Professional Portfolio: A Smart Job Seeker’s Strategy
Tips, tricks and answers to your objections
In a tough job market, you need to be even more conscious of how you present yourself in a job interview. Your chances of getting a job offer hinge on many factors in addition to your skills and credentials.
One of them is whether you were memorable — whether your interviewer thinks of you first when going over their impressions from a round of interviews.
One of the best ways to be memorable is to have a professional portfolio. In a job interview, you can use it to:
✔️ supplement your answers
✔️ demonstrate your skills
✔️ highlight your maturity as a professional
✔️ be remembered as different from other candidates
There is no downside to having a portfolio, and many benefits. Even showing one artifact during an interview can make a big impression.
