For my visual resume, I focused on my skills as an Eagle Scout and the timeline of everything I had to do to get there, with all of the steps I took along the way and the time I put into it. I do not have many other skills when it comes to job work; I have not had a job outside of my work study because I have been busy volunteering with my Scout Troop every summer, and most employers for people my age would not want me to take a week off to go help with my Troo, especially for a summer job. Aloso not having a car is a big trouble. I wanted to tell the story of the steps I took to Eagle and the different skills and merit badges I earned.
I do not have a social media presence, so I could not really incorporate that as an option, but I did put in the link to one of my demo websites I made. My AHA moment came when i was planning out the objects I wanted to put on to the page and my thought process in my sketchbook shows the time I took to ty and plan it out. I have so much work due this week I needed to get this done sooner rather than later.
I used a website called Canva to assist in helping layout the general items. I am not good at any sort of art and my use of photoshop to make a timeline and a other objects shows that. Canva helped with making the layout alright, but still it is not the best and I would not be showing this to an actual employer. I would write up a regular resume, which would still be quite bare.
I DO NOT WANT this to be shown in class. This is my personal work and if people want to snoop around here they can, but I do not want this to be shown in class at all.

PASS TOKEN. Excellent work incorporating all the specifications into an aesthetic infographic on your skills. One thing to note is that, as a web developer, your work should definitely have an online presence. Not saying you need a “social media” presence, but potential clients will want to see your web development projects. Nice that you have the website, and now you also have your blogwork portfolio. Depending on whether you want to work on front end or back end, it also helps to have a github repository or demonstrated coding ability.

Also, you can always start a social media presence anonymously e,g, https://diseasecalleddebt.com/anonymous-blogger/ ). Nice work and great infographic!
