portfolios for IT people

there are NO limits to what you can do, that's for certain. don't know much about the IT job market and the internet/e-business but i think the internet is one industry where SELF PROMOTION can be done easily.

its probably one of the few industries where you can actually DEMONSTRATE your skills and achievements. demonstrate i mean, you can do a show and tell (graphics designers is another). you can put together a portfolio and bring it with you to show prospective employers.

i might not know much about the tech stuff, but you can put all your work on cd, cant you? and you can put up your own website showcasing your work.

does not matter what your title is, its only a title --- as long as in truth you did it and you can defend yourself, then do it by all means.

on your portfolio, do something like a "dream" website, do a website for yourself for the sole purpose of showcasing your skills. i've seen the cd/website portfolio tack a very effective one. i've witnessed this in all the job fairs i observed in silicon valley. look at it this way --- if you put up a website showcasing your skills, the world is your audience!
