I'm working on updating, polishing, adding to, and porting my portfolio
contents from my school server to to my own domain (which will be
www.elbarney.com) QUESTION: If the portfolio implies that I am
available for contract work, would potential employers see that as a
conflict of interest? Is this, in fact, a delicate situation or
something not to worry about? Any thoughts on how to approach the matter?
I do want to appear available, I don't want to look like a competing
company.
Thanks,
Ev
PS: I'd love to see links to your portfolios, if you're willing to
share them with me.
