▎VIDEO OVERVIEW
A recruiter gives your portfolio about 30 seconds before deciding whether to keep going, and most designers lose them before they ever see the work. After 8 years designing in big tech and sitting on hiring panels, these are the three things I see go wrong most often, and you can fix all of them this weekend.
In this video, I cover what gets judged in the first three seconds above the fold, why a generic headline loses most designers, putting your work above the fold so recruiters don't have to hunt for it, choosing projects that match the job description, why AI prototyping and vibe coding experiments count as portfolio projects, turning long case studies into a showcase covering the product, the problem and the outcome, and using Claude to shorten what you've already written without making up numbers.
