What are some portfolio “do’s and donts”? I am having a hard time landing an interview with agencies even though I have some solid work. Wondering if it’s how I’m presenting my work in my portfolio

A mentor once told me to try to have a portfolio tell a coherent story that wasn't too complicated. In other words, try to have a sharp focus. He would explain it by citing how it's the sharp edge of an ax that splits a log. It's not about a lot of hammering, it's the sharp edge that gets it done.

Love that analogy thanks for sharing! Simple is always best.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

Hi Fish,

I got email from LTI "Thank you for applying to LTIMindtree and going through our complete selection process" on 27 Sept but after 1 week I follow up on offer letter she said my approval got rejected due high expectation (35% hike ). We re-negotiate at 6 Sept (30% hike). Now they will release offer letter or not ?
