"Make me a portfolio PPT" is not enough
A portfolio deck needs context. AI must know the role you are applying for, the projects you want to highlight, and the results you achieved.
Tip 1: Always specify the target role
A portfolio for product marketing should not look like a portfolio for UX design or business development.
Example:
Create a portfolio PPT for a junior product marketer applying to B2B SaaS companies.
Tip 2: Include project outcomes as numbers
Numbers make your work easier to evaluate.
Examples:
- Increased conversion by 12%
- Reduced manual work by 30%
- Managed a campaign with 50,000 impressions
- Interviewed 20 users
Prompt:
For each project, show my role, process, output, and measurable result.
Tip 3: Frame it as "seen by" the reviewer
Instead of saying "portfolio for me," describe who will read it.
Example:
Create a portfolio deck that a hiring manager can review in 5 minutes.
This helps AI prioritize clarity and scanning.
Tip 4: Create separate versions for each company
Use one base deck, then customize:
- Company A: emphasize industry experience
- Company B: emphasize growth metrics
- Company C: emphasize collaboration and execution
Tip 5: Choose an executive audience in setup
For portfolio decks, an executive or hiring-manager style often works better than a student style. It makes the deck more concise and outcome-oriented.
