DC Huddle – e-portfolios: An e-Portfolio is simply a website highlighting your work. It’s a great way to showcase your skills and talents whether you’re seeking internships, scholarships, jobs, or admission to grad school. Being able to add “check out my work at www…” to your cover letter or email message immediately sets you apart from other students and essentially gets you in the door first. Beginning your portfolio early is key so let’s get started! This workshop will cover the common e-portfolio web tools, the dos and don’ts of e-portfolio design, and how to select the right work samples for a winning professional e-portfolio.
**This opportunity is only open to current DC candidates and counts as 1 workshop credit. Registration is required.
