Basically I have a interview in which I want to take a physical portfolio. This worked well showcasing my Front-end abilities. However, I wanted tips on how I can show my work in action, code, should I describe how code works, and if I should, how should I do it.

When I’m looking for employees I always look for the small things, like organised code, tabbed in the correct places, so that at a glance you can see what goes with what e.g.

<div id="test">
<!– Test content here –>
<!– End of Test content –>
</div>

Also I look for people who comment their code, so no-one has to look through all the code to find out what it does.

If you are going to an interview, I wouldn’t suggest talking about how code works, as they will know and this will sound patronising to them.

Most people aren’t looking for people who can code, there are thousands, what they are usually looking for is someone who has flare, creativity and can think for themselves, but also work in a team.
