March 5, 2010, Newsletter Issue #13: Your Civil Engineering Portfolio

Tip of the Week

When searching for civil engineer jobs, you must be prepared with a great resume and portfolio. Your portfolio should have begun taking shape while you were in school, keeping record of projects you've participated in and completed. If you have kept your portfolio updated thus far, it shouldn't be too difficult to get it ready for your potential employers to see.

The contents of the portfolio should be your resume, a brief table of contents that lists the projects contained in the portfolio, as well as a few sentences explaining each of the projects listed.

Don't skimp on the details. Explain your precise role and contribution to each project, including photos of the work you've done. Discuss your specific responsibilities as well your role from idea to execution.
