look inside the book

Table of contents

Where does the portfolio originate from? What was the original idea of it? And why is a portfolio required in every hiring process for design roles these days?

01

The idea behind a portfolio

Designers rarely finish their portfolios. Picking the right tool won’t magically do everything for you, but may speed up the process significantly and remove a lot of pain. How to choose the best one?

02

Tools and platforms overview

Crafting an effective portfolio is 
a cornerstone of a designer’s career. This chapter delves into the fundamentals of creating a portfolio and outlining essential components for showcasing your projects and skills. We’ll explore key factors such as usability, tone, target audience, and project selection.

03

Portfolio’s foundations

Well-crafted case studies are both the most important and the most challenging element of any portfolio. Recruiters and design leads will decide whether to invite you for an interview based on it, as it allows them to preliminarily assess how you work. In this chapter, we'll discuss what a well-written case study should look like and what mistakes to avoid.

04

Framing a story

What is the first thing a recruiter sees when you apply for a job? How much time does one spend on glancing at your profile? Why is it crucial to ensure your resume is flawless and doesn't take your chances of being hired away?

05

Resume

While a portfolio is decent at making you stand out from the crowd by showcasing your skills and previous experience, the best way to grab the recruiter’s attention and demonstrate your deep interest in a particular role and ideas for future development is a cover letter. Let’s learn how to write a compelling one.

06

Cover letter

Can you prepare for each stage of the process? Definitely! In this chapter you’ll find fifteen questions that you may hear during a technical interview with a design lead. We also included a few ideas on how to respond to them. Get prepared well!

07

Preparing for an interview

What do you show in your portfolio if you have zero experience? Is there some magical place where you can get your hands dirty? What do you do if you are unemployed and the first project you did during the bootcamp or at the university 
is not enough?

08

Gaining experience

We’ll say goodbye with the last chapter that will help you memorize every essential bit of this book. Yes, we included a TL;DR.

09

TL;DR

Take an action, improve your portfolio and don't forget any important bit with this checklist!
