Don't feel you need to use these exact ones for your portfolio. A summary of your education, achievements, and work experience, using a chronological or functional format. A text-only version of your resume should also be included. Besides print samples, you can also include CD-ROMs, videos, and other multimedia formats. A collection of any kudos you have received from customers, clients, colleagues, past employers, professors, etc.
Some experts even suggest including copies of favorable employer evaluations and reviews.
A description of relevant courses, degrees, licenses, and certifications. At least one reference should be a former manager.
