You can tag fellow classmates, friends, and colleagues on work you completed together. You can also ask professors, advisors, and managers to reflect on and document your experiences and work.
You can customize your URL and username to make your profile easy to find and include it on your resume, website, personal blog, business cards, and social media, such as LinkedIn and Twitter. Additionally, you can connect your social media accounts to your Portfolium account to quickly and easily connect with your friends and network, log in using those credentials, and share your Portfolium entries across your social media networks.
