As the game industry grows larger, more and more potential jobs open up for people who want to pursue this path. But as the industry grows larger, it also grows more competitive. Just as more opportunities are created, the more people are vying for those spots. With this much competition, professionalism becomes more and more important. The easiest way to not only show professionalism and put yourself that one extra step ahead is with a well organized portfolio. This portfolio should not only showcase your talents but also be oriented towards the company and position you are applying for. Your portfolio is meant to grab the eyes of the employers that are meant to hire you and make them interested in what you can do.
Another thing to worry about in your portfolio is how it's presented. You need to make sure that whatever is going in your portfolio not only exemplifies what you can do, but is also consistent. You want all of your art pieces to be similar quality (that quality obviously being as high as you can make) and represent you well when put next to each other. You should construct your portfolio in such a way as to highlight the things that you excel at. There are a lot of small things that the people that will hire you might nitpick or criticize, so try to scope out what they look for to keep those inconsistencies minimal. Overall, I could definitely revamp my profile to make it more appealing and easy to look at. as I am not that experienced, I still have a long way to go in terms of artistic quality, but for the time being I can definitely try to make all of my works have a similar and more consistent style and quality.
