Portfolio advice - if you are struggling

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I found its helped me this weekend.

The portfolio seems to scare us all so we don't do it so I decided to grab the bull by the horns this weekend.

I got my folder and a load of punched pockets out and labelled up the dividers, personal info,company profile and then all the unit numbers.

I got the info i had together, my exam result notifications and put that in the relevant sections, then wherever there was nothing I wrote on a sheet of A4 what would go in there, eg CV, Sim result or thought of a piece of evidence relevant to the unit and put that in to the unit section.

My portfolio doesn't look anywhere near as scary now, I have brought it to work and I can now look and say right I need a copy of CV to finish that bit off or I need to run a VAT return to put in there. I can take out the A4 note of whats needed as I gather the evidence and the portfolio has some structure instead of being a pile of paper and no idea!!

I hope that helps someone else out, because its certainly cleared the fog for me.
