Improving your portfolio:
- Review periodically to determine if it needs updating; remove and/or replace outdated or irrelevant samples.
- Exclude samples that are of poor quality viewing (on-line or print); for paper samples: avoid photocopies, low-res, & third-generation scans.
- When researching a company prior to the interview, try customizing to best match the job description.
- When retaining or obtaining samples from present or previous projects, be aware of the issues of confidentiality & ownership. When in doubt, ask for permission.
