The class then covers the need for professional functional-style resumes created as a electronic document specific to the job to which they are applying.

Also, the need for a portfolio is demonstrated. In this case a �portfolio� means any additional pieces of information that can help sell your skills.

Examples include:

A clean presentable resume (and extra copies)
Cover letter(s) addressed to the individual(s) who will be accepting applications
A list of references
A salary history page and/or a salary requirement page
Letters of recommendation
Any relevant certificates or awards�something to demonstrate you have extra training or that you do more than what is required.

The idea behind this strategy is: do whatever it takes to help the employer employ you.
