Have you ever struggled with something before? Could be a skill, a project or task and you found yourself confused and overwhelmed at the same time.
In 2022, when I graduated from ALX as a virtual assistant, I wanted to make money immediately. I thought the skills I had were enough until I heard "send a portfolio" from a recruiter.
At that time, I did not know what a portfolio was. I did my research, watched some videos on YouTube and was able to grasp a few things about a portfolio and making one.
I went on canva, I tried to start, I created a vague portfolio, like it was not enough to be called a solid portfolio.
I now know why I didn't get jobs with my first portfolio.
But I never stopped learning. I was curious and had an appetite to learn. The second attempt at creating a portfolio was better than the first.
Thankfully my experience at Smarketers Hub opened me to Notion, a go-to tool for work and productivity.
Now, I can create a comprehensive portfolio on Notion and canva that sells my works.
This is me celebrating and looking back to my growth, no matter how little they are.
If you want to create a portfolio that is not only good but sells your works, send me a DM or drop 'PORTFOLIO" in the comments, I would love to be your guide.
Cheers to growth 🎉🎉
