About this session

Your portfolio is a business case for hiring you.

A great portfolio proves you have the skills that a company needs. It shows your credibility and what you’re capable of.

Your portfolio can make or break your chances of getting an interview.

And once you do, a strong portfolio can help you make a strong impression. Your portfolio becomes a powerful storytelling tool to help you ace the interview.

I've interviewed and hired a lot of designers, researchers, and writers, and that means I’ve seen a lot of portfolios. Some were good, many weren’t. I want to help you take yours from good to great.

In this in-depth portfolio review session:

✔︎ We discuss the type of roles you're applying for
✔︎ We explore the projects and skills that your portfolio should showcase
✔︎ I walk through your portfolio like a recruiter or hiring manager would
✔︎ We review: First impressions, what I'm looking for, what I'm noticing, and what's missing
✔︎ We wrap up by prioritizing the feedback, so you leave with a concrete list of changes to make

One thing that stood out to me was how Corbet and I were able to communicate freely about how we worked together. We discussed whether coaching or mentoring was better suited to my needs at any given time, which made the experience more personalized and effective. Corbet is kind, patient, and wise, and her expertise as a UX Research leader was instrumental in my career development. In my job search she helped me identify roles that matched my skills and interests, understand how to best position myself to appeal to the recruiter and hiring manager, and prepared me for the interview. Additionally, in my career development, she guided me on learning specific skills, particularly stakeholder management, such as setting expectations and building thought leadership, as well as managing up. Overall, working with Corbet was an invaluable experience that helped me clarify my goals and make progress in my career.”

My introductory call with her was incredibly productive. She showed remarkable empathy, actively listening to my goals and challenges while demonstrating genuine care for my progress. Even though it was just an introductory session, she went above and beyond by helping me develop a plan for my current research activities—something I didn’t anticipate but greatly appreciated. Rather than strictly adhering to time limits, Corbet focused on delivering values, which made the session truly impactful.”
