Introduction
A portfolio of 3–5 finished prompt projects is the single biggest job-search asset for a prompt engineer.
Beginner analogy: Like a designer's portfolio — show, don't tell.
Understanding the topic
Core concepts to understand:
- Each project: problem, approach, evals, results, lessons.
- Open-source the prompts + evals.
- Write a blog post per project.
- Include cost / latency / accuracy numbers.
- 3 small > 1 huge unfinished.
Syntax reference
Visual workflow / architecture:
bash
Project template:Problem → Approach → Eval → Result → Lessons

Top hires increasingly screen by portfolio — even more than resume.
Best practices
- Ship 3 small projects in 6 weeks.
- Numbers and evals beat narrative.
