Criteria Description Comments
First Impressions
  • Information organized and easy to read
  • High level of professionalism
  • Things that left an impression
  • Items that need any immediate revising (in any)
Your LinkedIn profile in professional and reflects an outstanding individual who is involved in their  community and has many skills in the field of Psychology. The profile is easy to understand and there is nothing that needs to be changed urgently.  
Profile Picture
  • Profile picture uploaded
  • Clear, high resolution picture
  • No to minimal distractions (e.g. very bright patterns, too much background noise) present
The picture shows your face clearly, and has a good neutral background. Your smile is welcoming. 
Headline and Summary
  • Headline and summary present
  • Captivating summary, and appropriate in length
  • Summary captures the author’s interests, experience, and personality
For the headline, perhaps consider including what you are a student of. Your summary is short but contains a lot of information. Maybe it will help others to get to know you a more by including things outside of the professional/academic world and talking about a project you’ve worked on.
Experience
  • Titles and dates present
  • Informative description to accompany each experience
  • Up to date experiences
Each experience is accompanied by a date and description. I’m not sure if it is necessary to state “Employee of *name of company*” at the beginning of each description. You have included recent work experiences, which shows to employers that you are involved in your field.
Education
  • Name of institution and program present and accurate
  • Involvements or award listed  
Name of school and program is present. Description of courses and personal achievements helps paint what you have gained from your degree.
Licenses, Certifications, Publications
  • Titles clear, and explanations provided if necessary
Not applicable.
Volunteer Experience 
  • Tasks performed listed
  • Names of organizations stated
Volunteer organizations and length of volunteering are listed. I noticed the descriptions here were shorter than your work experiences. Personally, I don’t feel that just because something is a volunteer position you should include less about it. Those experiences all sound very interesting.
Skills
  • Concise and accurate
Are there any other skills you could include? Your profile covered a lot of other ones! 
Grammar & Language
  • Professional language
  • Grammar checked thoroughly
Language is suitable for a Linked In profile. There are no visible spelling or grammar mistakes. 
Organization & Layout
  • Evident organization (e.g. chronological)
  • Consistent formatting 
  • If applicable, images and files are correctly attached
Chronological order helps organize your profile. Phrasings are consistent. Paraph-style descriptions are used throughout. 
Conclusion Concluding comments and overall impression  Your profile is complete and has a lot of information about your experiences. With one quick glance I believe employers will get a good sense of your fit for their company. I think the next step would be to:

  • Include some more details in the summary section
  • Fill out more information about some of your experiences
  • Grow your connections steadily

Strong profile overall. Thank you for sharing it with me!
