3E-PORTFOLIO
Introduction:
Portfolio is one of the most important aspects of professional career and the portfolio
allows the individual to provide concrete and collective records of the experience and degrees
of the individual to the organization they are seeking to start career in. It has to be mentioned
in this context, that the concept of portfolio encompasses a living and changing collection of
the records that reflect the accomplishments, experiences, skills and attributes that have been
acquired or developed by the individual in the course of their life. Along with that, portfolio
serves as a potent tool in marketing oneself to the rest of the world, especially the employers,
corporations, colleges and universities. Hence, it is a simple and yet very effective manner of
letting the employers recognize and understand the competence, expertise and skills that the
individual might have before making the choice of hiring or getting enrolled in professional
courses (Cadd, 2016).

Portfolio Design and its Characteristics
As discussed by Chawla (2017), a portfolio can be defined as the collective

which highlights the achievements, experiences, skills and academic performance. The
portfolio highlights and showcases example of some of the best work experience including
