A Great Idea For Recent Grads From UMaryland at Baltimore

Take a look at this website highlighting some of UMd-Baltimore’s Class of 2010.   If I were a 2010 grad, I’d consider creating my own web page in similar fashion. I especially love these photos,  as they really bring out the humanity and personality of each student.  The size and scale renders well on a computer monitor and is much preferable to a head-shot.  One could highlight experiences, interests, and even add a brief video self-interview or a link to a resume.  It is good to stand out, especially when everyone else is doing the same thing.  Don’t be afraid to highlight your strengths and interests to potential employers. Many young adults struggle when talking about themselves because they are over-sensitive about self-promotion. Remember, there is a difference between having clarity about what you are passionate about and being a braggart.
