I just completed my online portfolio last week after compiling pieces from my previous internships. My question is, how do I let professionals know that I have an online portfolio. Do I put it on my resume, cover letter, business card, etc.? What are your opinions? Thanks for this post, Allie!

One faculty told me later he voted on my side on a large part because I was simply a younger geek who, after viewing my crazy overblown time-waisting website I had kept up while at MSU!, knew I could handle pushing the College into the Internet with digital...goodness. My site defiantly stood out to quite a few people in the hiring process, and I know without that visual interactive reference I may not have gotten this job. Glad to hear you're still doing well out there too Allie!

As someone who has held a lot of interviews, anything in addition to a resume, cover letter and linkedin page can help you stand out in a crowd. A well organized, clean, easy-to-read online portfolio that also gives a feel for your personality is an awesome way to showcase your talent. Very interesting post.

A Step Ahead Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:27:10 +0000 http://thecreativecareer.com/?p=285#comment-21989 Allie, I completely agree. Online portfolios are so useful for PR students. My portfolio and blog has opened many doors for me. One thing many students don't think about is their Google results. What happens when their name is searched? Is is only their MySpace and Facebook accounts that come up? An online portfolio can really help their Google results, which is something a potential employer may check. Allie,

My Web site has played a major role in the "first impressions" I've given to potential employers, and so far that has been a very good thing. Great advice.

I created my own online portfolio (christyhammond.com) just over a year ago. I've learned that a lot of people are searching my name on Google and my website is one of the first things they'll come across. I've gotten quite a few e-mails from people in the field because of what they saw. Not every online portfolio has to be the same, but it's certainly a way to make yourself stand out from your competition. I agree wholeheartedly.
