How to build a portfolio that gets you hired

A strong portfolio isn't about having the fanciest photos -- it's about showing real, varied work that proves range and reliability.

Start with your best-documented jobs. Include before-and-after photos where you have them. Keep descriptions short and specific: the trade, the job type, and the city. Update it as you complete new work, rather than doing it all at once.

On CraftCred, every portfolio entry can be tied back to a confirmed work record, which is what turns a photo gallery into real proof.
