Your portfolio often gets you the interview and the job. There’s a lot out there about fixing your resume or how to talk to recruiters, but it’s harder to find information about what kind of samples you should be showcasing.

Some of the people at Steyer who dedicate their days to reviewing freelancers’ samples spent 90 minutes sharing about the portfolios they love and what scares them off.

Process note: This session is part of a series of monthly meetups that Steyer hosts. Some of these meetups are limited to Steyer employees only; some are open to the public. The idea is simply to spend a bit of time together exchanging stories and ideas—to get to know one another better and to learn from one another.
