HM Assessment and Portfolio Builder CD
and the Career Resource Center website
The
HM Assessment and Portfolio Builder is a personal assessment tool to assist students in preparing for the workplace. Students will build their portfolio by responding to questions in the modules
Personal, Interpersonal, Career, and Community, and by reflecting on their skills, attitudes, values and behaviors. The
Accomplishments Report will summarize the results of their responses, perfect for creating a résumé or preparing for interviews.
Equipped with their accomplishments report, students are invited to explore Houghton Mifflin's web-based Career Resource Center for more tips, exercises, articles and ideas to help them succeed on their journey from college to career.
The Bridge from College to Career lets students practice new skills in college that can be applied as they enter the job market.
Finding the Perfect Job helps students fine-tune their résumé writing and interviewing skills. And
Skills For Your Future provides strategies in problem solving and decision making to help students learn how to work with others and communicate on the job.
