Portfolio Creation and Posting. The list of works can be placed ...

One of the main questions, who stand in front of freelancers, This is how and where to create a portfolio.

60% According to the survey, employers look primarily at portfolio. It reflects the level of the employee and gives real examples of the results of work. After choosing an alias, boxes, aska, skype, bank account, you need to start creating a portfolio.
Lots of articles on building a portfolio, but they most often refer to work in full time. The main feature of the portfolio is, that it must be electronic. Do not send work by mail, not everyone will want to review the mail of all freelancers who respond, and believe me there will be many. It is better to place a portfolio on remote work exchanges or on your own website. Create comfortable conditions for the employer.

How to build a portfolio if you don't have a job.

There are no people without work experience. Even students have free works created as term papers or graduation projects.. Even if the works are not for sale, the main thing is that they are yours. If there are no projects, come up with tasks for yourself and complete it.

For designers, for example, it is enough to draw 2-3 layout, for translators, indicate links to companies with which they worked and can, with the consent of the employer, put a sample translation in the portfolio. The main thing is to show your level. The amount of work matters it plays an important role. This will show how much experience you have and that you are constantly busy with work.. But think again, and so copywriters can run more in a year 1000 articles of all of them naturally cannot be published. Customers have a hard time with large portfolios. try, if there is a lot of work, post the best and most diverse (you are selling yourself).

Think again about whether you can constantly work at the level of the best works.. No one can do good work all the time. Publish in a portfolio of medium works 40-60% the rest are the best. Do not post failed projects, just draw hard conclusions. Try not to post unaccepted entries. (marriage) being visible, if there is something to show besides him. In summary you can not write the date of birth, marital status and hobbies since this data cannot be verified anyway. At the end, indicate “quality and compliance with deadlines I guarantee” of course, try to 99% match this trick. After compiling a portfolio read it and think about whether you would hire such an employee and why you did or did not take it, you will need to edit it constantly as you work.

If there is a defect, correct it as soon as possible.. Sometimes and 3-4 time to redo. Happens if you're wrong, then you fix it at your own expense.

Try to clarify as much as possible, because it is easier to remake a paragraph than to remake an entire article into 3-4 pages. underline that without this information you cannot understand what to do and how. Sometimes after that they accept without alteration.

If the customer really finds fault and does not justify it is easier to do another project with another customer. Sometimes customers because of their problems, like to build freelancers don't forget we are all human and we have to be lenient, but then normal customers stand their ground after reflection and when they have spoken, they usually begin to speak normally. Sometimes clients ask to constantly redo, this may be one of the options for kidding to stop working with a freelancer.

Where can you build a portfolio?

The most prestigious option is to create your own website and post your work there.. But if a freelancer is a beginner, then you can place it on remote work exchanges, tested it works.

In my opinion, one of the best remote work exchanges that provides the opportunity to post a portfolio is the exchange freelancehunt.com. I advise you to register. Creating a personal account and posting works is simple to the point of primitiveness, so that a person who has already spent some time on the Internet can easily create a portfolio there.
