I’d be happy to help with any specific questions you have about your portfolio! Here are a few tips you might want to consider based on what many recruiters typically appreciate:
Showcase Real Projects: Include a few substantial projects that demonstrate your skills. Be sure to detail your role and the technologies used, and, if possible, provide links to the live projects or repositories.
Diversity of Skills: Feature a variety of projects that highlight different technologies and programming languages you’ve worked with. This shows versatility.
Clear Structure: Make sure your portfolio is well-organized and easy to navigate. Use clear headings and a consistent layout.
About Me Section: Include a brief introduction about yourself, your experience, and what you’re passionate about in software development. This gives a personal touch.
Contact Information: Ensure it’s easy for recruiters to reach out to you. Include a contact form or your professional email.
Technical Documentation: If applicable, provide documentation for your projects. This shows your attention to detail and understanding of best practices.
Blog or Write-up: If you can, consider writing about your projects or experiences in tech. This can demonstrate your communication skills and thought processes.
I hope these tips help you get started! Best of luck with your portfolio, and I look forward to seeing how it turns out. If you need any more specific advice or feedback, feel free to reach out!
