Apologies if this is in the wrong section, first post and all :P
Hey guys, I have about a year left of college and I'm starting to work on my online portfolio. I was wondering if the domain name plays an influence in my getting a job or not?
The .com name I wanted was taken but a .net name was available. Does the .com or .net play a role at all?
I wanted to keep the domain as short as possible for easy remembrance. Any advice for choosing a domain name?
What do you guys think?
