0:00Peace be upon you and God's mercy and
0:01blessings. In the name of God, the Most
0:03Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:05Welcome to the fourth lecture of the
0:06remote work course.
0:09Today we will discuss a very important
0:11and fundamental topic: the résumé and
0:13the portfolio.
0:15We will learn how to showcase our skills
0:17. And present ourselves to clients or
0:19companies in a professional manner. Let
0:21us begin with God’s blessing.
0:24Certainly, every person applying for a
0:26job, internship, or even a freelance
0:28opportunity needs to present themselves
0:30in a clear, professional way.
0:34This naturally requires defining one's
0:36qualifications and displaying work that
0:39helps the hiring party understand the
0:41applicant's capabilities.
0:44And this is where. We have two basic
0:45documents that complement each other.
0:48The résumé, which summarizes education,
0:51experience, and skills.
0:55And the portfolio, which displays
0:57selected examples of projects and the
0:58way they were developed.
1:01The content of each is chosen according
1:03to the nature of the opportunity and the
1:06requirements of the requesting party.
1:10By the end of this lecture, you will
1:11hopefully be able to: identify the
1:13sections of a résumé and write its
1:14content professionally.
1:17Select the appropriate work to build a
1:19specialized portfolio.
1:21Present the project in a way that
1:23clarifies the idea, development stages,
1:26outputs, and your personal role in that
1:28project.
1:30Review both the CV and portfolio, and
1:32prepare them for submission to a
1:34specific opportunity.
1:37Well, to begin with, let us learn about
1:39. The concept of the résumé and see its
1:42importance.
1:44The résumé is an organized document that
1:46summarizes the applicant's
1:48qualifications, experiences, skills, and
1:50achievements related to the targeted
1:52opportunity.
1:55Naturally, this helps the employer form
1:57an initial impression regarding how
2:00suitable this person is for this job or
2:02opportunity, and to make a decision
2:04regarding moving to the interview stage
2:07or another evaluation phase.
2:11Here, the effectiveness of the résumé
2:13depends on choosing the appropriate
2:15information and its clarity and accuracy
2:17.
2:19It is possible that the applicant,
2:21whether a professional or a student, has
2:24a good level of experience and skills.
2:27But they might not convey it, for
2:29example, by using wrong phrases or.
2:31Using general phrases, or perhaps they
2:33neglected to demonstrate or prove one of
2:35their skills.
2:37The use of the terms "résumé" and "CV"
2:39varies between countries. For instance,
2:42in North America, they often use the
2:44term "résumé" for a brief professional
2:47summary.
2:48However, the "academic CV" is more
2:51expansive, showing teaching, research,
2:53publications, and conferences.
2:56That one has participated in.
2:59But in other countries, "CV" is also
3:01used for a professional summary, as an
3:04umbrella term for both.
3:07That is why we always read the
3:08instructions of the entity clearly when
3:10applying.
3:11And it is very important to commit to
3:13what they are asking for.
3:16Well, to start, let us get to know the
3:17sections of a résumé.
3:20A résumé can be organized through these
3:22sections.
3:25Let us review them, and then we will
3:27explain them in detail and order: First
3:30, Name and Contact Details and
3:32Professional Links; Second, Professional
3:35Summary or Objective; Third, Education
3:38and Qualifications; Fourth, Professional
3:40Experience and Training; Fifth, Academic
3:43and Personal Projects; Sixth, Technical
3:46and Soft Skills; Seventh, Languages; and
3:49Eighth, Courses and Certificates.
3:52Ninth, Volunteering and Activities.
3:55Tenth, Awards and Honors. Eleventh,
3:59Hobbies and Interests. And finally,
4:02References.
4:04Of course, this is a list for selection
4:05and organization. It is not required
4:08that we use or include every section. We
4:10add the information that serves the
4:12opportunity. And we exclude the sections
4:14in which we have no experience or are
4:16not relevant.
4:17...appropriate for this opportunity, and
4:19you can certainly prioritize education
4:21or experience depending on the
4:23applicant's stage and the strength of
4:25the evidence they possess.
4:29Let's first look at the first section:
4:31Name, contact information, and
4:33professional links.
4:36The name is placed clearly at the top of
4:38the page, followed by necessary contact
4:41details: phone number, a professional
4:43email address, city or country if needed
4:46, a link to your portfolio, and an
4:48updated professional profile like
4:50LinkedIn.
4:53It is, of course, vital to verify the
4:55accuracy of the data and that the links
4:57work, avoiding personal details that do
4:59not serve the application.
5:03You may use a personal photo depending
5:05on the employer, but you don't have to
5:08include it if it's not requested,
5:10followed by a professional summary or
5:12professional objective.
5:15The summary is a short paragraph that
5:17clarifies the applicant's specialization
5:19and top skills relevant to the
5:21opportunity. As for the professional
5:23objective, it explains the type of
5:25opportunity the applicant is seeking.
5:27Well, for example, an interior design
5:29student.
5:30I use AutoCAD, for instance, to prepare
5:33executive drawings.
5:35And SketchUp for 3D modeling and
5:38rendering.
5:40For example, I completed an academic
5:42project, an apartment, a restaurant, or
5:44whatever projects you have worked on.
5:46And you continue: I am looking for an
5:48internship opportunity. Applying skills
5:50in furniture layout and preparing design
5:52presentations, for example.
5:55But naturally, you adjust the example
5:57here to match your own level.
6:00Or your actual level.
6:03Education and Qualifications. In the
6:06education and qualifications section, we
6:08mention the name of the degree and major
6:10.
6:11The educational institution and
6:13graduation date, or the expected
6:15graduation date if you are still
6:17studying.
6:18You may also add your grade point
6:20average.
6:21For example: Bachelor's in Interior
6:25Design, Al-Aqsa University, expected
6:28graduation 2027, like this. As for the
6:31experience section. Professional and
6:33internship.
6:34Here we list every experience and its
6:37title.
6:39The entity you interned with, and the
6:42period.
6:44Then, a brief description of the work.
6:46You have completed.
6:48It is preferred that you describe the
6:51task, the contribution, and the result
6:53or output you achieved.
6:56So, what is the difference between a
6:57general description and a clearer one? A
6:59general description might be: "
7:00Internship at a design firm."
7:03But when we describe it more clearly and
7:06accurately, we say: "Prepared
7:08adjustments to executive drawings for
7:10furniture layout using AutoCAD, for
7:13example."
7:14"And prepared 3D models to present
7:16alternatives, for example."
7:19And you write: "Under the supervision of
7:20the lead designer."
7:23Regarding academic and personal projects
7:25: this is designated for students who do
7:28not have prior real-world work.
7:30Here, one includes their academic work
7:32and projects, or those executed
7:34independently for training purposes. It
7:37is very important to clarify the type of
7:39project, your role, and your
7:41contribution to it.
7:43Any project where there is no proven
7:45evidence of your skill is not
7:47recommended to be included.
7:50Let's look at the educational example we
7:52have.
7:53This is, for example, a living room
7:54design, an academic project.
7:57I developed the furniture layout and
7:58created a model using, for example,
8:00SketchUp. And I prepared the snapshots
8:02and a presentation to clarify materials
8:05, lighting, and so on from this
8:06description.
8:08Naturally, in group projects, the
8:09student specifies the part they
8:11completed themselves.
8:14Technical and soft skills.
8:16In the technical and soft skills section
8:18, you choose the skills appropriate for
8:20the opportunity.
8:22It is preferred to clarify the task the
8:24student is capable of executing.
8:27For example: "I possess the skill to use
8:29AutoCAD to prepare executive drawings."
8:33"And SketchUp to model spaces and
8:35furniture."
8:37"And Enscape to prepare materials,
8:39lighting, and final rendering."
8:42As for communication and teamwork skills
8:44, they are clearer when demonstrated
8:45through a description of your experience
8:47.
8:48Such as presenting an idea to a group,
8:50or coordinating tasks within a joint
8:52project.
8:54Regarding the languages section, you
8:56must state the language and your level
8:57of proficiency realistically.
9:00If you have an accredited test, such as
9:02TOEFL, IELTS, or other certified exams,
9:04you can list it along with your score.
9:08Of course, it is very important that it
9:10reflects your true and actual ability in
9:13reading, writing, and speaking required
9:15for the job.
9:20As for courses and certifications, in
9:22this section, you mention the course
9:24name, the provider, and the date.
9:26It is, of course, very important that
9:27the course is relevant to the
9:28opportunity. Keep in mind that attending
9:31a course does not, by itself, prove the
9:33skill. That is why you must support it.
9:35With the applications you completed
9:37while, for example, a student.
9:40As for the volunteering and activities
9:42section, you can include volunteer
9:44experience if it demonstrates a relevant
9:46skill.
9:47While specifying your role and the work
9:50you accomplished.
9:53Awards.
9:55Regarding awards and honors, mention
9:57awards relevant to the specialization.
10:00Along with the name of the award, the
10:01awarding body, and the year, of course.
10:03You must distinguish between winning an
10:05award and participating in a competition
10:08or activity.
10:10As for hobbies and interests, this
10:12section is added when it provides
10:14important and useful information.
10:18Finally, references: references are
10:20people who can provide a recommendation
10:23or confirm the applicant's experience.
10:26It is usually not necessary to include
10:28their details in a brief professional
10:30resume unless requested.
10:32When needed, you must obtain their
10:34consent before sharing their data.
10:38Now, let's move on to the portfolio or
10:41work dossier.
10:43After covering the writing of
10:45qualifications and skills in the resume
10:47, we certainly need to move on to show
10:49what proves them.
10:53For instance, if a student states they
10:55can prepare plans, develop furniture, or
10:58even model, the portfolio allows the
11:01recipient to see this ability and
11:03evaluate it practically and clearly.
11:10Let’s learn about the concept of a
11:12portfolio and its importance.
11:15A portfolio is a selected and organized
11:17collection of works that demonstrate
11:19your abilities as a designer, your
11:21interests, and your method of developing
11:24ideas.
11:25It can combine, for example, sketches,
11:28plans, experiments, and final outputs.
11:31Of course, with brief explanations that
11:35clarify and help to understand this
11:38project.
11:41Let’s now learn about the sections of a
11:43portfolio.
11:45First: The cover and visual identity.
11:49Second: A brief introduction to the
11:51designer.
11:52Third: The index and navigation
11:54organization.
11:56Fourth: Selected projects.
11:59Fifth: Skills supported by work.
12:02Sixth: Supporting works, and this can be
12:05an optional point.
12:07Seventh: The resume and linking it to
12:10the portfolio, according to the
12:11requirements of the job you are applying
12:14for.
12:15Finally: Communication and professional
12:17links, of course.
12:19We can merge some sections in short
12:22files, and...On websites, they can
12:24appear as pages or menus, while keeping
12:27access to the introduction, works, and
12:30contact info clear.
12:34First, let's start with the cover,
12:36introduction, and index. In the first
12:38section: The cover and visual identity.
12:41The cover introduces the file owner and
12:43their field. It can include the name,
12:45specialization, and an image selected
12:48from one of the works. It is very
12:50important that it is a strong and
12:51attractive image.
12:52Because it gives the first impression of
12:54your ability as a designer.
12:58The fonts, colors, and method of writing
13:00headings remain consistent throughout
13:03all pages.
13:06Two: The brief introduction to the
13:08designer; here, you explain your
13:10specialization, academic level,
13:12professional interests, and work method
13:14briefly, choosing information that helps
13:16the reader understand the works they
13:18will see.
13:20Let's look at this example. An interior
13:22design student.
13:24Interested in residential space design.
13:28And furniture design.
13:30This file includes academic projects.
13:33That illustrate my work in developing
13:35ideas. And space planning.
13:38And my ability for professional modeling
13:40, for instance. Et cetera.
13:43Third: The index and navigation
13:45organization.
13:47This helps in accessing the projects.
13:50Especially when the file is large, using
13:53.
13:54Clear names and correct numbers; you can
13:56also add internal links in the digital
13:59version.
14:02Selected projects are the main section
14:04of the portfolio, and you choose each
14:07project based on its strength and
14:09relevance to the opportunity you are
14:12applying for, while highlighting your
14:14personal contribution to the project.
14:19Of course, as we mentioned, you can use
14:22work you completed during your studies
14:24or personal work done for training,
14:27while clarifying and explaining its type
14:29.
14:31Now, let's start by identifying what a
14:34project card is: it includes the title,
14:37type, year, your role in the project,
14:40the tools or programs used, and perhaps
14:43the project area if it’s useful
14:45information.
14:47As an example, it could be presented
14:50this way: reception area for a design
14:52office.
14:53Academic study project, for example,
14:562026, and my role was developing
14:59furniture layout. And modeling the
15:02reception counter, for example.
15:10Let's look at the concept and
15:11development stages section. Development
15:13and plans in the concept and stages
15:15section. You present selected materials
15:18. That show how the idea evolved. For
15:21example, you could show a sketch, an
15:23analytical diagram, or a comparison
15:25between two results.
15:27Or two alternatives, and you can write a
15:30short caption explaining the reason for
15:32the change.
15:34Showing this process helps in
15:36understanding your thinking ability and
15:38how you arrived at the final result.
15:42As for the section regarding technical
15:44plans and drawings, you choose the
15:47drawings that explain the solution; for
15:49example, display the furniture layout
15:51plan, sections, elevations, or
15:53appropriate details.
15:56Naturally, you must review the titles,
15:59labels, dimensions, and line clarity so
16:01it is clearly readable.
16:06Part of the project presentation
16:07components is the section for materials
16:09, colors, and furniture.
16:11Here, you showcase the choices related
16:13to the space and where you used them.
16:16You can even link material samples to
16:18numbers on the perspective or plan with
16:20a brief description of the reason for
16:22the selection.
16:23As for the final rendering or execution
16:25photos. You choose shots that explain
16:28different aspects of the project. Like a
16:30general shot.
16:32And another shot showing important
16:34details.
16:35Or a point you want to highlight to
16:37strengthen your concept.
16:40Alright, we reach the final item in the
16:42project presentation components. Result
16:43and brief evaluation. In this section,
16:46you mention what you accomplished. And
16:48how it relates to what was required. And
16:51you provide an idea of what you learned
16:53.
16:54And the points that need work to be
16:56developed.
16:58I emphasize once again. That the
17:00components we mentioned are points and a
17:02framework for selection.
17:05You do not need all these types of
17:07boards for every project.
17:10Or the same number of pages. It depends
17:12on each project. And on the requirements
17:15for this project. And on the opportunity
17:17you are applying for.
17:20Okay, the fifth section of the portfolio
17:23sections: skills supported by work.
17:26Here you point out the skills while
17:28directing the reader or recipient to the
17:30evidence, for example.
17:34Of course, we can dispense with this
17:36list being separate if the skills are
17:38sufficiently clear during the project
17:40presentation.
17:43As for the supporting works section, it
17:45includes drawing, photography, furniture
17:48design, and model making when it adds a
17:50different capability and supports
17:52professional orientation.
17:56Here, we select specific works, define
17:58them, and avoid adding materials that do
18:00not serve the student's image as a
18:02designer.
18:06The seventh section, the resume or
18:07linking it to the portfolio.
18:11Here, you attach the resume or provide a
18:13link according to the organization's
18:15requirements if they allow it.
18:19Review the consistency of names, titles
18:21, and dates between both documents
18:23without repeating the entire resume
18:25content in multiple places.
18:28As for the contact section and
18:30professional links, include at least one
18:33clear method of contact and links that
18:36lead directly to the intended content.
18:39Of course, you can use a QR code for
18:42printed copies, alongside a written link
18:45.
18:46It is very important to test this link,
18:48its accessibility, and its validity
18:50before including it in the file.
18:54Okay, thirdly, selecting content and
18:56preparing the submission file.
18:59Here, you tailor the CV and portfolio
19:02for a specific opportunity. The first
19:05thing I start with is reading the
19:07advertisement. I identify the required
19:10skills and deliverables.
19:12Then, I select the information and works
19:15that you are capable of proving and have
19:17available.
19:19Of course, the version suitable for an
19:21initial application may differ from the
19:23detailed materials you might present
19:25during the interview.
19:28In other words, you are providing an
19:30initial idea of your capabilities and
19:32skills.
19:34For example, if you want to apply for an
19:37internship in, say, drafting plans or
19:40executive drawing. You work on
19:42highlighting your experience in
19:44preparing plans in your resume.
19:47And you link the presentation of these
19:49plans in the portfolio with appropriate
19:52sheets and details.
19:54And when applying for a modeling service
19:55, for example.
19:57You prioritize the works you showcase
19:59and present to prove your ability and
20:02skill in this specific area.
20:07Formatting and presentation quality, to
20:09ensure the submission file comes out
20:11professionally.
20:13And reflects the initial impression of
20:15you as a designer or...You must adhere
20:17to the following formatting aspects.
20:20Adopting readable fonts, headings, and
20:22consistent alignment.
20:25Using white space to organize content,
20:28writing short and specific descriptions
20:31, reviewing images and plans at the
20:33expected display size, and avoiding
20:36duplicate images that add no information
20:39or, for example, show a weakness in your
20:41abilities. I do not show or use them.
20:46Okay, the length and formatting of the
20:48file. And let's see how its electronic
20:50screening works.
20:51Initially, a single page might be
20:53suitable for a student or fresh
20:56graduate's resume, but the portfolio
20:59length may be determined according to
21:01the works, purposes, and instructions of
21:04the requesting entity.
21:07And you follow the specific requirements
21:09for formatting, size, and page count.
21:12It is very important to pay attention to
21:14the electronic screening of the resume,
21:16or ATS.
21:18Currently, most organizations use it.
21:22Applicant tracking systems, in order to
21:24organize applications.
21:27They include searching and sorting
21:28according to specific criteria.
21:31That is why it is preferred to use
21:33familiar headings and text.
21:35And selectable text.
21:38And avoid placing basic information
21:40inside images or within complex elements
21:43that are hard to read.
21:46That is why it is very important to use
21:48the terminology.
21:50Found in the advertisement. When
21:52describing your actual skills. While
21:54adhering to the required file type.
21:57Keeping in mind that there is no
21:59specific format that guarantees
22:01acceptance in all systems.
22:04Let's look at this very important point
22:07. Honesty in presenting work.
22:09One of the most important professional
22:12principles in preparing a sound file is
22:14honesty in presenting work. Of course,
22:16through these points: First, clarifying
22:19the project type. And the student's role
22:22in this group work.
22:24Distinguishing between a proposal and
22:26executed work.
22:28Attributing reference materials to their
22:30sources.
22:32And writing down the skills and results
22:34you can explain. And proving your
22:37ability to possess them.
22:40Okay, let's look at this example to
22:42explain how we can link the CV to the
22:44portfolio.
22:46For example, if you applied for an
22:48internship that requires preparing floor
22:51plans and 3D models, and you have an
22:53academic project for a living room, how
22:56do you link your CV and portfolio?
23:01In your CV, you write a brief
23:03description: developed furniture layout
23:06for a living room as part of an academic
23:09project, modeled using SketchUp, and
23:12rendered with Enscape; you then link
23:14this to your portfolio.
23:17By presenting the evidence that supports
23:20this description. Project card and your
23:22role in it.
23:24A sketch or an alternative that
23:26illustrates it. Development stages.
23:29Show the furniture layout plan and
23:30circulation paths.
23:32Then, material selection. And finally,
23:35the final renders.
23:38Let’s look at this proposal for
23:40organizing the pages in your portfolio.
23:42First, the first page is the cover. The
23:45second page is a brief introduction and
23:48index. Pages three to five, for example
23:51, present a project, let's say
23:52residential.
23:54Pages six to eight. I could present a
23:57reception area. Or a hotel project. Or
23:59perhaps another project. From page 9 to
24:0311, present a furniture project. Or
24:06various works that support. The skills
24:09that I possess.
24:11Page 12: contact information and links.
24:13And a link to your CV, of course, when
24:16required.
24:20Well, in the end, God willing.
24:22I will attach templates and links to CV
24:25and portfolio examples for you.
24:31So, in the end, you will be required to
24:34prepare a CV in the same way we
24:36explained.
24:38And a portfolio that presents your
24:40existing work in the same way and style
24:42we explained.
24:44And with that, we have reached the end
24:46of our lecture. Thank you all, and may
24:48God bless you. Peace be upon you and
24:49God's mercy and blessings.
