About this course
Your resume gets you noticed. Your portfolio proves what you can do. Your interview wins the job.
Most people never finish a portfolio. They don’t know what to include, how to make it look professional, or how to put it online. This free course solves all three, step by step, with free AI tools.
You’ll build your portfolio one piece at a time:
• Plan the structure with ChatGPT
• Research what your field expects with Gemini
• Create your visual identity with Leonardo AI and Canva
• Turn your work into strong case studies with Claude
• Organise everything in Notion
• Create mockups, icons and graphics
• Build a live website with Lovable
• Publish it and share your link
• Prepare for HR interview questions
Plan → Research → Brand → Write → Stage → Design → Build → Publish → Interview
Every module uses what you made in the one before, so nothing is wasted. You finish with a professional portfolio website that shows your skills, projects and achievements, not just a list on a resume.
Don’t just tell recruiters what you know. Show them what you can do.
Your next interview could be your next opportunity. Build your portfolio, get interview-ready and present your best professional self.
