FEEDBACK ON MY PORTFOLIO
“I was on a hiring committee for a tech writing job…with three other people…. I think one would have thought it was 'cool' and a good thing, but the other two people would probably have said something like 'can we take her seriously?’” (S. Krause)
FEEDBACK ON MY PORTFOLIO
“My big problem with the designs is that they don't seem professional; they seem more like a personal web site, mostly due to the graphics, I think.”
(M. Bauman)
FEEDBACK ON MY PORTFOLIO
“I like version 5. I know. It's probably the most boring, but you're talking about hiring committees. Think about how you're going to sell yourself. Are you trying to be 'professional' or 'artistic'?”
(B. Maid)
FEEDBACK ON MY PORTFOLIO
“…you're already infamous for pink flamingoes, so roll with it ”
(E. Wright)

FEEDBACK ON MY PORTFOLIO
“A little new media goes a long way.”(A.

FEEDBACK ON MY PORTFOLIO
“Your website should reflect the sort of job you want to get and if you are particularly looking for a new media job, then one of your new designs makes a lot of sense. Your portfolio will be a key piece in telling your story.” (J. Kalmbach)
