Way to go, Rebecca!

  Get the Interview! Acing the Screening Telephone Interview 

  Don’t let this happen to you:   you’re walking on the quad when your phone rings.  You answer it– it’s from that non-profit you just sent your resume to.  Just then, your friend runs up and screams a greeting which reaches the caller’s ears.   Your professional image is officially shot, you are embarrassed and stumble through a few questions.   You’ve just had a screening phone interview, and it may well be an opportunity lost.

  While phone interviews are usually scheduled, sometimes an employer will cold-call you.  This article from the Washington Post Jobs section provides good tips on managing screening telephone interviews– a tool which employers are using more and more to help them cull through the piles of resumes.     But, before you ever get to the interview, remember to only take an employer’s call if you are in a quiet, safe place– and preferably on a landline!

  Building a Web Portfolio 

  We hope these tips will help SOC students and others get started thinking about and designing professional e-portfolios:
  

  SCOPE OUT THE COMPETITION
  Browse the online portfolios of professionals in your field. What do you like, or dislike? What choices are they making about how they present their work, how they approach the design, what industry jargon they use? You can find pros’ websites/portfolios just by Googling the name of a person whose work you admire, or even the field you’re interested in pursuing. These sites are ubiquitous—which should motivate you even more to create your own!

  SECURE A DOMAIN NAME
  Before you begin to build your site, you can secure a domain name. Even if you’re building on a platform that gives you a ready-made address, you can usually link it to an alias URL that’s easier to remember and connect with your business or your name. One of the most popular places to screen and purchase domain names is http://www.godaddy.com .   Make it short and simple, flexible, and memorable. Often, your name alone is a great choice (unless your name is something like John Smith, and it’s already taken!).
