Well, I have a bit of minor experience in back-end web things - my PHP and Perl are okayish, certainly okay for the web, and I've played around with getting my own server running on my Mac, fiddling with the config files and so on. I maintained an intranet site at work pretty much on my own; apart from that, no real professional experience.
I'm not sure that my current site is terrrribly good to show to potential employers, considering, er, some of the content. However, I am working on a portfolio site at the moment under a different name, which I was considering turning into a sort of general gadget/website/software review/opinion type blog, with a few show-off web toys and pretend sites. I think getting interest that way would be a good idea. (I've had one job offer in the past from my actual blog.)
Which takes me on to the technical writing thing. I'm very interested in that, because I can write about technical issues and, importantly, have some history of having done so professionally. I'm known as one of the few programmers who actually doesn't mind writing documentation, I've collaborated on writing training, I've worked explaining techie issues to non-techies and vice versa... I reckon I could do that, and the options for getting into other writing areas sound good too. PM on its way then. |
