The sustainability industry revealed a significant CO2 emission from portfolios, prompting a reevaluation of their design. Standards have shifted, and hiring managers expect detailed portfolios rather than ones hindered by NDAs. Empty portfolios lead to rejections, as past experiences show the importance of showcasing skills. In 2023, merely teasing skills was sufficient, but currently, designers face stiff competition requiring comprehensive presentations of their capabilities. Providing detailed information is crucial to stand out in the competitive landscape of design professionals.
Hiring managers don't care about your NDAs. Empty portfolios will immediately send you to the rejection line. How did I know? I made this exact mistake with my initial applications a month prior.
Teasing worked in 2023 where surface-level skills are good enough to get you an interview, because back then UI-weak designers were aplenty. Now, you have extremely competent designers flanking you with both competencies.
