Portfolios may appear impressive but hiring managers typically spend minimal time reviewing them. This quick evaluation often doesn’t reflect the depth of personal experiences, which include struggles and lessons learned. Portfolios primarily focus on demonstrating skills and processes. In the design field, portfolios evolve continually, reflecting personal identity and growth. However, they tend to overlook the unique journeys and challenges that define an individual, ultimately failing to showcase the complete story behind a candidate's professional persona.
Attention is the modern currency. Your portfolio may look great on the surface, but is it enough to truly get you noticed?
Portfolios serve a purpose - they help hiring managers check the boxes: skills, process, and outcomes. But they only tell one part of the story.
What they rarely capture is your personal journey - the struggles, setbacks, and lessons that shape who you are.
While portfolios aim to impress, your battle scars tell the real story.
