Why do companies ask for a portfolio of your “best work” and then barely spend 30 seconds looking at it? I’m out here curating like it’s a museum exhibit and they’re flipping through it like junk mail. It makes me wonder if they already made up their mind before the interview.

I feel like they ask to see awards so they don’t have to spend the time looking at the work to see what’s good

They’ve already taken time to extensively review it ahead of meeting with you. Or, if it’s not provided until the interview stage (that seems weird), they review it extensively after the interview.
