So what good is a personal website anyway? We all know how a business or organization would benefit but isn't a personal website just a bunch of pictures and a big waist of time? Not always.
Naturally, there can be as many websites as there are individuals that author them. But what makes a personal website stand out as more than just posting private information online? It's is about making information and opinions accessible that others find interesting. And in the process, you indirectly document your interests, opinions, skills, and personality.
So why should you have one? In a time where many of us are switching careers or working multiple jobs a resume sometimes isn't enough. Instead of trying to show your work history in "the best light" on a single sheet of paper use a personal website to showcase your skills, write about your interests, and establish yourself as a consistent, organized, knowledgeable individual. As the author of your own website, you can display these qualities over time... something your resume doesn't do and something an employer really appreciates.
A focused topic, action plan, and your own personal style is all you need to be on your way to establishing a personal website and renders YOU in "the best light." Stop limiting yourself to a sheet of paper and start using space and time to your advantage!
