1. Behance alone does not pass the entry-level bar
A Behance profile signals student or hobbyist to many reviewers. Your own domain — even a simple one — signals investment and professionalism.
2. Build a trust funnel on your homepage
Visitors decide in seconds whether you are worth their time. Clear value prop, social proof, and a CTA that earns the next click. Every section should move someone toward “I want to see more.”
3. Storytelling titles got an upgrade — keep going
One candidate returned with improved section headings from a prior session. The remaining gap: one title still summarized activity instead of insight. Keep rewriting until each heading stands alone.
4. Impact sections need outcomes, not activities
“We did research and design” is process. “We reduced drop-off by X” or “We believe this solves Y for users” closes the loop — even estimated impact beats silence.
5. Niche down for entry-level jobs
Every marketing book argues specialization. Entry-level candidates resist it because they want optionality. Narrowing increases interview rate for the roles you actually want.
