Thoughts on an Editing Portfolio

[schu1663]

I'm currently a student in a technical communication program and was
recently thinking about portfolios. Specifically, I was wondering what kind
of things one might include when trying to create a portfolio to show off
editing skills. At first, I was thinking that I would need to include some
"before-and-after" documents, but then I came to the conclusion that
anything I have in the portfolio will show off editing skills. I'm just
curious if anyone who works in the field agrees with this or not. If
applying for a technical editing job, would I need "before-and-after" type
documents, or would I simply be able to include documents that I have
designed and edited?
