This is spot on. I say portfolios should be like math tests--show your work. As math students, we're asked to show our work to demonstrate we understand how to solve the problem. The same is true for design portfolios. I would add that, especially students, need to clarify what is student work and what is real-world problem-solving. Additionally, designers should clarify their role if they were on a team. If you just did production, say it. It's ok. It shows you've been a part of a successful team. Thanks for sharing your insight with the community. Steve,

The more years of experience, the more relevant, and the more you would want to keep this information on resume and Linkedin. If experience is no longer relevant and you have substantial experience that is, you can leave off the non-relevant experience. A recent grad, for example, would likely have more un-relevant experience listed than a 10-year professional. This depends somewhat on the overall years of professional experience you have.

Or rather, should it be as far back as experience is pertinent? Does the same go for a resume? Thanks Mr. P!
