Tips

1. Think about your story.
Who are you? What are your career goals? What do you do? What are you trying to say about yourself? Make sure you start with this story which becomes the thread throughout your profile.

2. Share your humblebrags.
What accomplishments are you most proud of? These can be professionally or personal. Nothing is too small. You can always tell stories to showcase how you think (strategically/creatively), enthusiasm, work ethic, communication, teamwork, etc. A story like starting a chass club and going into detail can speak volumes.

3. Give context and details.
Everyone wants to hear the details about everything. As a general rule of thumb, the more details the better. If you've traveled around the world for 90 days or led a game-changing initiative at your last company, give us the details!

4. Upload a clear picture.
Share a very clear picture of yourself. Everyone loves to put a name to a face.
