Do you have a portfolio?
Portfolios allow you to show your work and accomplishments in ways that make you stand out. You can illustrate skills, creativity, and your ability to reflect, prototype, and iterate through an experience that cannot be conveyed on a classic resume.
Project Manus, MIT Communication Lab, and MIT MAD have been collaborating with MIT Career Advising & Professional Development (CAPD) to consolidate resources under a dedicated web page.
On the CAPD website, you can get started with the following resources:
- Learn more about the benefit of portfolios.
- Learn how to get started on your portfolio.
- Review the tools and resources for creating portfolios.
