I attended a job search seminar last year, and one of the topics we discussed was having a portfolio. I’m not going to go into the reasons for developing a portfolio; rather, I’m just going to list the items you would typically include:
- copies of your resume
- Letters of recommendation
- copy of high school/college diploma
- copies of other certificates
- high school/college transcript
- examples of work, which for me might include
- documentation
- printouts of GUI (graphical user interface)
- web pages
- ”best posts” from my blogs

Do you know what the best practice is regarding a photo on your resume?
Hi Peter,
I believe it depends on the type of job for which you're applying, but in general, you don't include a photo of yourself on your resume.
I think it's because a potential employer would be able to infer things from your picture about you that they do not want to know just yet (age, nationality, etc.).
If you're going for a job as an actor, on the other hand, I believe the picture is mandatory.
My $0.02. I encourage you to check with others, since they might have alternative perspectives.
