Show Me Your Web Presence

Your web-development resume should list web sites you've work on--your portfolio. Put links to sites and a description of what part you did yourself. Did you do the graphic design? Front end? Backend? Some specific feature?

Once you present a some good portfolio web sites, the next step is to show your general web presence. The following are great things to list on your resume:

• Your blog (if you maintain it)
• Your github account
• Open source projects to which you have contributed
• Online forums or communities to which you regularly visit to impart knowledge or participate in discussion
• Web sites for personal or side projects
• Code repositories such as Google Code, Sourceforge, or Snipplr
• Online tools you have created
• Your tech-related Twitter account
• Web sites for user groups you attend, especially if you have contributed to the web site

If you have none of these to list on your resumes, get with it!
