Hi Jen,
Thank you for sharing your LinkedIn profile, this is well-done and utilizes many of the tools that LinkedIn provides. Please find my review for the profile below:
Initial Impressions:
Initial impressions are great! The profile headline clearly indicates a currently held position, Software Engineer Co-op at Kabam, current affiliations of Kabam and UBC, and necessary contact information including the direct link to the LinkedIn profile as well as a professional email address.
- One quick suggestion, including a computer science student status in the headline may add additional clarity.
Profile Photo:
The profile photo is sufficiently clear in resolution and professional in appearance, good choice.
About Summary:
The summary is both professional and personable. While the summary mentions skills such as software engineering and programing, a possible improvement could include:
- Using specific key words and naming the programming languages and tools you have experience in for improved profile visibility during key word searches.
Experience and Education:
This section is well populated with work experience at various software engineering positions and current education at UBC, good job.
Volunteer Experience:
- If any volunteer work was performed, adding it may be beneficial even if the work was not completely relevant to the professional field.
Skills:
The rest of the profile suggests a highly skilled individual; however, the section for acquired skills appears to be missing.
- Including a skills section will improve profile visibility, especially since computer science is a field of many specific skills.
Recommendations:
Obtaining three excellent and relevant recommendations at this stage in your education is a great achievement, well-done!
Accomplishments:
Thank you for including relevant courses in the accomplishments section. A suggestion:
- Including links to personal projects can help demonstrate programming capability.
Final Impressions and Conclusion:
Overall, the use of LinkedIn’s platform and completeness of the profile was great. All sections were easy to read and follow. Below is a list of the suggestions for improving the profile:
- Adding student details to the profile headline
- Using specific key words to name programming languages or tools in the summary to improve profile visibility
- Including any volunteer experience if applicable
- Including a skills section for relevant skills in the industry
- Including personal projects within the accomplishments section to prove ability
I hope my feedback helps improve your LinkedIn profile, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best,
