The purpose of a personal profile is to showcase your best work to an employer or higher education, this shows them what skills and talents you have in a visual and practical way. A personal profile should include class work, artisitic pieces, photographs and any other work which fits the job/course. The media profile should be suitable for the course or job you are applying for and show how you would fit the role best.  A portfolio assessment demonstrates learning over the course of time rather than what a student knows a particular day.This portfolio will be used along side your CV to help the employer decide if you are a good canditate. A CV is another form of personal profile often used when applying for jobs, this is used to showcase your achievements. A CV should include past achievements and experience, grades achieved, any out of school activities. It is important to showcase your work to perpective employer or higher education as they will need to see your capabilties.

For university interviews I was asked to provide a portfolio, this was to show them my capabilities and work i have previously done, they asked for either digital or physical portfolio. A digital portfolio is advantageous as it can be taken anywhere with ease, this is becuase it is online and so can be access from anywhere online. The easy access of an online/digital portfolio is also that you can edit it wherever so if you have to make changes you can. A disadvantge of this is that you may not be able to use content which was hand done, such as physical photography or art work, this can be scanned it but may loose effect or quaility when doing so. This is a disadvantage as you may not be able to include alot of your work and so the employer or university cannot see your full potential. Another advantage for a digital portfolio is that it can include video work, this is important if going for a film job or even a university interview as it can show your full length of work.
