FYI: Portfolios and resumes are a lot harder to create than they look.

For the past few days I have been working on both my portfolio and a resume, both of which are so much more difficult than I had anticipated. I am terrible at making myself look good. I get all worried and start second guessing myself. As I was just telling one of my friends, I believe it has a great deal to do with my lack of self confidence. I know I am good at what I do, and I know people like what I do… but I can’t seem to say it. As I said i start second guessing myself and then I just get discouraged.

Anyway, my friend David has been helping me a lot with the resume, as he (IMO) is an expert when it comes to these things. I am almost 100% satisfied with it at this moment, it sounds and looks great. It makes me feel so vulnerable knowing that people will read it and judge me on it. Same goes with my portfolio, I mean that’s my work, what if people hate it? This is so intimidating.

I know that some of you out there are asking; “why are you doing this Nick? Don’t you have a job?” Well yes I do, but as you know my dream has been to be a full time graphic designer. I want to get away from just freelance, I want to make this my career. I will be going back to school soon and I figure, well why not put my name out there now? It may or may not lead anywhere, but if it does that would be awesome. God has been revealing so much to my wife and I, and I really think this is where God wants me to go. I have to stop waiting now and take the actions to get there.

So, I will be happy to take any and all suggestions from you guys on my portfolio. I want it to look killer. Right now I feel it is kind of “blah”. So here I am being completely vulnerable to you guys, let me know what you think, and please be completely honest. Thank you.
