Prepare a portfolio interview with a 15-minute structure
A portfolio interview is not a live reading of your website. It is a chance to show how you prioritize information, communicate decisions and reflect on your work.
A 15-minute structure
- 1 minute: career context and the types of problems you solve well.
- 5 minutes: your main case study: problem, role, decisions and outcome.
- 5 minutes: a second case study showing a different skill range.
- 2 minutes: lessons and what you want to develop next.
- 2 minutes: transition into questions.
Prepare for difficult questions
Be ready to discuss conflict, rejected directions, incomplete data, changing deadlines and one decision you would not repeat.
