here some tips:
1. demonstrate your capabilities through a selective set of works
2. lay them out within a consistent format, that states: project title, date, brief description (in case it's a drop-off)
3. don't stick stuff onto a black /white sheet and stuff it in a sleeve.
4. if you want to show actual printed samples (offset) pull them out at the end of the presentation, so you can show that you are able to
a. oversee mechanical artists (if this is not you)
b. direct printing
c. choose paperstocks
etc.
d. for you being a recent graduate: knowledge of cutting, glueing and assambling.
5. don't save money on the portfolio you buy (it represents you and should last for a long time)
6. call people up and send them a replicate PDF portfolio from the printed sample.I frequently hire people and if they carry in projects and pull them from different sources they look unprofessional.
good luck
