Before You Begin

1. Collect: Collect the information for your electronic portfolio. Add new content to you site as you gather your resources.
   
   
2. Select: Select those documents that are most pertinent to your goals and keep them handy as you work on your electronic portfolio.  Content will be added to your new eFolio site first before any page layout begins. It is important to select pertinent work samples and experiences that should be displayed. At this point, you may wish to think about groups of related information and use the tagging feature.
   
   
3. Reflect: Reflect on what you’ve accomplished in school and in your career, and how it fits with your goals. Look at your site content and determine what is important and how your pages should display.  Add reflections to content for added depth.
   
   
4. Build: Build your site using the electronic portfolio tool. Determine how your pages and your sites should be created and displayed.  Pages for education, employment, and volunteer activities may mirror your resume in a more attractive and interactive format.  Multiple sites may be created within one eFolio.
   
   
5. Publish: Publish your portfolio by making it public or inviting visitors. You can let others read all sites or only a select site within your primary eFolio.  Targeting is helpful if you have multiple skills and are open to a number of different employment options.
