Pros and Cons of Portfolio, Personal Web Page, and Linked In
Before taking this class, the portfolio was all that I was accustomed to using in my career search. The portfolio, the web page, and Linked In all play an important role in helping ones job search. The portfolio is a good tool to represent oneself to perspective employers. It allows interviewers to have something physical in hand showing ones skills. The personal web page on the other hand allows for people to view many sites, links, and online data. I think this is important to demonstrate technology usage and computer skills. It is also allows the owner to display creativity in design. Another benefit is allows for many links to be added related to my career. I have not used Linked In much. I do think it has a professional look to it. I am not sure if I like it using my contact list as it does.
I think the portfolio, the personal web page, and Linked In are all important in their own way. I now see that it is beneficial to use them all versus just one or the other. When used together they allow potential candidates to paint a positive overall view of themselves.
