WCP65 Portfolio shame

Our online portfolio lets us showcase our best and most relevant work to new editors. Ironically, we’re often most aware of its shortcomings at the very time that we’re trying to move our careers forward. There can be a real disconnect between what we’ve done in the past and what we want to do now and in the future. Telling ourselves “I should have newer/better/more prestigious clips” doesn’t function as a motivator to pitch with fervor to refresh the portfolio. It’s more likely to evoke shame and avoidance.
