Chapter In Review Portfolio: Fill & Download for Free

If you feel your portfolio is “mediocre,” then improve it. Take some of the better projects and rethink/rework them. If you are still in contact with your design professors, ask if they can give you an honest portfolio review with recommendations of things you can improve. I would also suggest contacting art directors in your community to get the same advice from them. Some will be more than happy to take a look at your portfolio. If you live in a large community, there may be an AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) chapter in your area. Go online and look them up. They could also provide you with valuable information.Good luck.

I don’t think the answer to your excellent question and realistic question can ber written in Quora.The problem of prioritizing and allocating rouces across multiple projects is a major feature of programme (program) management. Books, or at least numerous chapters in books, have been written on this topic.The most common system world wide is: he who shouts loudest, gets.If you want to prioritise projects not using the loudest voice, you need to have an understanding of a number of factors:how these projects depend on or connect to each otherthe priority of each projectthe demand for each kind (or at kleast the contentious) resources made by each project. Don’t forget the business as usual work load - day to day work, holidays, training and so on.Unfortunately every project manager and every sponsor will view their own project as the highest priority so you will need a decision maker to allocate priorities. This is a role of the portflio manager and/or programme/portfolio board.Be aware that as time moves onward priorities will change, some projects will get dropped, new ones will appear.Sophisticated organisations have program or portfolio board meeting every 2 or 3 months to review the overall workload and guide the program teams.Any attempt to do this will demand a system to report progress and current plans for each project - that can be very useful.The solution may be demanding and their will be running costs.

Level 1 was probably the most diverse in terms of its focus. While L2 focusses a lot on financial products & valuation and L3 on Portfolio Management, L1 covers basic concepts across a very wide spectrum.I appeared for CFA L1 in 2016 and scored the top grade in 10/10 subjects. Looking back, I think what has definitely helped me more than the 10/10 is the clarity of concepts and ideas that L1 provided.Sharing some things that helped me:Do not skip ANYTHING. I think the quantity of material in CFA exams is challenging. But never think of skipping a chapter in order to do others better. Because you very often get freebies that you would be able to answer even if you have only managed to glance the entire course once - but not otherwise. Don't miss these.Try to read the official material. Now, I know that's huge and there are alternatives like Schweser that summarize the conteng fairly well. But the clarity you get from reading the official material is unparalleled. Especially in L1. And it's written in simple language. So even though it's a lot of pages, it's a lot of understandable pages.Never underestimate ethics. You probably know this. Ethics seems fairly logical while reading. Stuff that you can look at identify as unethical. But it's deceptive. There are some pretty confusing questions, with very close options. To be able to identify the correct one, you'll need to know what the ethics code thinks about it. Plus CFA Institute takes ethics very seriously.Read ethics in the end. This is subjective, of course. But I decided to leave ethics for the end and studied it thoroughly a couple of days before the exam. While you don't need to leave it that late, I think it made sense to cover it comprehensively in the end given it probably needs to most stuff to be memorized. The more recent, the better.Get good summaries. Since there are so many subjects and chapters, you would end up forgetting the things you didn't go over in the lead up. So ideally, try revising the entire syllabus over the last week from scratch. I referred to summaries by Alpha Review (just came across them online, liked them). That was 2016, though, so maybe there are even better resources now. Summaries that contain entire subjects in 15–20 pages should be good to refresh your memory.A bit of memory. A LOT of understanding. If you don't understand the fundamental ideas, you'll end up stumbling a lot. Even if you remember everything.Practice using the calculator. This is fairly obvious. Since for a lot of us it's the first time using a financial calculator, it takes a while getting used to it.Lastly, I think I liked L1 because it REALLY helps you understand the basics well. This is where the point about reading from the official books comes in - because if your purpose is to genuinely understand financial topics better, the grind of official books is worth it. Plus it definitely pays off in L2 and L3.Hope this helps!
