Creating a résumé/portfolio website using Google Sites
Charles Hayward will give a presentation this Thursday on creating a résumé/portfolio website using free Google Sites.
The need for websites to highlight what a person has to offer to the marketplace is an essential tool for most of us engaged in career development. The options for creating a site can be overwhelming and sometimes expensive. Google Sites offers a free and fairly easy approach to getting your brand out there.
