    is this to redesign ur digital or physical portfolio?

    1 - label everything CLEARLY (inc. Dates, Tools Used, Preoject desc (not more than a paragraph)
    2 - have 5-8 pieces of work (any less u will look lazy any more ppl will start to lose interest.
    3- spend a LOT of time + B/S/T designing your own letter head/email template (beacues that is often your first point of contact with an agency
    4 - dont just make ONE portfolio - print/design all pages but then only include the ones that are relevant to the job ur applying for (ie dont show loads of website wen ur applying for a book publishers + vice versa)
    5 - get How to Be a designer without losing yoursoul - A.Shaughnessy - It will tell you EVERYTHING u need to know to answer ur question.

    i am in the same position you are - but these to me sound like the most obvious things to do

    [feel free to correct me if i am wrong]
