Bio
According to an article posted by Forbes, it is crucial for applicants to include the right content into their portfolio. To capture the attention of the recruiter, the bio of the a communicator applicant should be interesting and able to sell themselves within a short amount of time (Council, 2018).
Do's

- Show as many quality examples if possible.
- Attach proof that you're one of the representatives or crew for the shoot even though your photos didn't make it.
- Hyperlink all projects featured for convenience
- Put your work in context. Prove the value of your previous work, it could be a celebrity, model etc
(Lehach Filippa, 2016)
Don'ts
- Showing images only without stating if its being featured or not.
- Just show your best work
- Reject the whole series of photos just because one of the are missing.
- Assume that the interviewer already knows the industry that you've worked with.
