- It’s easier than ever to deploy a simple website with some information about yourself. You can customize it however you like to make it reflect your unique personality.
- Once you have one you can iterate on it over time.
- As you build small projects for yourself you can display them on your site along with write ups about the project.
- Feel free to use as many pre-made templates for your personal site. However you can simplify it and make it easier. Your personal site is also a playground to learn about new tools and frameworks that make developing easier.
- Because there are no requirements you can do whatever you find interesting on it. Some common things to share on your site:
- journal or blog
- projects you’ve built
- a summary of your education/work experience
- hobbies and passions
- links to other social media or places where you can be found online
- The goal with the personal site is to humanize yourself to potential recruiters and employers. It’s nice to see the personality behind the resume. So focus on things that let your personality shine through.
