Pardon me, but portfolio and collateral are NOT the sole province of
contractors or consultants (whatever difference there is between the two).
I have been an FTE for more than seven years in TW and over 12 in marketing,
while doing occasional contracting on the side. I have one hell of a
portfolio! Never gotten a full-time or contracting position without one.

Forgive me for not using my real name, Tony, but I can help here.
You're asking about being a "consultant," but then you're asking about a
portfolio and collateral materials, which are more the tools of contractors.
Just so we agree, there is a difference between the two.
