Background Story
A long time ago,I was just an eager undergrad looking to land his first job.
I had not a clue what I was doing. I sucked at interviewing. There were tons of other
smart kids at my school, and I had no idea how to separate myself. I did love to
program though, and had done a ton of independent work for small businesses - kind of lame stuff, like
FileMaker Pro databases and static HTML sites, but at the time it was cool.
Anyway, I decided
to put together a portfolio and send it to employers instead of the standard resume. It worked.
Employers got a quick picture of the things I was doing, and it seemed to validate me as
someone that did quality work and went a little extra ways to do something different, cool.
A few years later, while in industry, I revisited the idea for my personal web site.
Again, it seemed to work. Recruiters and employers would come across my portfolio, and it was a good
conversation piece in interviews. This year, I finally got a few hours to turn this idea into
a web site. I hope it works for you!
