Re: Online Portfolio Question

["Will Husa" <Will -dot- Husa -at- 4techwriter -dot- com>]

Evelyn,

If you structure your website as an extension of your resume, then future 
employers or agencies will not think of you as a competing company. For 
example, my website is designed that way. It has testimonials and generic 
examples. It's located at www.4techwriter.com. When a potential client is 
looking for samples, I direct them there. In an interview, I bring real 
samples of previous work.

Good luck,

Will
