"My portfolio has a wide range of both commercial and residential planning. I began my career in commercial development and have since been working on building communities and park areas. I really like my portfolio - even my early work, because it got me to where I am today. I wouldn't change anything about it but I will say that my work has become much more detailed since the beginning of my career."

You can choose to present your portfolio as a website, PowerPoint presentation, or selection of printed documents. Take some time to describe the projects you are really proud of, but keep your descriptions brief.
