Hey bauhaz!

Thanks for the post. Naturally, your portfolio will be different when applying to a job vs. to a graduate degree program. My first comment regarding your portfolio is that there is way too much text. You want to visually tell your story, text should be a small complimentary feature throughout. You'll also want to clean up how you've laid out your imagery, it's too sporadic and doesn't seem to be any kind of grid structure to your page layouts. Nothing is aligning and the spacing isn't consistent.

Take page 15, for example, you don't want to show the title block for your elevation and wall section, and the text on your detail is too small. Ideally, that text would match the text in you project description. Also, why are the edges of some images rounded, and others aren't? It should be consistent throughout. You have nice projects, but you need to get some help with how to lay out your work in the portfolio.

Resume

Your resume also needs some work. Check out this article for some help with that. Depending on the job you apply for, your resume will be a bit different. Keep it separate from the portfolio. Also, try to find a nice template for your resume and use that to start. This version is a little confused, like the portfolio.
