Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Your portfolio represents the skills you have so you want to present your first and foremost skill first. Are you a writer? If so, you would put one of your best pieces first.

Step2

You want to have somewhere to put all your credits and awards or certificates you have achieved in your area of expertise. These look good and even better when you can display them in an organized way.

Step3

Have all your work after that. This includes completed samples of work you have previously done. Put them in order by date.

Step4

Have your own ideas next. You may have a sample of something you have been working on or dreaming up and haven't showed anyone. Include any of these in your portfolio because you never know when the right opportunity may appear for you to show your own ideas.

Tips & Warnings

When you finish some work, try to add it to your portfolio right after. This way you don't risk misplacing it or ending up with a pile of work that you'll have to sort through in order to place it in your portfolio.
