How to Design a Portfolio Cover Page
You may have perfected the art of writing resumes and cover letters, but for some job openings, you’ll also be required to submit a portfolio of work as part of your application. This is primarily for jobs in the creative industries.
A portfolio is usually a digital file that gives an employer insight into your abilities through past projects. These may have been completed:
- In previous employment
- As part of a college degree
- As a work placement
- During an internship
- As a self-led side project
The problem is that recruiters and HR managers see a high number of applications for any single vacancy – and they don’t always have time to properly look through them all.
This means your portfolio has to grab their attention. For this, you need to design an eye-catching portfolio cover page.
