UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION (UVP) &
PERSONAL SYMBOL
• “Write a clear, compelling statement about what you’re capable of doing/achieving”
For re-purposing your UVP to the E-portfolio, I recommend a couple of things:
1. Use this statement to highlight your abilities not your experiences or skills (there is another
section for that).
2. Include a brief description of your personal symbol that accentuates your personality,
identity, and uniqueness in a visual way
3. Ensure that your UVP & personal symbol speaks to your intended audience
TRANSFERABLE SKILLS

• At least 4 should be identified and evidenced produced

storytelling aspect of Assignment 3 as a start!)
• Add visuals to make the section appealing
