Description

Yes or no?! ?

Everyone wants to know whether or not it’s recommended to put projects that didn’t launch in their portfolio and if it’s worth talking about during interviews.

Here’s the quick version; when creating your portfolio and resume, use every amazing example of your skills you can.

Why would you avoid using a project that didn’t go public? If you did the work, then show it off! Launching isn’t the only part of the story.

Tune in to episode 36  to learn more about how to talk about your unlaunched projects with power.

00:58 The short answer, yes!

02:00 Stop thinking about why you can’t, and start thinking why wouldn’t you?

04:35 Projects don’t launch ALL THE TIME.

04:58 Be professional. Don’t use an interview to complain about the failed launch.
