Put it in your portfolio

For the most part, I don’t have the finished products or enough of them to include them well in my portfolio. They were projects only used internally and I did the technical side of things before handing that over. I have good references and everything but I am in an industry that relies almost entirely on a portfolio. I do have a portfolio from side jobs but it misrepresents my experience. This is why I did the side jobs.
