Thank you for sharing your experience! I completely agree with you. Portfolios are not just for designers. We can write any skill we want on our resume but having a (personal) project that puts that skill into practice has more impact.

When I stopped stuffing my resume with whatever skill I learned in uni, I started landing the high-quality internships I was dreaming of. Now, I make sure every skill on my resume is backed up with a professional experience or a personal project.

You don’t have a professional experience to back up a skill set ? Create one with a personal project! They do matter. :)
