Resume Portfolio Development
Resume portfolios are ideal to use when completing scholarship applications. Most ask a student to list their accomplishments. Simply put "Please see enclosed resume portfolio" and then send it along with the completed application. Many of my students have done this and had much success.
When a student applies to a college, it is a "job" interview. The student wants to make themselves standout. Resume portfolios help.

The Process
Once I get the pictures and student information, it takes me about one week or less to get a draft to you for review. We work together, doing as many drafts as necessary until you approve. Upon completion, I will send you all the files so you can print and use them to your – or your student’s – advantage.
It is important that you and I are on the same page regarding how we work throughout this process of putting the portfolio together.
1.) I charge $399. The fee covers the entire process. When you are ready to begin, pay online.
2.) Once the payment is received, then I will email you the picture instructions and student information handout.
3.) Complete the information handout and submit pictures.
4.) I will complete first draft of the resume portfolio within one week of receiving your information handout and pictures.
5.) I will send you the draft for review. We will continue updating the drafts until you feel it is ready.
6.) Once a final draft is approved, I will send you the electronic files.
7.) Unless you tell me otherwise, I may use your resume portfolio in the future to share with others to give them ideas. For example, when I do one of my College Bound Seminars, I will have a table set-up with example portfolios of actual students. I change the student’s last name and all the contact information to protect the student. If you do not want me to use your portfolio as an example, it is your responsibility to let me know within two weeks of you receiving the final draft and files.
