Make Your Own Portfolio: Electronic or Hard Copy?

Hard Copy:  When it comes to actually constructing a portfolio, many people use a three-ring binder and display their items in clear plastic sheet protectors. By using this format, samples can be added and removed easily. You may also want to use dividers to arrange examples into particular categories, such as specific skill areas (i.e. communication, leadership, research). Again, it is very important to have descriptions or explanations for items that may not be self-explanatory or for which information will benefit the reader.
