1 Advanced BVP Career Portfolio You will be creating a digital career portfolio using Google Drive and Google Sites. The best thing about this portfolio is that because it is digital and online based, you will be able to access it from anywhere you have access to the Internet and it will stay with you forever, if you wish for it to. Therefore, you can use it in pursuits of employment within the field of video and broadcast or in other lines of work. A career portfolio is designed to make it easy for you to display your best work and accomplishments. Employers and college admissions staff can use your completed portfolio to judge your academic ability, maturity, and motivation. A career portfolio, along with a personal interview, will help determine a your future employment opportunities or acceptance into a two or four year college. A career portfolio should include all of your accomplishments, experiences, and activities. The portfolio should stay with you for your entire career. You should add to it regularly as you master certain skills relevant to your career objectives. The finished product will provide others with a comprehensive profile of you and your abilities. Directions: You will create a folder in Google Drive for your portfolio and be sure to share that folder with me. Ask me for my information (if you don t already have it) in order to do so. In that folder you will create Google documents for the first 8 parts of the portfolio. Specific directions for each part follow below. You will have deadlines for each part of the portfolio and your grade will be penalized (10 points per day late) if you haven t created and finished that part of the portfolio by the deadline. After each document is created, you will use Google Sites to create a web presence for your portfolio where you will display all parts of the portfolio including samples of your best work. You can keep the site private if you would prefer not to have your information public, but you must share the site with me so I may see and comment on your progress. Remember that this portfolio is a major portion of your grade. Therefore, it will be in your best interest to work on the portfolio throughout the semester and keep the deadlines. *Broadcast 5 s will visit each section of your portfolio from BVP4 and add additional information as necessary. BVP5 s will also add two additional sections to your portfolio. You must sit for a mock interview with our Work based Learning Instructor (or another approved teacher) and prepare a follow up letter for the interviewer after the interview. These are the parts of the portfolio that you must include and their respective deadlines:: 1. A resume 1/24/ A cover letter 2/7/ Accomplishments 2/21/ Work Experience 3/7/ Leadership Experience 3/21/ Extracurricular Activities 4/11/ Special Skills 4/25/ Samples of your best work 5/2/2014
2 *9. Mock Interview 5/9/2014 *10. Follow Up Letter 5/9/2014 *BVP5+ only 1. Resume A resume is a summary of a person s qualifications. Effective resumes use short statements to inform potential interviewers about important facts regarding the applicant and to catch their attention. A resume should include these important facts: How you may be contacted (mail, telephone, e mail) Your experiences, skills, and abilities for the position When creating a resume, ask yourself the following questions: What should a potential interviewer know about you? What achievement(s) could you highlight to help you get the interview? 2. Cover Letter A cover letter serves as a first impression. It is a way of introducing yourself to prospective employers, indicating your interest in the position, and highlighting your qualifications. It is important to address: Why you are interested in this position/business/college (if you do not have a particular position/business/college in mind, choose one that might interest you) Your career aspirations and goals. The skills and abilities that would make you successful in a particular career or at a particular college. Why this business or college should select you. A cover letter should be personalized while still professional, no longer than one single spaced, typewritten page, and in proper business format. 3. Accomplishments This section shows employers all of your accomplishments. Possible awards and achievements could be making the honor roll, winning a scholarship, being recognized for community service, awarded MVP on a sports team, or obtaining a certification. An example of a particularly outstanding performance could also go in this section. Include any certificates or documents that prove your achievement or receipt of award. If you have been given any medals or trophies that will not fit in your notebook, take pictures of them to put in your portfolio. For each award, explain what it was for, why it was given to you, and what work was involved in attaining it. For each achievement, explain what your goal was, the steps you took to accomplish it, and any obstacles you encountered along the way. 4. Work Experience Work experience shows an employer that you are mature enough to handle job responsibilities
3 and that you have had the opportunity to practice your skills and training in real world situations. Work experience also proves that you have prepared for full time employment and have learned to work with others in ways that are successful and rewarding. Work experience could be a summer or after school job, an internship, helping with a family business, or a neighborhood babysitting gig. This section can be organized two ways. You should choose the way that best fits your work experience and your desired career. Experience that is most related to what you're looking to do next should be placed closer to the top of your resume where they are most likely to be seen at a glance and most likely to be read. Chronological order is the easiest for the reader to get a mental image of you and your achievements. Hopping around can cause confusion and may create the appearance of gaps if you're placing experience from different periods next to each For each work experience, list the employer, your title, the dates you worked there, and your job responsibilities. Describe your day to day tasks and any projects that you worked on, your role on the project, the contributions you made, and how you helped reach project completion. Include evidence of your work experience, such as certificates or other documents of employer recognition, business cards from past employers, copies of performance reviews, and pictures of you on the job. 5. Leadership Experience Leadership experience shows that you are able to use your intellectual abilities, experience, and job relevant knowledge and skills to lead and motivate others to complete a task. Leadership experience means that you have been trusted enough to have been put in a leadership role, that you can work well with others, and that you can communicate effectively. It is one of the most important factors in hiring and promotion decisions. Examples of leadership experience could be holding an officer position in a club, being captain of a sports team, being the leader of a group assignment, or any time that you showed leadership skills during an activity or project. For each leadership experience, describe the situation, what your responsibilities were, how you accomplished your goals, the skills you used or acquired, and how your leadership affected others. Include proof, such as recognition of your leadership or relevant pictures. 6. Extracurricular Activities Extracurricular activities show others that you have made a meaningful contribution to something, what your non academic interests are, that you can maintain a long term commitment, that you can manage your time and priorities, and what unique perspectives you can bring to a group. Extracurricular activities could be a school club, volunteer activity, religious affiliation, sports team, or personal hobby. For each organization, explain what its purpose was, what you gained by being part of it, and how you contributed to it. For each personal activity or hobby, explain how you stay active in it and what you gain or learn from it. Be sure to include
4 pictures and other documentation of your extracurricular activities. 7. Special Skills Communicating your skills to an employer shows them what you can do. Special skills would be: Computer proficiencies and technical abilities: fluent in Java, proficient in Excel, certified to operate a table saw Office procedures: answering multi lined phone systems, taking dictation, transcription, typing Linguistic capabilities: fluency in a foreign language, ability to translate General skills: leadership, communication, time management, organization, reasoning, decision making Personal Qualities: team player, self motivated, value oriented, self confident Any skill that is industry specific for the job you re seeking Show proof of each skill by including past work, describing a situation in which you used your skills, or including pictures. For example, if you are fluent in Java, provide a screenshot of a website you created. Or, if you say you have teamwork skills, describe a time when you used your skills to make a group run more efficiently or achieve a goal. 8. Samples of Your Best Work This section of the portfolio demonstrates what you can do and how well you can do it. Whenever possible, choose samples that display skills appropriate to the position for which you are applying. The samples should be of work that you are proud of and shows care and planning. For your Broadcast Portfolio, I would like you to include the video projects that you worked on either independently or as part of a group. Please explain what you did on the project and why you selected it as your best work. You may need to use YouTube to upload your samples to and then embed them into your Google Site. You could also include any samples of work that are three dimensional and cannot be placed in the binder may accompany the portfolio. For example, make up, costuming, or set/lighting designs. However, instead of the sample itself, your portfolio can include a photograph and description explaining the physical item. Each sample of work should be accompanied by a description that tells an employer when, why, and for whom a project was completed, as well as what obstacles you were faced with and the processes used to overcome those obstacles. If you were responsible for only part of the project, explain your contribution. Possible examples of work could be: Scripts Set Designs Costuming Makeup Videos Research papers, book reports, essays
5 Math projects Science projects Exams that show achievement (Including the Pathway Exam!) Computer projects Mechanical/technical drawings Pictures, projects, descriptions of activities relating to personal interests and hobbies (i.e., photography, poetry, cooking, woodworking, etc.) Pictures, projects, descriptions of activities relating to community involvement outside of school (i.e., Scouts, religious organizations, 4 H, etc.) *9. Mock Interview Prepare yourself for the types of questions that an interviewer is likely to ask you during a job interview. Use web resources to study for this. Schedule a date and time with the WBL coordinator that would best fit his/her schedule to do this interview. Be sure that she has access to view your portfolio online BEFORE the interview. Complete the interview and then write a reflection essay on the process of the interview and anything you learned from the experience. Be sure to include that information as a shared google file for my review. You do not need to add it to your online portfolio. *10. Follow Up Letter Write a follow up letter that will be given to the WBL Coordinator no more than 3 days after the date of your mock interview. Use web resources to determine the best way to write a follow up letter and the contents that should be included in the letter. Be sure to include that letter as a shared google file for my review. You do not need to add it to your online portfolio.
