The USI Department of Communications, therefore, recommends its majors to maintain a portfolio of their educational, extracurricular, and professional achievements while they participate in the program. Furthermore, this portfolio shall be required of any student applying for the university's internship program through Communications. Since the portfolio serves as a documented record of all achievement relevant to a professional career, it may prove to be every bit as valuable an asset to you during your initial job search as the degree itself. Moreover, the Communications faculty at USI are ready to advise and help you assemble these portfolios. You can help guarantee future success by starting immediately on this project and by updating it every semester.
Resumes are excellent tools.
They introduce job candidates by mail and they provide an excellent screening device for human resource managers as they review job applicants. However, resumes often only help you get an interview for a job. It is during the interview process that an your qualifications are truly measured. More and more personnel officers expect to see portfolios either immediately before or during important job interviews. New graduates seeking to enter the career need every possible advantage they can gain during the interview process.
