One very effective way to achieve career branding is though a print or online portfolio. This portfolio-development site helps job-seekers develop an online career portfolio using one of a wide variety of company-supplied templates. You can include accomplishments such as research papers, studies, blueprints, compositions, art, videos, music, and any other resources that provide evidence of claims made in your resume. Two levels of membership are available, as is a 21-day free trial.

Portfolios provide "a complete showcase of ... qualifications," according to the site, enabling the job-seeker to stand out above those who use only a resume.

Portfolios not only capture the attention of interviewers but demonstrate the user's comfort level with current technology.
