Course Complete

Create a professional profile. 

  • Choosing a professional profile picture: Use a clear, high-resolution image where you are dressed professionally and appear approachable.  
    *
    Note: Cell phone photos are acceptable, but don't include others and make sure the background is simple and non-distracting.
  • Writing an attention-grabbing headline: Summarize your expertise or career goals in a concise and impactful manner. 

Example: "Aspiring Data Analyst | Skilled in Python & SQL | Passionate About Turning Data into Insights."

  • Crafting a compelling summary that highlights career goals: Use the first-person perspective to describe your background, achievements, and aspirations. 

Example: "As a recent graduate with a passion for data analytics, I specialize in transforming raw data into actionable insights."
