Learning checklist
Before starting a course, identify the target role, required skill level, evidence needed and a project you will build.
Portfolio checklist
A portfolio should show decisions and outcomes, not only screenshots. Build a small set of relevant, coherent examples.
Practice checklist
Choose exercises that resemble real work. Repetition without feedback does not automatically create job-ready ability.
Research checklist
Check current job listings, service descriptions, professional communities and credible organizations before making strong assumptions.
