A Portfolio That Gets You Hired: how to build a design portfolio that brings clients

A portfolio is not an album of everything you’ve ever made: it’s a sales tool. A Portfolio That Gets You Hired shows, from the hiring side, how to choose the right projects, tell the story behind each one and turn visits into clients.

What you will learn

  • What hiring managers look for in the first few minutes
  • Defining your focus and positioning statement
  • Curation with 4 filters: what stays and what goes
  • The 6-part case study
  • Mockups, photos of printed work and image specs
  • Where to publish: your own site, Behance, Dribbble and PDF
  • The structure of a portfolio website that converts
  • Weekly promotion and a 6-month refresh routine

Who it is for

Graphic designers, web designers and illustrators, beginners or experienced, who want to be remembered by the right clients.

What changes for you

  • Positioning: be remembered for the projects you want to do.
  • Perceived value: case studies that justify higher fees.
  • More opportunities: a portfolio that gets seen every week.
