You need to wow them up front, because it’s the wow factor that will make them look further into your portfolio instead of move on to the next. All animation fields look for a strong sense of human anatomy. I highly recommend the book “Force” by Michael D. Put some solid gesture/figure drawing up front. For example, recruiters for design positions are looking for design related work’ so don’t bother with putting animation or storyboard examples in there (or keep it in the back). For portfolio work, try to tailor it for the job you are applying for. Please do research beyond my opinion, because I’m sure there is advice out there that is far more educated in recruitment in the industry than myself. I’m not an expert in recruiting, so a lot of this advice is kind of off the cuff based on my experiences. I just want to preface this with, I am just one guy, one opinion. Here’s some advice I sent to another student a while back.
