations, research summaries, photos, awards, and contact information for references.
Having a professional online presence can:
- Help a student stand out in a competitive job market
- Showcase their skills and experience to potential employer
- Increase their visibility and networking opportunities
- Provide a platform to share their achievements and projects
Students can attend portfolio building workshops offered by the Skills Lab at Sydney Met to learn more about creating a professional online presence and showcasing their skills and achievements.
