How to present an important document online in an Interview

Presenting your portfolio online is not the same as sending a PDF and hoping people read it.

The conversation covers:

• Why online portfolio presentation needs preparation
• How to choose the right document for the interview
• How to make drawings and pages readable on screen
• Why file order and technology checks matter
• How to guide the interviewer without overexplaining
