Overview

The PD activities for this week focus on enhancing your LinkedIn profile, and building a portfolio. Here are the steps to complete:

Learn the importance of having an optimized LinkedIn profile to meet career goals.
Understand the key components that go into creating a terminal portfolio.

Part 1: Watch and take notes on the following videos.

Part 2: Take Action Terminal Portfolio Next Steps:

After watching the video on building your terminal portfolio, take a few minutes to do the following:
Check your email to confirm that you have an invite to set up your terminal profile. If not, reach out to the Lead Career Specialist.
Next, read how to get started with creating sections of your portfolio.
Then, fill out the basic profile information (about section, contact information, previous industries, etc).
You do not need to go any further with building your portfolio in Mod 3. You can complete the other sections according to your schedule.
In Mod 3, you do not have to complete your Terminal Portfolio in its entirety. In Mod 4, it is the final deliverable.

- Careerflow is an interactive profile scoring tool. Your score increases as you improve your profile. A score of 80 or higher is considered excellent!
