- If your presentation binder is old and worn, buy a new one. Look for an attractive, professional one that will be durable, flexible and easy to carry.
- Research the types of materials produced by the employer. Ask in the phone interview what types of pieces they would like to see.
- Customize your portfolio to the organization’s needs and the job description.
- Make sure your portfolio contents are fresh, bright and interesting with no torn or spotted pieces.
- Organize your pieces by type or by employer, whichever seems most logical for your presentation.
- Put your award winners, if any, up front.
- If your work is online, do screen captures and print them. Explain what your role was and the outcome.
- Inquire ahead if you want the option of showing your portfolio in presentation slides or online, to make sure the employer’s office is equipped, particularly if you are interviewing with a group. Test your electronic presentation at home before arriving for the interview. Technical glitches can be spoilers.
- Time your presentation to no more than 10-15 minutes. Practice by showing it to a friend or family member.
- Talk about your work as you show it, relating how it fit into the business plan, what your role was and what the results were.
- Highlight any comprehensive projects you had and how you managed them.
