What to include,
by profession.
A good portfolio looks different for a nurse, a teacher, an accountant, and a product manager, because each is hired on different proof. These guides say exactly what to include for twenty professions, what to leave out, and the terms a recruiter in that field actually searches. Each one pairs with a builder guide, and every profession's site can be drafted from a resume with Portfolio in about a minute.

Questions before you start.
Why a portfolio, what belongs in it, and how the profession guides fit together.
Does a portfolio actually help across these professions?
It helps most in fields where the work is the evidence, such as technical writing, UX research, product, and content, and it helps in any field for senior, specialist, and freelance moves. According to a Workfolio survey reported by Forbes, 56 percent of hiring managers are more impressed by a personal website than any other personal branding tool, while only 7 percent of job seekers have one, so a good page is both rare and valued. For a standard role filled through an internal portal, a clean, machine-readable resume still does most of the work.
What does every good portfolio have in common?
A direct opening that says who you are and what you do, proof organised around how your field is actually hired, and a hard line around confidential information. The specifics differ by profession, which is why each guide is written for the field rather than from a shared template, but the shape is the same: lead with the evidence, protect what is private, and make it easy to read.
How do the examples guides and builder guides differ?
An examples guide says what to include for a profession, the sections, the terms a recruiter searches, and the privacy rules. A builder guide shows how to build the site, with a by-hand versus generic-builder versus Portfolio comparison for that field. Read the examples guide to plan the content, then the builder guide to make it.
How long does it take to build one?
If you paste an existing resume into Portfolio, the first full draft appears in about a minute. Editing the copy, protecting anything confidential, and choosing a design usually takes another twenty to sixty minutes depending on the field, with writing and research roles at the longer end because the samples are the main event.
Should I check my resume before building the site?
Yes. Most hiring in these fields still starts with a resume screened by software, and recruiters spend six to seven seconds scanning a resume. Run yours through the free ATS score checker against a real posting first, fix what the tool flags, then build the site from the corrected resume.
Build, don't just read.
Every example guide has a builder counterpart, and both start from a resume.
