Write a resume

System: ePortfolio

ePortfolio comes packaged with a resume function. It provides you with prompts to help you develop professional career portfolios. Each section (e.g. Employment history, Publications) can be individually added to pages to help you customise your portfolios. You do not need to fill in every section of the resume function to display completed sections.

This user guide will give you a brief overview of the information you can include in the ePortfolio resume sections.

Note: All information in your resume is private until you share it via a page.

By default, you will be brought to the Introduction section where you can write a cover letter and update personal information you want to include. Some personal information such as your phone number or email address will need to be filled out under Profile.

Please note that you cannot change your name in ePortfolio. As your ePortfolio account is linked to your University ID, you can only change vital information such as your name via student administration.
