Jodi M. Sansone
Your resume is not your life story, it's a marketing document. Tailor your resume to the role you are pursuing. only put things on your resume that you like to do, otherwise you'll get considered for jobs you hate. So if you don't like to do elearning for systems implementations, don't put those accomplishments on your resume.

Jonathan Hill
I think there's definitely a place for some RADICAL CANDOR in our portfolios.

Anita Kumar
Just like we always consider our target audience when designing our learning solutions, we must consider our target audience when crafting our portfolio. The target audience comprises busy hiring managers. So don't drown them with details of your process. Make it succinct and visually appealing, so they quickly understand your process even if they're skimming through it.

Samuel Apata
Sharing about yourself gives reference points that make you more accessible to others and my self-titled demo reflects that. While it might contain more personal information than I might share with an employer, I'm curious to discover if we have any identities in common.

Yvonne Leklou
Update when you are between contracts or want to try something new. I hadn't been going to update my portfolio in quite a while. And when I finally did, I realized I needed to remove some very basic examples and a very long one. Short examples are great because most people looking at them don't have a lot of time. Also, add a brief explanation to each piece highlighting what you want the viewer to know. While it might be obvious to you, it might not be to the viewer.
