Portfolio

A portfolio is a curated collection of your work samples — projects, designs, writing, code or case studies — that shows employers what you can do, not just what you say you can do.

What it means

Proof, not promises

Your CV says you designed a booking app or wrote a research report; a portfolio lets the reader see it. Portfolios are standard in design, architecture, photography, writing, marketing and software, and increasingly useful elsewhere. Common forms are a personal website, a PDF, a GitHub profile, or a profile on a platform such as Behance or Dribbble. A strong portfolio is selective:

  • Five to ten of your best, most relevant pieces.
  • For each one: the problem, your role, what you did and the result.
  • Clear credit when work was done in a team.
Why it matters

Seeing is believing

For creative and technical roles, many employers decide whom to interview by looking at work samples first. Even where it isn't required, one or two well-chosen examples can lift an application above others with similar CVs. Make the link easy to find — near your contact details — and make sure it opens without a login. Keep it current, and remove anything confidential or that a former employer wouldn't want shared.

How Twin CV helps

Projects with links and media

In Twin CV's Projects section each project can have a live link, a reference link and a screenshot; Extras can carry an image, video or document attachment. Add your portfolio site under social links in your profile. Your public twin page then gives visitors your CV and a chat in one place — see the personal career page entry.

FAQ

Questions about portfolios

A visitor asks a question at a help desk and the twin robot answers it
Do I need a portfolio if I'm not in a creative field?

Not usually, but it can help. An analyst can share a sample report, a teacher a lesson plan, an engineer a project write-up — anything that shows how you work.

Should my portfolio be a PDF or a website?

A website is easier to share and update; a PDF is handy when an application asks for an attachment. Many people keep both.
