Portfolio Assessment

I believe that portfolio assessment is valid to some degree, as it shows the individuals beliefs and offers insight into their attitudes, much as a resume does.  However, as with a resume I believe that assessment of an individual should not reside with one form of presentation.  Most jobs require interviews in addition to resumes, and I believe that portfolio based assessment should also include interviews.  To some degree a portfolio is much more sophisticated then a resume because it can include resume information, but also video clips and show the individuals ability to use technology.  Overall I believe that portfolio assessment is as valid, if not more so, then resume based assessment.
