Online Portfolios
On the Personal Branding Blog, there is another post on how to brand yourself: a portfolio.
In public relations, it seems that it is expected of you to have a portfolio. Earlier this summer, I created an online portfolio.
My top five tips for creating a portfolio online:
1. Buy your own domain. It looks much more professional and shows employers that you are a serious candidate.
2. Make everything easy to find and easy to navigate.
3. Create an online identity - blogging and Twitter are great ways to get started.
4. Don’t link to everything you’ve ever done. Showcase the pieces proving you are good at what you do.
5. Keep the copy short.
Also, get feedback. I’m going to be redoing my Web site soon. Please check it out and tell me what you think.
Learn it. Live it. Love it.
