In the Lynda.com course, Creating A Career Plan, Dr. Chaz Austin discusses key strategies for planning your career. Here I discuss three strategies that I will be applying to my career planning. Designing Your Career While it's not a specific strategy he discusses in the course, something stood out to me from the "Monetizable Passion" video. In this video, he says, "The business side of designing your career." I feel this combined with short and long-term goals is extremely important. These days a lot of people do a lot of jumping around from job to job, but they are not strategically jumping around. They are just jumping.

The Portfolio Enhancement SMART Goal project this week is intended to help us finalize our portfolios so that we are ready to showcase our skills as we move towards graduation and begin to fully emerge into the workforce with our new degrees.  My goal is to enhance my portfolio website in four ways: Increase the size of the logo in the top left so that it is more visible Update my resume file on the about page Reduce the size of the header on the subpages including About Me, Capabilities, My Work and Contact me.

The purpose of this activity is to go back and refine our website projects even further by looking at the project with a fresh eye and applying feedback received from peers and our teacher. By further refining, we improve the website. BEFORE AFTER REEL DEAL TACOS: https://info633584.wixsite.com/reeldealtacos CHANGES MADE Home Page On the homepage,  I removed the text to the right and left of the logo since it was not even. I also added an organic badge on the big image of the homepage so it doesn't feel like there is empty space on the image. I removed the "Why Fish Tacos are the REEL Deal..." section and then moved up all other sections. Under the "Find Us" section, I made the text bigger so it stands out more on the page. Navigation I moved the logo to the left and moved up the navigation next to the logo in order to reduce the size of the header. By reducing the size of the header, I was able to freeze the header so that when jumpi...
