Overview

We are going to look at employment credential, part of the carrier administration lecture. What are employment credentials? These are qualification, achievement, personal quality or aspect of a person`s background used to indicate a person`s suitability for employment. It can also be a document like a diploma or a good work sample so later we will talk about many credentials. For now, we look at self-declared credential, it`s a credential that has not been verified yet. Another good employment credential can be a work sample, which is some product of one’s performance intended to show his/her capacity especially as employment credential. I need to that in designer`s world, it`s often people use someone`s work samples. It makes sense to check whether this person really did this work or not.

Professional portfolios is organized presentations of those individual credentials that demonstrate his/her professional achievements and capacities and usually professional portfolios are created for some particular job so someone can take or keep this portfolio just in case put in all the works but for a particular employment it, it makes sense to create specialized portfolio. Especially if this employment is very new because working with portfolios takes time and effort and technically time is money so it can be expensive too.

There are many types of portfolios, for instance working portfolio is the portfolio of work which you already are doing, for me, my working portfolio is wiki side. If someone asks me what I am doing right now, I will direct them to the wiki pages and view my contributions.

Another type of portfolio is showcase and usually it`s good in both demonstration of ones` abilities and a platform for self-expression. Designers very often use showcase portfolio. An electronic or digital form of showcase portfolio is called electronic portfolio or e-portfolio, digital portfolio, line portfolio. You can name them. Credential portfolio. This is a more strict type of portfolio. It provides it`s viewers with ones’ credentials in one place. So if someone say`s in your resume I have this certificate or this diploma, someone can go there and take a look at this with the details for this certificate. Credential, some credentials are self-declared, some credentials are discovered during their screening, so let`s say your good performance at the interview can be a credential itself and this is assessed by your employer. But in some cases third party credentials come into the play. Third party credentials are credentials issued by a third party, not your employer but someone else. Some of them are government regulator, employment organizations, or work permit or criminal records. For some jobs, criminal records are very important.

Some credentials are professional credentials; professional credential is employment credential that specifically refers to one’s professional capacity. Let`s start with the professional license, if you want to be a teacher in a public school in the United States or in Virginia, you most likely need to have a professional license which you are given by a specified government body. They will assess your education, your special classes and they will issue you with a professional license. Trade certificates are a little bit different, personally I am PMP certified, PMP stands for project management professional and this credential is issued by project management institute incorporated its headquarters are located in Pennsylvania. So they assessed my education, I passed their exam, they check my professional experience ant they issued this certificate. Work experience itself can be a professional credential as well as work test, or work sample test or work simulation, professional related performance, professional commendation and client feedback in some cases professional association membership. If you are a psychologist, make effort to be part of an American Psychology Association (APA).

Because of many credentials, many employers are looking for some directory of credentials, the most popular directory is resume. This is any document a person uses to present his/her achievements and capacities in the industry of work force services. Resume usually presents credentials applicable to a particular employment. Here, I need to say that your resume is not a story of your life. It is basically a summary of what you did in your previous life. Your credentials but only those credentials which are applicable to an employment which you are looking for.

Another example it could be a professional bio, it`s a descriptive account of a person`s professional history, it could be a list of professional recognitions, or education credentials. It could be a list of worked projects, list of key accomplishments. Once again, every of these directories can be both. It can list everything you have, maybe for your own reference like a master resume or a master bio. At the same time, it could be more specified to your employment where for instance from the list of all your professional recognitions or all worked projects you just choose those which are applicable to a particular employment which you are looking for. With this, we are ready to end this lecture with work force service providers.
