Other considerations for a Portfolio: 1) Document as you go 2) Tailor your portfolio to your audience and field 3) You can include ANY experience; internships, co-ops, entry level jobs, even undergrad/grad research. 4) If you show up at an interview, if possible, bring copies of your portfolio with the intention of leaving a copy.

Thank you Alex, I have been working on my Portfolio since the past few days but I am coming up with new ideas and layouts daily and I'm not really sure what should and what should not be added in the portfolio, so if you have a sample portfolio or if you know anyone who has one, can you please share? It will be very helpful. (Preferably any engineering portfolio except Computer/IT)

[@alexisidro]

I share a sample throughout the video, Gaurav! Other than the format, it's about having simple descriptions and explanations.

Hello Alex, im studying in my junior year in Mechanical Engineering and wanted to ask if the projects i did are enough in my portfolio as i dont have any work experience yet and im applying for internships

[@alexisidro]

They will work yes. Make sure you focus on the soft skills you're developing as well for those projects, software you learned, or obstacles you encountered when working with different people and engineers. Also, consider doing undergraduate research: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5a9nnmrfNykZtU

What if I don't have visuals for my portfolio?

i want to create a portfolio to increase my chances of getting accepted at a university. I want to do mechanical engineering what do u think would be good material to add to my portfolio. Your videos are very helpful aswell so thankyou. 🙏

[@alexisidro]

Very welcome! The first thing I’d say is pay attention to what colleges require you to submit. Check all the boxes. And what do you mean by “material?” Do you mean skills or projects? Or anything else?
