I decided to read this book to see what advice it offered about creating portfolios. The reviews I read said it was geared to high school and college students. I wanted to see if I could use it with young people, but I found the book is really geared to anyone seeking employment, advancing in their career, or changing careers.

I wish I'd had this book in my last semester of library school, because she breaks the process into doable steps that help you focus. Advice in this book would've made assembling my e-portfolio a little less stressful.

From purchasing supplies to assembling the final portfolio, she provides useful advice in simple, easy to follow steps. I found the section on the emergency portfolio very helpful if you don't have time to read the entire book, but really need to put a portfolio together in 24 hours. The supplies can be purchased in office supply stores, and product numbers and descriptions are also included. This edition also contains a CD with templates for putting together the various parts of your portfolio and a sample electronic portfolio.

An excellent, simple read in creating a portfolio, but also excellent in helping you to quantify and qualify your talents and skills. Highly recommended.
