Either create a compilation CDROM that showcases your best pieces of work or, better still, create an online portfolio. This is much easier to distribute and can be viewed by many more people.

Keep it simple. No employer is going to be interested in a portfolio that is difficult to navigate or cluttered so make sure it is well structured.

Think about how you present your work. Your portfolio will give potential employers an insight into the type of person you are so make sure it's a good reflection. If you're presenting print work or hard-copies of online work make sure their in a portfolio case or binder.

Keep it up to date. Just finished a piece of work you're proud of? Put it in. Make sure you're showing all your current skills.

Can you talk about it? In an interview situation a potential employer will expect you to be able to talk about the work in your portfolio. You'll need to be ale to tell them what your briefs were and how you met the challenges.

Always test your online portfolio with different web browsers and ensure your site loads quickly. Not everyone will have the latest web browsers so always try to test with older versions as well.
