Building a Winning Resume and Portfolio of Evidence

Your resume is often the first impression an employer will have of you, so make it count. As a young graduate in Ghana, it’s important to keep your resume clear, concise, and tailored to the job you are applying for. Highlight your education, relevant skills, internships, and achievements that show you can make a real contribution.

Keep the format professional and easy to read. Alongside your resume, create a portfolio of evidence this can include projects, reports, designs, or any work from your studies or internships or vacation work. A strong portfolio doesn’t just tell employers what you know it shows what you can do – add a link for prospective employers to have easy access to your portfolio of evidence. Together, a well-crafted resume and portfolio can help you stand out in a competitive job market and increase your chances of landing that first opportunity.
