Monthly Meeting | Online Portfolio Readiness

The Speak: Almost all UX positions listed today require an online portfolio. Do you have one that is up to snuff? Join us and learn the easiest and best tools for making one. Is Behance (http://behance.net), Carbonmade (http://carbonmade.com), Coroflot (http://coroflot.com), Viewbook (http://viewbook.com), Portfoliobox (http://portfoliobox.net), Krop (http://www.krop.com/creativedatabase), Dribbble (http://dribbble.com) or something else the best one for you? Then once it's posted, how do you ensure it gets the right people looking at it? Mark Richards from Vaco will discuss everything from SEO of your portfolio to an insiders guide of what recruiters and hiring managers see when they look at yours (it's likely not what you meant them to see).
