2. Control Click to download a template. Use the template below to create the cover
sheet of your career portfolio:

a. Design a cover sheet that includes a photograph. If you don’t have access to a digital camera or scanner,
you can insert any other reasonable photograph.
b. Include a biographical summary (your name, age, and where you live). The biographical summary can be
written in the form of a brief introductory letter. Remember that all of your work must be done using a word
processor.

c. Write a vision statement that includes a phrase or sentence that captures who you are and what your
primary values and goals involve as well as what you will strive for in the future. Here are some examples: “In
everything I do, I will do my best”; “I always look for challenges”; “I work best when I work with others.” Use
your imagination and creativity. Include this vision statement on your cover sheet.
