Why a portfolio?
Your CV summarizes your experience. Your portfolio shows it.
Instead of a single line like “Organized a volunteer project”, show the project itself: your role, how long it ran, the results you achieved and a link to the work.
Your Yalla Khotwa portfolio doesn’t replace your CV or LinkedIn. It complements them and gives you more room to show your abilities and your work.
| CV | Yalla Khotwa portfolio |
|---|---|
| Summarizes your qualifications and experience | Shows your work and experience in detail |
| Focuses on the essentials | Adds details, images and links |
| Tailored to each opportunity | One link for all your work, always up to date |

Quick questions
Before you join
What is Yalla Khotwa?
Yalla Khotwa is a non-profit student community in Palestine that helps university students build a free professional portfolio with a permanent link. The profile brings together projects, training, courses and skills, becoming the proof behind what the CV says.
What is the difference between a portfolio and a CV?
A CV is a one or two page summary that states what was done, while a portfolio shows the work itself: the role, duration, result and a link to the project. Each complements the other, and the portfolio link usually goes at the top of the CV.
Is joining free?
Yes. Joining Yalla Khotwa is completely free: setup, review, publishing and hosting. There are no ads on the website, and data is never sold.
Who sees my profile?
Anyone with the link can see the profile, as can Yalla Khotwa members. The whole profile, or any section of it, can be hidden at any time from “Privacy” in the account.
Your first step takes ten minutes
You don’t need big achievements to start a portfolio. Begin with what you have today and build on it every semester.
