I'm trying to prepare for what is basically the job interview of a lifetime. A friend of mine recommended bringing a reference portfolio to the interview, but now I can't reach her to find out more about what exactly is in that? Can you help??? Also, any other recommendations about what type of collateral to bring to a senior level interview would be helpful. Thanks!

I'm going to say it's just a fancy way of saying to bring a good number of typed references from teachers, supervisors, managers, co-workers, etc. Then have all of them together in a portfolio and a cover page with all of your information... Do a search for reference letters first then you can give your reference writers a better idea of what you are asking them to do for you. Some employers/teachers never type them while others are pros at it...

Simply put, it's having positive recommendations from anyone who can speak about the quality of your work. It could include current or former bosses, co-workers, teachers, etc. And it could even include anything positive a customer had said about your work.
For instance, if you resolved a customer problem and received a thank you note from that person, you could use that as a reference to demonstrate your doing good work.
