Hey there, rebel!

Ever heard the old-school advice, "You need a good resume?" Yeah, that's... kinda outdated.

Welcome to the age of the Impact Portfolio.

Have you ever met someone who just stands out? I want to tell you about my friend, Swetha.

She was someone who made an IMPACT. And she stood out.

In the middle of our high school chaos, Swetha wasn't just focused on grades and weekend plans. She was paving her own path.

By the age of 18, she landed her first paid internship. And you know what's even cooler? She didn't wait around for opportunities. She created them.

Swetha launched Melodies for Math – a TikTok channel where she combined her passion for music with math. Instead of just stating she was good at math on a resume, she showed it, sang it, and made it fun!

AND Swetha went a step further… She started IMPACTING real students by teaching them math in a different way, resulting in better grades

Her secret? She focused on IMPACT, over finishing classes and getting good grades.

And guess what? Being in high school, you're in prime position to do the same and get ahead of the game.

And you can do it too for real businesses.

So, What's an Impact Portfolio?

Picture this: instead of a boring sheet listing what you did, imagine a vibrant showcase of *how you crushed it*.

It's more than just a piece of paper; it's your journey, your grind, your story. It's about the projects you've rocked, the skills you've mastered, and the difference you've made.

This is what your traditional resume looks like, no?

How many people do you know who couldn’t get jobs with a resume like this? I know plenty…

Compare that with your IMPACT PORTFOLIO!

Pay close attention to the MEASURABLE results that Jackie can show as a result of making impacts on real businesses, starting in high school.

Old School Resumes? Here's the Tea:

Traditional resumes? Pretty limiting. They miss out on the magic - the IMPACTS you’ve made.

By the time you hand it over, half of it feels like yesterday’s news.

Beyond that — neither colleges or employers really know how to compare YOU to anyone else in their stack if you haven’t made an impact. Your resume literally gets lost in the noise.

Here’s the thing — Impact Portfolios take time to build. And they take a shift in thinking. To build a powerful impact portfolio, you can’t settle for just doing things the same way everyone else does. It takes courage — you have to be courageous enough to apply your skills to the real world.

Why Impact Portfolios Are the Real MVP:

With an Impact Portfolio:

Show, Don't Tell: It's not just "I did a course." It's "Look at this project I did as a result of d’Skills I learned AND look at how it impacted a real business which resulted in XYZ outcomes.”
Impact Over Everything: It's not just where you worked; it's the *magic* you brought.
Diverse Hustles: Every gig, every project, every late-night grind—it all counts.

Peeking Into the Future:

News flash: The world's changing. Companies aren't just looking at degrees and grades anymore.

They want to see the real deal—what you've done, how you think, and the impact you bring. Enter: Impact Portfolios. They're not just the future; they're the *now*.
