Blog Post #5: GIS Portfolio
In the final weeks for the GIS Internship we were given the task of creating a GIS portfolio either on paper or digitally. I decided to create a digital portfolio so that I could give it to my supervisors and let them know everything I learned getting the GIS certificate. This was the first time I have done a portfolio online and I would say it was hard to try to find a free website. The Wix website said it was free but it would not post anything unless I bought for the domain name and the website. That is when I decided to search more and found a website called IONOS. It still made me pay for the domain but it was only $13 for the year and there were no other things I had to pay for in order to make my portfolio. I would say I am extremely happy with the portfolio. I will definitely add more in the future and keep the website updated. Since I am a graduate student I had to create a video or audio from questions that were provided to us. I decided to do an audio because my computer was having a hard time with the visual. Lastly, I decided to answer two questions: 1. Describe a time when you were faced with a challenging situation and how you handled it. and 2. What is your favorite map example in your portfolio and why? I felt like both of these questions would be ones that I might answer in future interviews and it was nice to practice my answers.
