Description. What is your web presence like? Are you only visible on Facebook, or do you have a professional online presence? If you are going on the job market (or planning early for that distant day), the answer to these questions could set you apart from other applicants. This workshop will discuss why you should consider developing an online portfolio or posting an online CV, what documents or information should be included, and how even the busy or technologically-challenged can build an online presence starting today.

Learning Outcomes. As a result of this session, participants will walk out of the session with an understanding of the value of online portfolios for the job search, knowledge about how to develop one, and an actual page on which to build yours.

Presenter(s). Amy Lueck is a fifth year doctoral fellow in Rhetoric and Composition researching the historical literacy practices of Louisville's first high schools. She has been a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the English Department and Graduate Research Assistant for the School Interdisciplinary and Graduate Studies, and has used online portfolios to support and highlight her work in both contexts.

Elizabeth Chamberlain is a third-year doctoral student in rhetoric and composition, focusing on digital media and citation studies. She received her MA in English in 2010 from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
