WRT-382 Portfolio Analysis

My portfolio would consist of three documents: my cover letter, a table contents, and my resume. Each file must be specific to my field in order to show the prospective employer what I am capable of doing. My resume will be a concise summary of my past work experience, education, certificates, references, and skills I hold personally along with my character. The table of contents will make it very easy for the prospective employer to navigate through the portfolio and find my information, while noticing my good organization skills. My cover letter is just a brief summary of what i have done to work my way into the medical field, my past work experience, and what i hope to achieve while working as a medical assistant.

While building my resume, I learned that creating a positive image depends on whether I present a well-prepared and written resume. I also learned that my resume should be structured in a way that is well-organized and well written to show my personal positive attributes. Therefore, I put my areas of expertise at the top. Some employers don’t have the time to search for expert areas in a 3-page resume.
