www.lifehack.org: Online portfolios are great. They allow you to be found faster in Google searches. They provide a one-stop-shop for employers to find out more about what you have to offer. They also show off your creative side. But when done incorrectly, online portfolios can really ruin your chances of landing a job interview!
The thing with online portfolios is that you have great reign over what you choose to include, upload, and write in your online portfolio. That being said, not all of it is going to be the right choice for your job search goals.

This article provides very useful information for both theatrical designers, but also any profession that demands a portfolio. Until I read this article, I did not even know that online portfolios existed. The last tip makes a lot of sense, even though it seems simple. Any way to make yourself more available to employers will help you. This will definitely be information that I will come back to in the future because of how relevant it is to the industry and the education field. I will soon be building my portfolio, and since I am a very tech-savvy person, this may benefit me greatly. And it will also be helpful to know what to do and what not to do.
