Portfolio presentation structure

• Once you have talked to a recruiter, they will send you a guide on adjusting your presentation to their process.
• Presentation is a must, and you must take it seriously—a deck of slides.
• The presentation shows you come prepared and respect interviewers.
• It helps you to keep your story straight and keep track of time.

Knowing what mistakes to avoid before you start building a presentation is cool (feat. considerations and recommendations from Google recruiters).

• Some interviewers have never seen your resume or portfolio. Let them know who you are and why you are here. Introduce yourself.
• Provide context: what was the company you worked at doing, the audience, and why does what you worked at matters. They might never heard of your company or country before, give them some frame of reference.
• Presentation strategies: 10-10-10 or 15-10-5 minutes per project.
• Telling a story is the best approach, but it should answer a hiring party's questions (hence consider structure).

More than 30 minutes might be too much information for your listeners and won't fit the interviewing time. Imagine watching a youtube video: if it is boring, you will probably skip it. Treat your presentation as a youtube video: keep it engaging, thought out, and with good sound and image quality. And, most of all, short and to the point, professional.
