I asked this in the jobs thread but it sort of got left behind in the thread so I hope its to start another quick thread.

I have an interview and I've been asked to bring in a portfolio on a single project that I've done to vindicate why I should get the position.

I have two projects to choose from but the problem I'm having is I'm a little bit worried about how large or small to make the portfolio, both projects I have to choose from I have large documents detailing what I done and what I learned.

one is 30 pages long and the other is 70.

The question is what do I pull out of these documents to really sell myself in the portfolio, how long should it be? I was thinking 4 -5 pages but I could fill that easily and want some room for pictures too.

Are the following topics appropriate?

why I decided to do what I done in the project,
what technologies I used,
languages used,
methodologies used,
problems encountered and how I dealt with them,
learning outcomes and project outcome

Again apologies about starting a new thread and some quick guidance or opinions is all I'm after
