SU eRecruiting Portfolio
Showcase Your Skills with the SU
Portfolio!
√ What is this SU eRecruiting Portfolio?
Overview
Getting in front of employers and expressing how valuable you are on
just a piece of paper is a challenge, no matter what career you're
planning to pursue after college. There's so much more to showcasing
your skills, talents and experiences.
Through our partner Experience/eRecruiting, Salisbury University is pleased to
introduce the SU Portfolio. The Portfolio provides a way for you
to go beyond your resume to recount personal experiences, define
accomplishments and upload files and work samples that demonstrate the
qualities and skills that a standard resume just can't. Here's your
opportunity to let your true personality shine.
-There are a multitude of benefits for any type of student, of any major.
● For juniors and seniors, this is a
great and easy way to compile all of your information and keep track of
it as you really begin the job search process.
● As a freshman or a sophomore you can
start gathering all of your unique experiences early so that when the
time comes to begin preparing for life after college, you're two steps
ahead of everybody else.
● You can share your
SU Portfolio with anyone-your career center,
mentors,
professors and potential employers.
●
In your portfolio, you'll find
4 main components - Profile, Resume, Experiences and
References.
1. Profile: keep your
contact
information and career interests here
2. Resume:
searchable by employers,
it incorporates your work history, education, organizations, skills, and
certifications
3. Experiences: talk about
internships, volunteer experiences, club functions, etc. Expand on items in your resume and other notable things
you've done that really show off your talents and your personality
4. References: have your references
ready should an employer ask for them-have as many as you want
Preparing for your career is hard but exciting work, so the more tools
you have at your disposal the better. We encourage you to get started in
creating a Portfolio so you can manage your job search process with ease
and connect with the right employer for you!

√ I
have My Portfolio Built Now How Do I Get Someone to Look at it?
The four sections (Profile, Resume,
Experience and References) are built but how do you get
someone, like an employer, to view it?
-The steps to "Share" or send your
portfolio are:
● Login
and click on Portfolio at the top of the page
● Under
My Portfolio you will see a link that says "Create Shared View"- click
on it.
● You
will then be able to fill in anyone, any employer, any professor, etc.
who you will want to look at your portfolio. You can also choose
templates that are different and quite nice.
● Once
you have completed the Shared View of the person you want to see it, you
will arrive at a "confirmation page" that has all 4 tabs and above those
tabs are 3 links-Edit Properties | Preview |
Share
● Each tab permits you to select
the information you want to share.
There will be links to "Add Information" which
give you the opportunity to send as much or as
little information was you want.
● When you click on "Share"
(make sure you have chosen all the information
you want to send to them prior to clicking on
Share.) you will arrive at a page where you
have to complete the person's email, how long
you want them to view it and an email message.
● You
will arrive at a page that asks for that person's email address, how
many days you want to "share" your Portfolio and a place to select an
email or write your own.
● Then click "Send."
● The
person will then receive an email from you that says something similar
to this. The email provides a link to your SU Portfolio:
√ Specific Steps on How to Share Your Portfolio: (if it
is not viewable)
I cannot get into your account due to confidentiality issues, but
here is what I would do:
-click on Portfolio when you enter
-click on "Create Shared View" link in the middle, left of the page
-type in the "Viewers Name" and the "Template"
you want to use
-click on "Save"
-you will then arrive at a page that lists these tabs-Profile, Resume,
Experiences, References
-above these tabs you will see a "Share"
link-click on the "Share" link
-on the next page you will then type in the person's email that you want
to send it to and the number of days you want to share it with him/her
and there is a message box you can type in a message or use one of the
templates
-click "Send"
-you will then come back to a page with the four tabs on it and under
the tabs you will see a link that says "add Profile Information"
-When you click on that you will then be able to select what "Profile"
information
 you want to share-click the check boxes you want to send and
click "Add"
-Next click on the Resume tab and select the resume you want to send. Do
the same with the Experiences and References tabs. This is how you
actually "Share" your portfolio. This procedure lets you send what you
want to send.
You can this go to "Track Portfolio" and see who it was sent to at the
bottom of the page. Good luck.

 What
the Employers Will See
To Whom It May Concern:
I am interested in the job that you have posted and wanted to send you
my Career Portfolio that I've linked to below. Not only does it include
my resume, but it also includes my Experiences, which are
accomplishments and stories that I feel illustrate some of my more
intangible qualities and how I've applied my skills. I hope you, too,
feel that those qualities combined with my interests make me the right
fit for the job.
Sincerely,
Russell Endicott
