MyShowcase Workshop – Learn how to start your Online Skills Portfolio

Please see below for details of a workshop we are offering to all students on
Tuesday 26th April at 11am.    IT Suites,  2.08 / 2.09 / 2.10

To land your dream job, you’ll have to be able to show evidence to an employer that you’ve developed expertise in the skills areas that make you an Early Career Professional, as well as having a good degree.  The best advice is to send out customised CVs rather than the same one each time.   So how do you do this when you’re short of time?

The answer is MyShowcase, the Faculty of Business and Law’s chosen online skills portfolio system.   MyShowcase enables you to upload all your evidence of skill and qualifications safely, curate and organise your material, and pull it quickly into a professional-looking online CV, which a prospective employer can view simply by clicking on the URL in an email. 

This one hour workshop session includes an introduction to MyShowcase from Mel Powell, Acting Associate Head of Employability, and a hands-on workshop session in which Graduate Employability Interns Molly McConville and Clara Andres will help you through a worksheet giving you all the basic skills needed.


By the end of the session, you will be able to:


1.            Set up a MyShowcase account

2.            Upload content to it

3.            Curate your content using tags and skills frameworks

4.            Showcase the content in an online CV or other showcase format

5.            Send the showcase for review by a prospective employer

6.            See how your skills are progressing on the Early Career Professional framework


This is a great opportunity for those of you looking to apply for jobs in the near future.
