As someone who has been involved in hiring, if the candidate provides a link to an online portfolio before the interview, I will look at it to help decide if I want to interview the candidate. However, once the candidate comes in, I want either a hardcopy ...

Donna, If you can indeed change the terminology and definitions to something a bit more useful, these are the ones I've found in most common usage in the dev environments I've been in: Cosmetic: change to interface (text changes, placement of screen elemen...

I have both, but I don't believe the online version gets any attention. My experience has been that I have to make it a point to be able to finangle an interview to the point that I can show my hardcopy portfolio. Even then, it's only made any impact in on...

It's been a while since I was a Mantis owner, but I'm pretty sure I remember the admin having the ability to decide which levels of severity would be used and displayed, what alerts would be associated with a given level of severity and possibly even to ch...

Hey, Gang! I'm over here republishing a couple of articles about portfolios on the TECHWR-L Web site: Taking Your Show on the Road: Constructing and Using an Online Portfolio http://www.techwr-l.com/cdportfolio Developing an Annotated Portfolio http://www....

Reasons to include many screen shots: 1. Your audience is not proficient in English but is using an English-language manual. The screen shots provide confirmation that the process is going correctly. 2. Your UI is sufficiently complicated or feature-heavy ...

My thinking was along the same line as yours, until I documented an Installshield Wizard that required user input on almost every screen. It was so complicated that Support usually had to walk the customers through the process. So we used a screen shot fo...
