Abstract. The paper presents the problem of developing and using the electronic portfolio
of the future pedagogue from the point of view of its influence on his/her successful
employment. It is proved the relevance of its being used for correct self-advertising by future
professionals of pedagogical profile at the modern labour market that contributes to increasing
the competitiveness and motivation for employment in the speciality. It is determined that
the e-portfolio can serve as an instrument for measuring the quality of training a future
specialist by means of his/her quantitative evaluation (participation in research work,
scientific and practical conferences of various levels, competitions on subjects, contests of
scientific papers and works, public life at higher educational institutions, towns and cities;
printed and electronic publications, etc.) and high-quality (fellow students’ and lecturers’
reviews, letters of recommendation, letters of commendation, references of supervisors of
practice and administration of the educational institution, rating of the success of the training,
etc.) results of his/her activities. It is shown that for successful employment of the graduates
the most effective is the so-called integrated e-portfolio that is the set of different blocks, such
as general information about the student; portrait of a pedagogue; achievements; social
activities; evaluation and comments. It is accentuated that the student’s e-portfolio makes it
possible the following: introducing the information on participation in research-scientific
work, learning and upbringing activities of the university; visualising the submitted
information; reflecting the examples of his/her own activities, illustrating the process of
performing this or that work; monitoring the results of the work performed.
