A list of job titles is useful, but it cannot tell the whole story of a working life. I want the career section to record not only where I worked, but also the ideas, questions, and changes in practice I encountered along the way. That means building a record that can hold context as well as chronology.
Make room for context
A timeline can help readers orient themselves, especially when it is paired with notes about what was happening in the field. Accessibility and UX have histories worth understanding; today’s guidance did not appear fully formed. I can add that perspective without turning every page into a résumé.
Separate records from reflection
The Career page can give a clear overview, while a Record of Things can gather specific projects, writing, and other pieces of evidence as I prepare them. Reflection belongs beside those records, not in place of them. Keeping the two kinds of material distinct will help readers know what they are looking at.
Build it with care
I do not need to fill every gap before the archive is useful. I can add material gradually, check dates and details, and explain what a record does or does not show. The result should be honest about what I know and open about what I still want to document.
