How do YOU gauge (gage?) what you should be asking for, yearly, from a prospective employer, with regard to web design? I'm asking $40,000. Is that too much based on my resume? Or am I selling myself short? Can a person make that much working... cough... part time? Ahem. Last question (I swear... HA!). Do any of you find it easier to work for an employer, or to do freelance work? |

first thing I would want to see as a prospective employer is your online portfolio including refernces or links to websites that you have completed. |

I'll pretty much agree with VP, your resume doesn't tell me much about what you can do. I've got no idea what your graphic skills are, how clean your code is, etc. just from that. A solid portfolio is pretty much a requirement. With your experience 40k may be a bit much to ask in the current economy, don't quite know how you'd manage making that part-time. |

Petskull: I'm not sure how it works exactly, but our JQR's, since there weren't any navywide, were written here. They then had to be sent to CINCPACFLT and approved. Which they were. I assume you must have been in the army? If you're still there, I can send a copy. But I have to ask, would that be confusing terminology? |

Well, if you're going for a design job then yeah, you need something else. Definitely include the freelance jobs you're doing, but most importantly create a portfolio site that DOES show what you can do. You've got no limits when you're the client, so have fun with it. Do something you find interesting in a style you like, and use whatever technologies you feel will highlight your abilities and what you want to do the best. Hope that helps. |
