Beyond the Resume: Building a Career Portfolio That Stands Out

In today's competitive job market, a resume is no longer enough. Employers want to see proof of your skills in action—and that’s where a career portfolio comes in.

A strong portfolio showcases your best work: projects, case studies, presentations, writing samples, or even links to code repositories or creative designs.

It’s your personal brand in motion—a visual and practical extension of who you are as a professional.

Start with a simple site (like Notion, Wix, or GitHub Pages), and organize it by category or skill. Include context: What problem did you solve? What tools did you use? What were the results?

Pro tip: Add testimonials, metrics, and a short video intro to truly stand out.

Your resume lists what you’ve done. Your portfolio shows it.
