Portfolio Coaching

The only way to get a callback is to make sure you are speaking to your target audience: hiring manager

I'll help customize your portfolio to resonate with hiring managers like myself. We'll refine it iteratively to increase your chances of passing the initial review hurdle. The competition is fierce. Is your portfolio helping or hurting you?

Fixing your portfolio is hard work, but it will serve you well. A good portfolio will set you apart from the crowd, accelerate the speed of your interview process, increase the seniority at which you are hired and increase your starting salary and equity grant. The best portfolios get people through the door at great companies.

Session breakdown

Session 1

Part 1: Opportunity for me to get to know you, your experiences, your body of work and the next role you want to land. I want to understand if your existing body of work supports your ambitions.

Part 2: Live portfolio evaluation. I’ll react to your portfolio in real time, as a hiring manager would. I will provide a written document for you of my evaluation that contains immediately actionable feedback.

Session 2

After I have reviewed your case studies, we'll discuss how to ensure they tell a compelling story that signals to hiring managers that you can solve design problems.

Session 3 & 4 - Progress reviews

I’ll help you tailor your portfolio to target the roles you’re applying to specifically. We’ll review the job description closely to ensure you include samples that address the application, company, space and seniority requirements.
