Digital Portfolio: LinkedIn
It's not enough to just have a resume, but you must also have a professional online presence or portfolio of your education, and work experiences. The most popular and accepted way to showcase your experiences is through LinkedIn.
​

Creating Your LinkedIn Profile
Your LinkedIn profile is a professional landing page for you to manage your own, personal brand. It’s a great way for you to tell people who you are and what you do by displaying a general history of your professional experiences and achievements.

Your LinkedIn Profile is a working document that you will be updating constantly as you have changes in your academic, internship and work experiences, and extracurricular activities.
