Your First Portfolio

Work Lạc Dương Proof of work June 20, 2026· 6 min read

You send a CV, the recruiter asks: "What have you done?" You say: "I studied at X, worked at Y." They ask again: "But where are the specific outputs?" Silence. That's the problem: a CV says where you were, a portfolio says what you can do. At Nhà Chung Lạc Dương, you can build your first portfolio — with real tasks.

Contents

Proof-of-work > certificates

Certificates say you studied. Portfolios say you did. In today's job market, recruiters want to see evidence, not just paper.

"I have a degree but no portfolio. My friend has no degree but 5 published articles. My friend got the job, I didn't. Since then I understood: proof-of-work matters more than paperwork." — a participant.

Build a portfolio in 1–3 days

1–3 days at Nhà Chung is enough to complete 1–2 real tasks. Not "internship" or "practice." Real published work:

Article

Write a blog post for Muôn Nơi. Really published on the website. You have a specific link.

Translation

Translate an article VI→EN or EN→VI. Published bilingually. You have a real translation sample.

Video

Shoot a short video about the experience. Published on Muôn Nơi channel. You have a real video.

Small project

Design a page, code a small tool, make a plan. You have a real product.

Example: real tasks

A 3-day participant can leave with:

After 3 days, you have: 2 published articles (VI + EN) + 1 video. That's a portfolio start. Not 10 years of experience. But real evidence that many people with 10 years of experience don't have.

Where to take your portfolio

After leaving Nhà Chung, you take specific links with you. Post on LinkedIn, send in CVs, share when applying for jobs. Each piece has a public URL — anyone can see it.

This is the most valuable part: you don't say "I can write." You say "here's what I wrote." No one argues with public evidence.

FAQ

What is a portfolio?

A portfolio is a collection of real work you've done: articles, videos, designs, code, projects. It proves what you can do — more valuable than certificates.

I have no portfolio. Can I build one in 1–3 days?

Yes. You can complete 1–2 real tasks at Nhà Chung: an article, a video, a small project. That's the start of a portfolio.

Are tasks at Nhà Chung really published?

Yes. Articles published on Muôn Nơi website, videos on real channels, projects with real links. You leave with specific links, not just words.

Does a portfolio replace a CV?

A portfolio complements a CV, not replaces it. A CV says where you studied and worked. A portfolio says what you can do. Both together are strongest.

I'm not in content. What kind of portfolio?

Portfolio isn't just for content. Programmers have GitHub, designers have Behance, gardeners have project photos, cooks have dish photos. Each profession has its own portfolio format.
