MGTS7621 Career ePortfolio Task Guide Semester
Title: Career ePortfolio
Type: Online compilation
A. Assessment task
This assessment task requires you to develop your personal Career ePortfolio based on what
you learned about yourself through Assessment Task 1 Professional Development
Reflective Journal, your ongoing career planning and management and what you have
learned in the Course.
Otherwise known as a Professional Portfolio (Harrington & Hall 2007), an ePortfolio is used
to capture and organise information to showcase your skills, accomplishments, and samples
of your professional work to prospective employers and potential clients. It is a way of
documenting or recording who you are, what you have to offer and what you are seeking, or
“marketing yourself” (Harrington & Hall 2007 p 74).
The process of planning and creating your e-Portfolio, will assist you to prepare for
transitioning to the next stage of your career and help you to articulate your knowledge more
effectively, skills, other qualities (KSOQ’s) to employers and clients. This task will also
provide you with the experience of preparing a competitive job application for your chosen
career field.
For this task, based on information in your Career Plan, you are required to create an
ePortfolio, which includes the following items, which you will have worked on during class:
1. Job advertisement or position description – to assess how well your resume and cover
letter match the selection criteria (non-assessable). An original job ad in English or
which you can translate into English. If you are to translate into English, you

2. Resume (2-3 pages)
3. Cover letter (1 page)
4. Elevator pitch (30 seconds presented in a Word document).
