Design for the Job You Want: Personal Projects to Build Your Portfolio

Hi Shai,Love the progress you have so far! Really love seeing you pull examples to go along with what you're talking about on your worksheets.It seems like you have a good grasp of the problem, process, and passion! But if you need a little extra help, try thinking of it like this: Problem: What you're trying to solve. Process: What steps are you taking to solve this problem? In your case study, you want to show each decision that you made. Passion: So you chose a problem, right? But why THIS problem? Why did you choose to work on this project? This will help set you up to talk about your project with others! And you want to make sure the project that you're working on is one that you're really passionate about!For example, your food event! I liked your problem. You want to get people interested in going. Is there a reason why someone may not know about the food event? Like is it a new food event or is it a niche food group?For process, how would you entice people? I like your photo of cake on this box, can you use photos of food to entice people? Or mention a celebrity chef? Or mention that it help build community?And finally, just make sure you answer why you chose this project! From your examples, it's clear you love food so talk about that too!I hope this helps! Thank you so much for posting your progress! Can't wait to see what you create!

Hey, I learned a lot from your class. I’m not sure if I fully understood the 3 P’s. I would love your thoughts if I’m close to understanding &amp; identifying them in my examples. (Please excuse my typos)
