    I would have thought you could add some example to the portfolio with approval of the managers by removing sensitive information.

    Actually suggesting you're subject to an NDA would not do you any harm, sort of suggests it's very good indeed. You could even get a glowing reference signed off by the manager, I think that would more than compensate for the lack of details.
    As I mentioned earlier, it's not as simple as showing some screenshots or images. Imagine if you have designed a car, showing a photo of a car will make one look rather foolish. You will at least need to show some of the process and drawings. Otherwise anyone can take a screenshot and says I did it.

      Hi saad - although I am not a legal eagle, I operate in the programme/project management world and issue/sign NDA's on a frequent basis. I cannot state enough how much the company has screwed up regarding the ideas they wish to protect. The NDA should be signed FIRST before information is divulged. You could have sent over information completely legally, and above board before the NDA is signed.

      For the information to be watertight legally there is all sorts of considerations, one way or mutual NDA's in particular and is the information marked 'Confidential'? is the list of confidential items listed in the NDA? If not - say goodbye to any way of having a succesful legal case against the offending party.

      A very basic overview of NDA's is shown here from the guvmint website:

      If you are particulary worried, get some legal advice from a solicitor who knows NDA's (i suspect they'll laugh at this case), but I think you are overstating the worry a little. Good luck...
