Prepare your portfolio well in advance

Portfolio is a folder that contains and summarises all the evidence to verify your self-assessment during the interviews

Should be comprehensive enough to contain all required evidence, but not excessive that interview panelists may face difficulty in finding said evidence

Keep it neat and organised

Reduce unnecessary clutter

Know where to find each piece of evidence during the interview

*Note: If the interviewers cannot verify your evidence, points cannot be awarded*

Editor's suggestion: Use of a customised portfolio folder is optional and pricey but can make you stand out amongst other candidates
