Do portfolios sway ESL hiring teams, or is it still resume-first? I’ve got a Notion portfolio with a 6-week task-based module for B1 hospitality learners, a 5-minute Loom walkthrough of my Google Classroom flow, and data showing a 22% average gain on end-of-unit assessments — curious what you’ve seen prompt callbacks. If you hire, would you rather see one sharp artifact or a short outcomes summary up top?
From the hiring side, the resume still gets the first scan, but I call when there’s a single, job‑matched link in the header — your “6-week B1 hospitality module” would be the one. Trim the “5-minute Loom” to a 60–90s cut that opens with the 22% gain and shows exactly one classroom flow step; longer reels don’t get watched.
Agree with @clara_j89, but the thing that flips calls for me is front‑loading the resume tagline with the context + metric: “B1 hospitality — 6‑week TBL, +22% gains,” then linking to a 90‑second Loom instead of a 5‑minute one. If you keep the full Loom, add timestamps on your Notion page for planning, assessment, and classroom flow so a scanner can jump straight to proof.
I’ve seen more calls when the header link opens to a 90‑second “trailer” that leads with student output, then the rubric and the before/after data — “show me the learner work.” Small tweak on @agonzalez25’s point: mirror the job’s keywords in the link label and Notion page title, and add a one‑page PDF teaser for ATS — want a second set of eyes on the phrasing?
