Programmer’s Portfolio

I have been editing this post for two days now. I was going to write more about this, but I didn’t have anything else than obvious things to say.

Seeing who you are and what have you done should be simple. If you really want to get a job from software industry you should have a proper portfolio.

Check out my portfolio. The style has always been the same simple one, I have just added more content. It contains just text and links. I’m sure it was one of the reasons why I got a job.

In my portfolio I have always tried to showcase how much I have improved since last project or year. Being professional programmer requires learning new things all the time, people who can’t do that should think about changing their career. Showing how much you have improved is important as it will show two things :

• You are able to learn and you want to learn.
• One of the most important things, it tells that you are motivated!

So what I recommend you to do when creating portfolio :

• Do not bloat it with screenshots, try to keep those behind the links.
  • Keep it as simple as possible.
• When adding content in there remember the links to project pages.
• Keep it easily accessible
  • For example like I did, a web page.

That’s it for my part. If you have some experiences of your own, please share them.
