In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about portfolios - best practices, organization, and how to use what people are looking for to stand out in the right ways.

Syntax listeners can get two months for free by visiting Sentry.io and using the coupon code “tastytreat”. Show Notes 3:21 - Include screenshots (or don’t).

People just need a few quick examples of the type of stuff you work on. 14:11 - What about using side projects and tutorials? 16:28 - Dribbble, Github and Instagram are all valid portfolio options as well — often that is the first place people look. Don’t ignore these. A hot stuff profile on any of these will make you more hireable. Make sure it’s creative and looks nice.
