Joining panelists from Nike, Ziba Design, and HUB, 52 presented to hundreds of the Portland creative scene offering advice and tips to make a better presentation of work when looking for employment.Key tips include:Make the portfolio part of a comprehensive presentation. Include 12-15 pieces of your best work, or work that tells a compelling story or overcame a challenge. Organize work by quality of the pieces best comes first and last. Don’t make the portfolio about the case or box or whatever it comes in make it about the work. Otherwise the case will be the thing that is remembered. Drive the presentation, don’t hand it over to the reviewer unless you have to. Don’t have too many loose pieces. Don’t show work you don’t like if you don’t like it why are you showing it?
