Fall 2012 Digital Resumes and Portfolios :: New Responsive HTML Design

RDF — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:58:53 +0000

This semester we did something new. In the recent past, we created both a static HTML and mobile version of the digital resumes and portfolios. With the onset of HTML5 and responsive HTML, I decided to let the students purchase a responsive HTML template to use for their final projects. We still learn HTML, but now they learn how to create a static site (or dynamic, as in a blog) that will work on any screen. These resumes should perform well on your smartphone, tablet and computer screens. Let me know what you think.

These students are wonderful. Most have graduated. I suggest that you will be well served if you pursue them for your agency or organization. They’re sharp! They’re fun! You’ll be lucky to have them, too!

Here they are, in no particular order. Well, actually they are in the order they filled out the online form to share their URLs. By the way, we also did a printed portfolio project from the content represented on their websites. I’ve suggested that for years, but this was the first year it was mandatory for this class.

FYI: This semester’s group marks over a decade of digital resume creation by Auburn University PR students. I’m grateful to all of them for humoring me and working so hard on these projects. War Eagle!

Here they are! The Fall 2011 Auburn PR Student Digital Resumes and Portfolios from my Style & Design students. Links to their sites and a slideshow are below. Click the first thumbnail and the slideshow will appear.

Many of these students just graduated. As always, I’m sure they want me to share the mantra under which all of these sites were created … Hire Them!

Good students all, I heartily recommend them to you all.

Spring 2011 Digital Resumes and Portfolios

RDF — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 07:08:24 +0000

Graduation is over and about half of these students said goodbye to Auburn. The others will graduate at the end of summer semester.

Always love my students and very proud of them. This group was particularly fun and put in a lot of work on these projects. So, give them a look and offer them a job or internship.

OK, I finally got all the screen shots of each site into the slideshow. ;o)

Latest Digital Resumes & Portfolios :: Fall 2010

RDF — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 05:03:08 +0000

Well, I have been quite remiss in posting these sites. My apologies.

Here is the last batch of digital resumes and portfolios from my wonderful Auburn students.

Please check ‘em out and hire them! Great people!

Digital Portfolios & Resumes :: Spring 2010 Auburn PR Students (Now with more Mobile!)

RDF — Fri, 14 May 2010 22:21:56 +0000

First time ever … mobile editions to our PR student digital portfolios and resumes.

Here they are. All good people. Hire them!

This is the first time I’ve required the students do a mobile version. Only a few chose to go the full route. Everyone had to at least use the simple Google tool to create a version. Some have chosen (or will chose) to take down that Google version, as it is a wee bit quirky. I have chosen to list those that I found that will (I pray) display properly on a mobile device. The WordPress versions are fine. It is the Google versions that seem to go a bit goofy at times.

Most should have some version located at the “m..com” URL for their site. We got stuck for time at the conclusion of the semester, so I did not hold their feet to the fire on this part of the project. I will do that next semester. ;o) Still some quirks to work out, but I’m happy with what we did this semester.

I’ve offered to continue to help those that want to do the entire mobile thang over the coming weeks. We’ll see how many buy in. To me, this is important for students to have. How many PR pros will receive an email and perhaps click on a link to your resume? Wouldn’t it be cool if they had a mobile version to view?

Mobile is the 900 lb. gorilla, people. Let’s show potential employers that you are thinking about mobile. This is certainly one way to accomplish that objective.

Note: The students are listed in the order they shared their URLs with me on a Google form I use at the end of the semester. So, they really are not in any particular order, except for those at the top with their mobile sites. I pulled them out and moved them to the top.

Auburn’s Fall 2008 Student Digital Portfolios and Resumes

RDF — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:44:06 +0000

Fall 2008 saw a new group of students create their digital portfolios and resumes.

I’ve been slow in sharing last semester’s student projects. My apologies.

Below, you will see links to all of the digital portfolio and resume projects from my students last semester, Fall 2008.

Check them out. Hire them. Bring them in for internships. A few have already graduated and landed jobs, but some are still looking. We always tell them not to ‘settle’ for a job, but rather to seek out the job they really want. Find that “right fit” for themselves.

Your firm or organization may well be the fit they are looking for in public relations/marketing.

Here they are in the order in which they sent me their URLs last semster.

RDF — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 16:26:25 +0000

This summer’s crop of digital resumes and portfolios are up and ready for you to view.

Hire these students. Hey, they worked with a wide array of software and participated in social media on several sites. They have an understanding of the software and social media practice. Looking for interns? New hires? Check out these student resumes. Hire them. You’ll be happy you did!

Here is a sampling of the many places they posted content, including features and videos.
