Blog #6

1) What professional goals do you think your portfolio achieves? (You may copy and paste your response from blogpost #6. You may also add to it if relevant.)

My portfolio is a pretty good summation of my skills/competence, which makes it a pretty good resume if I don't say so myself. If anyone wants to hire me—and if I want to be hired—I think sending them this website could contribute to my potential recruitment. 

Of course, there is always the possibly that it repulses my potential employer, but if that is the case then I probably wasn't the best fit for the job in question anyway. Another risk is the potential theft/spying that third parties might decide to undertake; however, that is contingent on the people who would do so not having other avenues already to do so as well as them finding anything of value within my work. Also, even if the worst comes to pass, I can always start again—make another site.

2) In what ways do you see yourself potentially revising your portfolio in the future to better rhetorically meet these goals?

The ways that I see myself potentially revising my portfolio is via adding more content/information to the portfolio, rectifying any bugs/errors that may be present, and making the user interface easier to navigate.

The most likely errors are almost certainly related to grammar or spelling, as with the volume of work and the rush to complete that work are bound to produce them. When pertaining to bugs, there is likely to be some whether it be from my end or google drive’s. As a result, I have multiple avenues to get to the same location in hopes of counteracting such developments.

3) What written pieces do you think you could add or take out? Why?

I intend to add a grad school portion to the portfolio as I already have several works from a class this quarter which I think are sufficient enough to showcase. As for anything I could take out, well, that would be these blogs. The main reason is they are created from prompts for a singular class of my undergraduate degree. Once the class is concluded they would have an inordinate amount of influence on the website’s design and thus need to either be taken out, moved, or expanded upon in a manner that drowns out/overtakes the original purpose for them.
