The candidate’s portfolio

This is a screen shot from a CV I just read:

The CV itself is kind of boring. Just graduated, did so and so course and was excellent in foo and bar.

We see dozens of CVs like that on a regular basis. But the portfolio link was very nice. It linked to a Google Drive folder with a bunch of games that the candidate made, in various languages.

I didn’t actually went and read all the code, but I really skimmed through a bunch of projects there. I actually like the portfolio a lot better than a github link. A portfolio is explicitly about showing a potential employer what you can do. A github link can be used for many things.
