Why is a portfolio important for IT/Engineering?
A portfolio lets you demonstrate your skills and projects beyond your resume. Here's how to create one that impresses:

Key Elements

• Code samples (for developers)
  
• Certificates, awards, and recognitions
  

Tips:

• Use a personal website (GitHub Pages, WordPress) or PDF

• Include testimonials if available
  

Sample Portfolio Structure:

• Introduction
