Incomplete portfolio. One of the most common mistakes is not including enough examples of your work or not describing your projects in enough detail. Potential employers or clients want to see a comprehensive and diverse collection of your work.
Lack of clear structure. Your portfolio should have clear categories in which your work will be organized. If your portfolio lacks a clear structure, it can confuse visitors, and they may leave without seeing what you wanted to show.
Insufficient information about projects. Although your work may look beautiful, if you don’t describe the details of your work and the process of its creation, employers or clients may not see your potential.
Use of low-quality images. The visual aspect of your portfolio should be an important component. Using low-quality images or photos can decrease your chances of successfully passing the selection process.
Unjustified choice of work to include in the portfolio. Some works may be good but not suitable for inclusion in the portfolio. Choose works that best reflect your skills and experience.
Poorly thought-out portfolio design. The portfolio should be professionally designed and have a pleasant appearance. Don’t forget that your portfolio should attract attention.
Lack of links to real projects. If you have worked on projects that can be viewed online, include links to these projects. This can help convince employers or clients of your skills and experience.
