Hello! I am currently having UX Design intership interviews at a few large tech companies. Because I'm an international, the portfolio review (which is on my portfolio website) will be by phone or video call. Online guides often explain how to do portfolio presentations on-site, but few explain phone or video call presentations. Could someone tell me about good practices here? Should I create separate presentations for each project? Or share my screen and scroll through my web portfolio? Or ask the interviewer to scroll to the next image all the time?
Can you use some contemporary sharing tool like Figma? Export your designs in Figma if they are already not in Figma, and let interview panel follow your cursor. That will not distort the experience quality
I sent a link to my portfolio at the start of the interview (in the chat section of the meeting) and then scrolled through and R alkes about my work. I also had to show and discuss my design challenge and for that I used slides on PowerPoint
Thanks! My only concern using a website is to say something like 'you can now scroll to the next photo' all the time which might annoy the interviewer.
So I was sharing my screen the whole time so I controlled it. I shared the link because I also wanted them to browse as I had some prototypes and movie clips that wouldn't stream so well when screen sharing
It's up to you really and how you think it's best to show your work
Your portfolio lands you a phone call and eventually an interview. Your end to end process will land you a job. I recommend walking them through your end to end process - and hand pick a few samples from each phase to show how you deliver each. Load your portfolio with as much depth & breadth as possible.
Thanks, but I am wondering what the best way is to show portfolio projects during a phone or video call interview :)
During a call, show depth & breadth via an online portfolio vs. ppt. They will want to check out your style of work and how you deliver on various form factors: desktop, tablet & phone.

I think you should drive the presentation. I would start by letting them know you will send them the portfolio/deck after you present. Then share your screen and talk through everything while you move the slides.
Thanks. The thing is: my portfolio is on a website. So should I make a slides presentation for each project then? Or can I still make use of my website?
really depends on what you think will best communicate your process and craft
