What’s good about personal websites, sometimes called e-portfolios, is that employers can see what you have done in a visual presentation that is not available in a written resume. If they like what they see on the resume and want to learn more about you, they can quickly skim your e-portfolio or website. Make sure everything is spelled correctly, reads well and correctly links to work you want to showcase. When you get to the interview, you can show your site on your phone or tablet, or ask the person interviewing you to pull up the digital portfolio to assist in the discussion. Having a personal website will strengthen your online presence in a positive way, a clear advantage when a potential employer decides to Google your name. For additional options for online marketing of yourself and your skills, refer to Chapter 7: Using the Internet and Social Media.
