Define your role beyond the stack
State whether your focus is frontend, backend, testing or data. Explain where you used each technology. Check language and experience requirements; an English job title alone does not establish an English-speaking workplace.
Explain one project in depth
Explain the problem, solution and your contribution. Link a public demo or repository if available; do not share confidential client code. Distinguish team outcomes from your responsibilities.
Rehearse the technical discussion
Practise explaining an architectural decision and an alternative. Show how you investigate unfamiliar problems. Check CV links and repository documentation before applying.
Check that portfolio links work
For one portfolio project, explain the problem, your contribution and technologies briefly. Separate your work from the team’s results. If a repository can be shared, provide a README, setup steps and example screens. Do not share confidential employer code or customer data. Open links while signed out to check that the recipient can access them.
Apply it to your preparation.
- My contribution to projects is explained with concrete examples.
- Portfolio and repository links work and contain no confidential information.
- I am ready to explain technical decisions and alternatives.
