Thumbs up Changing career
Hello All,
I have been interested in web design and development for a number of years, the first site i did was in 1996 (using frontpage), it was clunky but i published it!
i gave up my work a couple of years ago (food process technolgy) due to family commitments. I started a course in January (CIW website manager) which has impoved my HTML and XHTML as well as learning Javascript and Perl, I am now about half way through the course and getting to the point where I need to apply my newly learnt skills. My objective is now to build a portfolio of URLs and extend my skill set
If anyone needs help with site development and design etc I am ready willing and able!!
If you would like to see my CV (which needs to be updated to include JavaScript and Perl don't hesitate click now!! http://uk.geocities.com/hondapants3/

Re: Changing career
Welcome aboard, DP. Head down and just go for it.

It's useful to put your CV on-line: lots do it now, but as it's your public face and a first impression, it needs to stand out. You have a number of typos and grammatical errors.

Good luck with the career change!

Re: Changing career
I wonder if I can get any certifications at my age.
I know I can do those microsoft certified professional ones.
They like £150 to do though I think
Welcome by the way, and good luck !

Re: Changing career
I wouldn't worry about doing any certifications at your age Alex, you've got enough to do with school work and exams!

Re: Changing career
Well I have a tap dancing one and...oh, you mean web-related right? No, I'm preferring to just teach myself what I need to know now, with the help of Webforumz of course

Is that you in your avatar?

Jacob, I think you will need to purchase a cage for Vanessa (as the closet seems to be awfully full at the moment).
