Experience and education

Adding roles and schools, the six employment types, and why attaching skills to a role does more than attaching them to your profile.

View as .md

Experience and education are entry lists - each role or school is its own record with its own dates, description and skills.

Adding a role#

Each entry takes a title, a company, dates, and one of six employment types:

Full time · Part time · Contract · Freelance · Internship · Apprenticeship

Company, school and location fields autocomplete. Picking the suggestion rather than typing a variant is worth doing: matched entities render with their logo and group correctly.

Writing the description#

The same rules as a resume bullet, for the same reason - see writing good bullets.

The difference is that a profile is read more slowly than a resume and by people who are choosing whether to talk to you, so one specific paragraph beats five generic bullets.

Skills on a role#

You can attach skills to each individual role, not only to your profile as a whole.

Education#

Same shape: school, qualification, dates. Autocompleted, and worth picking the matched school so it renders consistently.

Order it the way your case reads best. A recent graduate leads with education; ten years in, it belongs below experience - see ordering your profile.
