Editor's Notes
- Online portfolios are a fantastic way for college students to showcase your skills, work experience and projects. Online portfolios are also a great way to display your knowledge and interests to your friends and family. Portfolios can help you make a great first impression, shows you are serious about the job, and demonstrates that you are able to do quality work. It can also help build your resume for future employers. You must remember that in order to create a successful portfolio, you must be simplistic, focused on objectives, and include accomplishments. Online portfolios doesn’t necessarily mean for technology majors, but for any major (like business, art, graphic design, etc). Writers and designers aren’t the only job candidates creating unique personal websites. Engineers in tech hubs deal with competitive interview processes; business majors write finance blogs to impress hiring managers; sales applicants need to prove they’re great culture fits. Personal Story Web Developers generally tend to build their websites from scratch using programming languages because they want to show off their web skills. But what about non-web developers and just anyone in general? What would they use? This is where robust platform websites that have complex website building tools right in it come to use (ex- Wordpress). No matter what major or what type of developer you are, it makes sense to use a platform because when you enter your career/work force, you might have to end up using big web platforms (ex Magenta, Big Commerce), and if you understand using these robust platforms already, then you have more skills to offer the company.
