Things to think about:

Purpose and Audience: A career electronic portfolio is a collection of evidence (e.g. text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries, hyperlinks) assembled and managed by a user to present their professional profile. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user’s abilities and platforms for self-expression, and, if they are online, they can be maintained dynamically over time. The audience for this portfolio is any potential future employer. 

Portfolio Contents: The following items are elements that can be included in an electronic portfolio. A career portfolio does not need to contain all of these elements, but should contain enough information to give the potential employer a good understanding of the candidate’s background, work experience, and personal strengths.
