Site up and running…
Building my personal website has been on my to-do list for awhile. Unfortunately as everyone knows life gets busy. Whether it’s work, family, or work, it’s hard to find the time. So yesterday, I decided to at least look at domains and price them out. Domain pricing led to coding, and coding led to Photoshop. I totally had to brush up on Photoshop because I am def not a power user. After a couple of hours, my site was up and running and I was excited to show my wife (who doesn’t get excited about my coding projects like I do). She liked it (in her own way, lol) and now I am the proud owner of my very own personal site.
In today’s business, it’s not just important to have a personal site to find a job, but it’s about marketing yourself. You can passively market yourself, for jobs/opportunities that you don’t even know about. Plus if your a coder/designer it’s just fun so that’s a bonus. It’s not expensive, but it does take time and attention to detail. But once it’s done it’s just updating every now and then just like your resume. Not to mention too, it also makes you stand out when you are job hunting. So hope you enjoyed my post, and until next time 🙂
oh ps: it’s super hot here in California…blah
