How Do I Build A Portfolio As A Tech Professional? by SideHustle: 8:00am On Apr 21, 2023 |
Building a portfolio is an essential step for any tech professional who wants to showcase their skills and experience to potential employers or clients. A portfolio is a visual representation of your work and can be an effective way to differentiate yourself from other candidates in a competitive job market. Here are some tips on how to build a portfolio as a tech professional: 1. Determine your focus: Before you start building your portfolio, decide on what type of projects you want to showcase. This will depend on your area of expertise and the type of job you're seeking. You can include projects you’ve worked on in school, personal projects or even freelance projects. 2. Choose the right platform: There are many platforms available for hosting your portfolio. Some popular options include GitHub, Behance, and Dribbble. You can also create your own website using platforms such as Wix, WordPress or Squarespace. Make sure the platform you choose is appropriate for your type of work and has the features you need. 3. Include a variety of projects: Make sure your portfolio showcases a variety of projects that demonstrate your range of skills. This can include projects you've worked on in a team, individual projects, and even projects you’ve completed outside of work or school. 4. Highlight your contributions: Be sure to clearly explain your role in each project and highlight your contributions. Employers want to know what skills you used and how they can benefit from hiring you. 5. Keep it up to date: Your portfolio is a reflection of your work and skills, so make sure you keep it up to date. Add new projects as you complete them and remove outdated ones. This will show potential employers that you’re always learning and working on new things. In conclusion, building a portfolio as a tech professional is an important step in advancing your career. By following these tips, you can create a visually appealing and informative portfolio that showcases your skills and experience. Remember to keep it up to date and tailor it to your desired job or career path. 14 Likes |

In case you are thinking of the easiest site for hosting your web application for free. Use glitch and thank me later. The only thing I know you can't host on glitch is MySQL. You need to use external hosting for that. I've done almost anything you can imagine with glitch for years now. You can connect your GitHub repository and export from git to glitch and it will go live in seconds. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Don't waste your time building todo apps, build something you can sell or make money from even before you get a job. Most of the times, people make the mistake of building portfolio's solely for job hunting. A portfolio should be like your day to day personal ID card, who knows ? That tiny app you built could get acquired by one big company, never stop building ! 13 Likes |
