Right now I am looking for jobs crazily. I am getting up every morning and sitting at the kitchen table (cause I do not have my desk set up here) with my computer and searching for jobs. I have been home for a little over a week and it has been alright but I am ready to get into a routine.
The good thing about all my down time is that I have had time to do things for myself and for my brand as a designer. I have had the opportunity to make business cards to match my resume using my own personal logo. I am going to make a leave behind so that when I do go on an interview I can leave something with the employer. The thing I am most excited about that I did was buy my own domain name. courtneylong.com was available and I purchased it. I am still in the process of learning web but since that was available I got it! I bought my web space this morning and I am ready to learn HTML and CSS (mainly). I have a two websites up right now actually. The one I created as a student at Western Kentucky University is still up. It is old with old projects and we built it using dreamweaver. My new website is made from a free website where you can pick a template and upload JPEGs of your work. It is perfect for what I need right now. I just need my work to be easily viewed. As I learn more about web then I will create my own website matching my logo/brand as a designer.
check out both websites
