Homework: Business Building a Professional Portfolio Project
As an office worker, you will need to prioritize work to fulfill duties and meet deadlines. Office work often involves planning and completing long-term projects. In this activity, you will plan, schedule, and complete a long-term project: a portfolio to display your work.
The general purpose of a portfolio is to demonstrate your skills and abilities related to work. A portfolio can contain samples of your work, awards or other recognitions, certificates or degrees related to training or education, a description of homework or projects that have been successfully completed, and letters or recommendations related to your work abilities. A good portfolio can be helpful in getting a job. (Put screenshots of the results/tables/excel as part of the answer)
A. List the steps to complete the portfolio. For example, define clearly the purpose for your portfolio, research portfolio layouts, schedule time to work on the portfolio, collect materials (classroom and other), and plan initial documents to go into the portfolio.
B. List the materials and resources you will need to complete the portfolio, such as folders, time, money, paper, dividers, notebooks, and classroom projects. You can create the portfolio in hard copy or scan materials to create an electronic portfolio.
C. List the people you need to contact to complete the project: instructors, administrators, students, parents, businesspeople, and so on.
D. Create a long-range schedule. Use spreadsheet software to list the dates and tasks to be completed by specific dates. (Hint: Key your ending date or deadline first.) Key a title and beginning date on your schedule to make it uniquely yours. Print a copy of your schedule to use as you complete your portfolio project.
E. Follow your plan to prepare the portfolio. Make a note of the changes that have to be made to your original schedule as you complete your project. Were your deadlines realistic? Were the people available at the times you listed? Did you find the materials and resources available when you needed them? Did you follow your schedule? If not, why not?
F. Write a short report in unbound style summarizing your experiences as you created the portfolio. Discuss the factors listed above and your own observations. Include in your summary a copy of your beginning and ending schedule for comparison purposes.
G. Display or share your portfolio with other class members. Update your portfolio periodically as you gain new skills, complete training, or produce documents that will demonstrate your skills effectively.
