Warm Greetings guys...!!!
Well talking about CV or Portfolio, they are the FIRST IMPRESSION of yours. I won't talk about what to do and what not to do in them. I will talk about how to show your own Individuality in them as they reflect your Uniqueness only.
The Journey begins from college Itself or much before. It begins from the day when you start discovering yourself and things around you.
It is always been told to us that " SHOW ONLY WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE"
But my question is - "WHY?"
Why should we show them what they want INSTEAD OF WHAT WE REALLY ARE?
Where do we stand with OUR OWN IDENTITIES, BELIEFS, STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES?
And REMEMBER, Now-a-days First Impression is NOT Last Impression. It may change with time.
So I suggest, You should show Who you are or Who you can be (i.e. What is Your Potential) in your CV or Portfolio.
Don't be like " O MAN! Look at his Portfolio. What a Photography, 3D Renders. I should also put some up. So what IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. I need this job"
And also Don't be like "O GOD! She's so good in Design. I am gotta go nowhere with a portfolio like this."
You never know what the employer is searching within their employee. Maybe its Honesty or Presentation Skills (The thing you are great at). It could be ANYTHING. MAYBE something you got better than others. Every same job post has same work but employer's choice varies (according to their needs, thoughts and different experiences)
Someone once told me"IF YOU THINK YOUR PORTFOLIO IS BEST. THEN IT IS".
REMEMBER It reflects you not others.
ADVICE : Keep your CV and Portfolio Simple, Honest and as short as possible. Its your own creativity in 'how to hide your weaknesses within your strengths'. And Yes! Don't Forget to add content page so that viewer should go directly to the topic of their interest.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF!!!
HERE IS THE LINK TO MY OWN PORTFOLIO AS AN EXAMPLE (There are a lot good examples on internet too). But not as good as your own creativity and thought towards your Portfolio and CV.

And also In your CV, put things only you have proof to.
You don't want your employer to feel like "Being Lied To" and you should NOT LIE to them either. Because you maybe not good like others but you are UNIQUE IN YOUR OWN WAY. Maybe there is someone thinking same about your Presentation Skills (I hope I knew how to do this thing and this job was mine).
