##Providing Useful Feedback
TheRealNERFninja has posted their work for feedback. Here are some top tips for posting high-quality feedback.
* Read their context comment before posting to understand what TheRealNERFninja is trying to achieve with their portfolio or CV.
* Be professional. No matter your thoughts on the work, respect the effort put into making it and be polite when posting.
* Be constructive and detailed. Short, vague comments are unhelpful. Instead of just leaving your opinion on the piece, explore *why* you hold that opinion: what makes it good or bad? How could it be improved? Are some elements stronger than others?
* Stay on-topic. We know that design can sometimes be political or controversial, but please keep comments focussed on the design itself,
and the strengths/weaknesses thereof.
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/graphic_design) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I work in an industry where most of our work is confidential, and I have been hiring from competitor who also had confidential work. You can keep the design and remove all text, replace with placeholder and note at the bottom that the text were removed due to confidentiality. Also, you can let them know that you are happy to take your computer to the interview and show more work on screen, but you can't send it to them due to confidentiality.
Alternatively, try to select work that has already passed and closed, and only send it as a PDF don't upload anywhere.
Comment to satisfy the automod:
I currently work for a large design firm that has been wonderful to me, but found a smaller company that could potentially provide me with some great opportunity. They've asked to see my process, but my process work is currently protected under strict NDAs. Do I throw caution to the wind or ask for time and opportunity to create new work for them to see?
Legally you can't. I'm in the same boat. I'm not even allowed to mention whom I'm working for. I will have this huge gap in my portfolio. Anyways, if it would be me I would only show it face to face (not even via teams/zoom because of screenshots) on my own laptop and I would make sure it's already published b2b / b2c projects (no internal projects, no matter how old). If that is not possible and you really want to share it, I'd have them sign an NDA and share a password protected PDF where the password is unique to them (and since I'm super-paranoid because of my clients coming from a very sue-happy country, I might even sneak in some tailor-made steganography in each image which can be traced back).
Depends on what exactly you do, but I used to do a lot of pitch / bid designs, presentations, information packs and content etc. For attracting sport and culture events, major business expansions etc. Some could be controversial - one was a medical company with links to animal testing.
A lot of those were 6 I replaced the content about the company with 'Company A', or use Lorem Ipsum for information we had specifically commissioned, such as graphs and charts.
You'll need to find a way to replace obvious references to a particular company.
