Module 7 How Do I Present my Portfolio?

Formatting Considerations

Creating a portfolio will require time and ongoing revisions as you gain further interpreting experiences and expertise. As you begin to develop your portfolio, you will want to decide where to best store your electronic documentation (i.e. resume, certificates, work samples, etc…). Options include:

Saving this documentation directly on your computer. This approach requires that you share files with the requesting party as singular file attachments directly via email.
Utilize an online cloud-based system like Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, or Dropbox. Online cloud-based systems make it easy to share your entire portfolio at one time via a link.
Create an ePortfolio website. This approach allows you to set specific sharing preferences from public to private depending on your preferred access to your ePortfolio.

As we begin this process of building your portfolio, keep these options in mind with the aim of eventually choosing the format that works best for you.
