Build a Simple Work Portfolio With AI

A portfolio proves what a resume only claims.

Step by step

  1. Choose 3 to 5 examples.
  2. Write short case stories.
  3. Add visuals.
  4. Publish.
  5. Share.

What to expect

Expect short case studies with problem, action and result and tips for presenting them cleanly.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not share confidential client work. Avoid long descriptions. Include only your best.

A good next step

Ask a colleague which examples are strongest.

A worked example

A freelance writer picks three projects. For each, AI helps write a short story: the client's problem, what she wrote, the result. She gets permission from two clients, replaces the third with a personal piece and publishes a one-page site.

A prompt you can copy

Good to know. Get permission before sharing client work.
