These forums have emerged as ways people convey a unified picture of who they are and what they have accomplished.\u00a0Creating a resume, CV, or portfolio is a continuous process, and periodically needs to be updated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Portfolios<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the digital age it is also increasingly common and expected for people to create websites where they share their work.\u00a0UBC Arts has recently supported students in developing <a href=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.arts.ubc.ca\">eportfolios<\/a>. There are many resources that are available to help students who want to craft an online portfolio of their work, and I encourage students to use this tool to help think about who you are as a scholar and to present your audience with an overview of the kind of projects and learning you engaged with at UBC. UBC Sociology also offers <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/portfolioworkshop\/\">workshops<\/a> on career planning and portfolios and students should watch for these and take advantage of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CVs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CVs or Curriculum vitae are an academic resume.
