RE: job interview question: ethical issues about portfolio

>there may be another (additional) ethical issue about portfolio.



**Please excuse my post, if this has been said previously.**

I have never had a position where I did not use examples from my work files
even if they were copyrighted, confidential or proprietary. I even have some
stuff that either has a patent pending or a patent assigned and some
intellectual property stuff.  

My solution is to simply edit everything.  I removed all the screen
captures, included pages out of sequence, only included a sample of a page
or chapter or paragraph, etc.  I almost always showed my employer how I was
going to use the document before hand (although I did have some pieces from
a job where I quit and never had a chance to show anyone; but I used to same
process to include them) and I never had anyone say that I couldn't include
it.

Just my two cents,

Bonita
