Online portfolios don’t have to be limited to designers, photographers and writers who want to showcase their artistic abilities.

Teachers, DIYers, job-seekers or anyone with an idea (including you) can share thoughts and accomplishments on project management sites like ^IfMine.

By creating an online portfolio, you have the ability to keep track of your projects.

When it’s time to search for a new job, share your portfolio and show potential employers or clients what you can do rather than tell them on a resume.

Need a boost to get you started? By building an online portfolio at ^IfMine, you can:

  • Impress people with your thought process.
  • Display examples of your best work.
  • Show off your special skills.
  • Prove your professionalism when collaborating with and mentoring others.
  • Step ahead of the competition by adding value to your resume.
  • Update and evolve your projects easily.
  • Do it for free.

Get started today at ^IfMine.

How Much Information Do You Share?

Posted on by

Humans have an inner desire to connect with others and the Internet makes it easy. Good things…incredible things happen when great minds align and collaborate together.

Ten years ago, much of the world was unconnected. Facebook and Twitter didn’t exist. I hesitated to share my full name online. I was simply D H.

Prison Planet

Now, I blast off status updates, have hundreds of photographs displayed around the web and openly share ideas with other people.

However, I’m not an open-book. Important life details are private and it’s a rare occasion when I publicly announce my location away from home.

According to Online-Education.net, 90% of adults think people are sharing too much information.

How much information do you share about yourself? What do you keep private? Have you benefited from people you’ve connected with online? Let us know. Find us on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. We want to hear from you.
