Last week the Academies of W.H Croxford all met for the first time this year! We all participated in team building exercises and learned how to properly build an online portfolio. We had several guests explain key aspects of a portfolio such as: Head-shots, Bios, and How to present ourselves in a positive light to future employers and associates, using an online portfolio. One of our guest speakers was Veronica Funk. Veronica is a public figure and artist that has been featured in galleries and magazines all over Canada. She taught us about the importance of a positive presence online and what people look for while they research you. I feel as though this is an important skill for developing a presence on the internet that will positively impact future endeavors. We also were given the opportunity to take professional head-shots and create a bio for our website. Overall the trip was fun and I feel as though it was important, but it did drag on towards the end. If i were to do something differently i would split the retreat into half day increments allowing us to absorb the different information more effectively.
