Career Portfolios

Professional writers know that the key to landing a good job is an excellent portfolio. Good managers know when they review a professional portfolio that they're dealing with someone who knows what he or she is doing. But how do you put together a portfolio when you don't have any experience?

Simple: Fake it till you make it! Write a series of samples to showcase the skills you already have.

Leverage Your Expertise

If you're new to technical writing, use your existing academic background or past careers to form a foundation for your new career. Think back on all the types of papers, reports, manuals, and how-to instructions you encountered in your job, and all the ones you wish had been there to guide you. Pick a document you encountered, and write or rewrite it.
