I have to agree with Carolyn, I have found both resume and portfolio equally important. I did a bit of research around this time last year about "jazzing up" my resume. I wasn't successful in making it as awesome, as some that I have seen, but I was able to make it better (I thought) than before. However, it was recently that I have heard from others what Jen pointed out which is the resume needs to be easy to scan (which would be a nice entry into my blog post for next week.. but still not sure if I'm going to do it).
How do you decide what should go into your portfolio and what shouldn't?
Well, there are some pieces that I have kept in there since my undergrad. Honestly, my portfolio probably needs a major overall. I also wasn't aware there was the 8-12 pieces rule, but I have also switched to sending a weblink instead of anything via email.
Have you started working on your portfolio?
Yes, I have. There is a lot to be done though for the newer pieces I want to add in.
How long is your portfolio?
Much longer than the 8-12 pieces, but I have gotten down quite a bit from what it used to be.
Sorry this is short.. I'm currently rocking a nasty head cold.
