About Us

Founded in 2007, our digital portfolios allow individuals to market themselves, answering the question “How do I stand out and have others take notice of me?” Additionally, our website provides institutions with valuable information that benefits multiple departments on campus that will not only save time and money; but will also increase your connectivity with past and present students.

As the leader in digital portfolio creation, we are constantly at work thinking up new ways to bring Distinct Portfolios to the next level and beyond!

What is Distinct Portfolios?

A digital portfolio by Distinct Portfolios allows individuals the ability to gain an advantage when competing for a position through the use of completely interactive digital portfolios. Even a well-formatted, text resume, printed on the best paper, lacks individuality and cannot convey personality or style. Through the use of completely interactive multi- media, we allow individuals to stand out from the crowd.

Empower Your Students and Help Them Secure a Job

Today’s job market is more competitive than any in recent memory. Discussions by regulators and legislators are focusing on how our higher education system must better prepare college graduates to compete in the job market and secure the jobs that will launch their careers. It takes more than the quality education they attain at your institution to separate them from other job applicants. Employers and recruiters pore over pages of bond, cotton and laser printer paper everyday in hopes of finding the perfect candidate. They know how to effectively scan electronic and paper documents to single out those resumes worthy of closer scrutiny, while the others are quickly moved to the recycle bin.

A digital portfolio by Distinct Portfolios allows individuals the ability to gain an advantage through the use of completely interactive digital portfolios by giving the employer or recruiter the opportunity to see beyond qualifications and skills inventories, to a three dimensional person who will fit seamlessly into their organization. In addition, our portfolios are able to be integrated through the numerous social media sites that many professionals utilize in their job search and self-marketing initiatives.

Assist Your Recruitment Initiatives

In today’s education market place, the student has never been more informed. One of the most important questions every applicant wants to know is “which school will better help me achieve my post-graduation goals”. Therefore, it is a necessity that a school conveys the importance of career/ job placement in the beginning of the decision making process for the student.

A traditional resume, no matter how strong, does not stand out and will not adequately communicate one’s uniqueness and value adding ability to potential employers. A successful job seeker is one who understands that selling yourself begins well before the personal interview.

By offering Distinct Portfolios to your students, you present a whole new way your institution cares about students and their success after graduation. An institution can build Distinct Portfolios into their curriculum or career services center; teaching their students how to interview, write a resume, and cover letter.
