What is a healthy amount of execution examples in a portfolio project? I want to refresh my book without overwhelming recruiters or CDs.

I always kept mine top 8 or 10 with my top 3 most visible on the page scroll. As a CD I would always click 2-3 pieces of someone’s portfolio to get an understanding of their competencies. Variety of brands also helps vs lots of work for same client/consumer category.

second this

I think the number is less important than it was in the physical portfolio days. Now you can click in and out and scroll to get a flavor quickly. And click in when you want more detail. Just show a good range of clients and types of projects.

When you have so much variety that you get passed on bc you don't specialize in anything 🤣🤣🤣

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Currently I work for a small company that does the construction of small cell utility poles and roof top sites for the major cell carriers like VZW, T-mobile, AT&T and so on. I am a project coordinator but I do everything under the sun. Created project tracker. Submitti bids, sourcing material, negotiating price on materials, handling post construction inspections, scheduling sub contractors, notifying stakeholders, coordinating with construction managers - property owners - building management.

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Hey everyone, I got a call from Deloitte recruiting on Wednesday of last week discussing salary requirements and location. They told me that the team really liked me and that they were going to work on an offer. I got a call on Friday saying one group has approved the offer but they are waiting on others. I haven’t heard much since then. Should I be worried? How much longer will I have to wait?
