But they always ask me what I did, or what I've been
doing, and I find it a lot easier to show than just
tell. After all, talk's cheap. They want to *see*
what I've done for someone else to get an idea of what
I can do for them.

Also, the one time I got out of the car and realized
my portfolio was 20 miles away on my dining room table
and the interview was inside the round-trip time, I
went in without it. I managed. more or less, but I
didn't like it. And I didn't get the job.

Sometimes they hardly look, sometimes (rarely) they
want to read something in detail. They always want to
see something. In my experience, of course.

Oddly enough, everyone's experience differs. What
works for yo uis what works for you and (thank
goodness) there's no one certified right way.
