Linking your portfolio within your CV is one of the most effective ways to showcase your skills and accomplishments beyond what a resume can describe. Recruiters increasingly expect to view concrete samples of your output, not just bullet points. A well-placed portfolio link gives them the chance to explore your projects, design choices, writing samples, coding solutions, or any other relevant output you’ve created.

Begin with a platform aligned to your industry. If your work is visual, such as in design or photography, platforms like Adobe Portfolio are ideal. Programmers rely on GitHub or similar repositories or personal websites built with tools like WordPress, Webflow, or even simple HTML and CSS. Authors often publish on Medium or a self-hosted website. Crucially, choose a site (www.infinitymugenteam.com) that’s intuitive, sleek, and reflects your professional brand.

Once you have your portfolio ready, make sure the link is simple enough for manual entry. Avoid long, messy URLs with tracking parameters. Instead, create a simple branded URL like portfolio.yourname.com. Verify the URL functions flawlessly across all devices.

Integrate your portfolio link where it’s most visible. The top section, right under your name and contact details is the most visible. Align it with your other professional contact details. Consider pairing your email with your portfolio link in a single line or stacked below.

Add it to a separate portfolio or work samples section, especially if you have multiple links to share.

Label your link with concise, polished wording. Instead of writing "Click here," write "Portfolio" or "View my work". Such phrasing enhances credibility and readability.

Ensure the URL is active and tappable in electronic formats. For printed versions, ensure the URL is spelled out accurately so it can be typed in easily.

Don’t forget to update your portfolio regularly. An inactive or stale portfolio undermines trust more than silence. Review your portfolio every few months and remove old or weak projects. Keep only your best, most relevant pieces that align with the jobs you’re applying for.

Customize your portfolio for each application. If you’re applying for a web design role, highlight your most recent website projects. When applying for editorial roles, prioritize published work with measurable impact. A targeted portfolio shows you understand what the employer needs and that you’ve put thought into your application.

Your portfolio link can be the deciding element between an interview and rejection. Your CV becomes a gateway to experiencing your skills in action. Prioritize quality, consistency, and visibility—your portfolio is your strongest asset.
