Q Our discussion will extend your learning and practice of the information in the lesson about creating a career portfolio and writing targeted cover letters and thank-you letters. We will begin with some self-reflection on making the most of your own e-portfolio and then talk about best practices for effective cover letters and thank-you letters. Part 1: Take a moment to reflect on the many projects, certifications, courses, and teams you have been a part of. Do you have documentation of these accomplishments? The portfolio (your LinkedIn profile) is your chance to show off a comprehensive collection of these highlights from your life experiences. What documents from your life's accomplishments could you add to your LinkedIn profile page? Part 2: After you have addressed Part 1, your second post should answer these two questions. • Question 1: In regard to cover letters, there is flexibility in style, length, and composition but what elements do you think are most important to include and why? • Question 2: It is highly recommended that you send an e-mail or handwritten thank-you letter after an interview. Why is this recommended, and what are the benefits resulting from this action?
