Portfolio (12 Items) Due December 11
Completion requirements
For this project you are going to create a portfolio that you can use and update during the first part of your career beyond high school. The first thing you need to do is develop an email address that is now career appropriate. An email address like "Pookiebear101@hotmail.com" is not going to get you a job. A potential employer will be turned off by a cutesy email address. Now is the time to create an email address that is professional such as "firstname.lastname@gmail.com. It's a very good idea to have a gmail address for future use.
You may use any portfolio holding website or Word which suits your needs. A Google search will help with this. Do not use any Rocky View based website or school email address because you will lose this upon graduation. When you are ready, you can share this folder with me through Google Drive.
Resumé which MUST include references
Cover Letter
Optional:
Driver's license
Opened: Thursday, 10 September 2020, 1:24 AM
Due: Friday, 11 December 2020, 8:00 AM
