Watching this made me kinda sad. Why do designers nowadays have to put together not only portfolios but also these presentations? It's like a second portfolio, also with the About me section, and Design philosophy and thoughts, and case studies.. double work. Why engineers, PMs, and everyone else do not have to do this? (just a rhetorical question). Like for example, PM would put a website with their projects, and how they made all their PM decisions, and what were roadmaps, and deadlines, and how the project went off. And then they would also create a pdf of the same project but with more pictures.. and add their PM philosophy there (whatever it is).. but no, they can just send a CV over and go practice interviewing.. heh.

I agree, esp for the PM part. Engineers have lots of coding challenges, but I wonder how PMs put together their work.

You don't. This is so overkill. Build your portfolio website. Make sure work is well rounded and explains what you did (and what you didn't). Your portfolio gets you in the door. You shouldn't be showing up with a 2nd presentation. You should be prepared to walk me through projects on your website and talk about them in depth. Don't make a presentation telling me who you are. I have already looked at your website, your resume, your LinkedIn profile, and that's why you're in the door interviewing.

I don't think this presentation is a must, but it definitely is interesting and make you stand out among cookie cutter designers from bootcamp. The market is oversaturated, so this presentation can really make a great impression and show how you care about design in a more personal way. Companies and teams look for personality not only skill. I hope that makes it less sad, and more motivating! Good luck

II went through the user persona, wireframes, sitemap, design, prototype etc. It was just easier for me to show how I usually go about working on projects.

hey Femke, wanted to say that I got surprisingly good feedback when including the 'final pitch' portion in my presentation. such a good idea to include snapshots of what my peers said in performance reviews. the interviewers even said that they could see the feedback demonstrated in how i presented my portfolio. it felt quite weird to brag about myself, but I guess that's something I need to work on, anyway: being confident about myself and my achievements, instead of always striving for humility at the expense of my own succes. thanks again!

Great video although I have some reservations about the design & structure of the slides. I want to know why these presentation slide decks have so much information? Just as much information as a website portfolio. When you are presenting a slide deck, isn't it distracting to the audience to have paragraphs on a slide? For a design interview would it not be more engaging to make the slides interactive so the audience doesn't become overwhelmed with the information being presented? I'm a little confused at this video advising folks to use so much texts and read off of slides as it seems a little elementary. Once again, great advice on the information to share in a presentation, but I think advising people to read a paragraph off of a slide is a poor decision.

So basically this hiring process is not for introverts, only extroverts will get hired. What is the point of presenting a portfolio when it speaks for itself. Seriously hours spent building a portfolio, then an hour each presenting it to multiple recruiters seems redundant, a waste of time. That's possibly 1 unpaid hour x 100's of interviews. Tell me you didn't read my portfolio without telling me you didn't read my portfolio 🙃 Maybe I won't work for a company that doesn't pay attention initially when looking at my portfolio. A normal interview and a whiteboard presentation is all that should be required unless the company plans to pay me, at minimum $50 hr, for my interview, and whiteboard hours time.
