Nervous about interviews? Don’t know what to put in a portfolio? We’ve got you. This workshop is designed to help you show up prepared - whether you're walking into a job interview or sending off your portfolio to a recruiter.

‍
You'll hear directly from Extern alums and professionals who’ve landed roles at top companies. They’ll walk you through how to confidently answer real interview questions, highlight your experience even if you don’t have much yet, and make sure you’re not just saying the right things - but showing them.

‍
We’ll also cover how to build a simple, professional portfolio using no-code tools. Plus, what to include (even if you're not in a design field), how to format your work, and see examples of portfolios that actually got noticed.

‍
Remember, you have to show work, to get work!
