[LUG] OT - presenting a cv and portfolio of qualifications and work etc

[Paul Sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I know this is slightly off topic but I would guess that someone here 
has used their technical expertise to do something similar.

I have a A4 folder with all my certificates in, from GCSE through to any 
recent ones I have gained.

I am in the process of scanning these in with the view to creating some 
sort of multi media, cdrom to demonstrate my skills etc, that employers 
can look at, this will have the scans of these certificates on the cd 
along with other items such as photos, web links etc.

The idea is really so I can either send a portfolio to potential 
employers or produce this as evidence that I have the qualifications 
that I have put on my cv, it also brings this portfolio into the 21st 
century.

So far the average A4 scan size is roughly 2mb, so I can fit quite a few 
on to 1 cdrom,  (or get hold of smaller 8cm cd-r or similar and do it 
that way.

I was thinking of perhaps HYML,  with a set of directories in the root 
directory, and then a single html file in there that links everything 
together,

My camera can produce short videos, and I can put a collection of photos 
to demonstrate that I can use a camera, Perhaps take a few shots of me 
coaching rugby or generally working with children ( I am aware of the 
issues surrounding this and will take these in to account.

I thought by doing this it would look more impressive than taking along 
a folder, and I can then leave this with anyone at interview (if they 
want a copy) so they can browse through later,

Has anyone here produced anything similar.? How popular is this?

thanks for any help

Paul
