10-MINUTE TECH COMM PODCAST EPISODE

with Dr. Ryan Weber, University of Alabama, Huntsville

Dr. Ryan Weber, an Associate Professor at University of Alabama, Huntsville, interviewed me for an episode on his 10-Minute Tech Comm podcast. In this episode, we talked all about the mighty portfolio:

• Where I went wrong*

• What it entails

• Where to begin

• What to include

• Why it’s important for:

  • Interviewing

  • Networking

• How it’s helped my career

It’s no surprise that I think professional portfolios are important. If your profession or skill lends itself to this modality, it’s a method to not only display samples of work (whether you’re actively looking for jobs or not), but also an opportunity to perform the skills that your resume says you have. For me, every choice—even of omission—is a thoughtful, rhetorical one. Listen and let me know what you think!
