Fortune Institute of International BusinessPlacement Readiness Programme
Career Preparedness Programme · E-Portfolio Vetting

Can your portfolio survive an interview?

Check the portfolio you have now. Repair weak evidence. Remove risky claims. Leave with a version you can defend.

Today’s test

We are vetting the evidence—not admiring the slides

Keep your e-portfolio, CV and LinkedIn profile open. Tick only what is clearly visible and true now.

01

Evaluate

Begin with what a recruiter can verify

The six-second test

Show only your opening slide to a partner. Can they identify your professional direction, strongest capability and one proof point?

Tick a box only when the statement is clearly true in your current portfolio. Each tick = 1 point.
