I read five very different e-portfolios. The first two were from people interested in the field of marketing. The first e-portfolio included a bio, school history, work experience, volunteer work, hobbies, "what's new", and contact info. I have to say that this was the nicest e-portfolio that I saw. It opened with a beautiful picture of Toronto, where the woman lives, and spoke extensively about not only her experience, but her personality. This is an e-portfolio that really shows a glimpse into the wants and desires of another human being. The second one I looked at was also from someone interested in marketing, and it included an about me, objective, a resume, work experience, links, and contact info. This was also a pretty extensive blog, with a lot of information about customer service experience, with an extensive resume. It wasn't quite as creative as the first one, but still interesting.
Next I looked at three photography e-portfolios. These were all pretty sparse on personal details, concentrating mostly on the pictures themselves. The first one had just different categories of pictures he had taken, the second one was a simple resume, and the third also had pictures. The third was by far the most interesting of the photography e-portfolios. It concentrated on pictures to do with tattoo art, and it included a page to make comments on each picture, and a forum. All of the e-portfolios were interesting, but definitely artistic e-portfolios focus more on the art itself, while professional e-portfolios focus on work experience, and often on interesting aspects of the individual's personality.

25 points. That's an interesting distinction between professional and artistic eportfolios, Anna. It sounds as if marketing is another field where the use of ePortfolios is really taking off (not too surprising, given the avalanche of new multimedia marketing formats now available). Obviously you would want to hire someone who is tech savvy and comfortable presenting/selling themselves online. Otherwise, how in the world are they going to sell anything else online either?
