Focus on presenting a clear, professional, and consistent profile across both LinkedIn and your CV.

- Use a recent, high-quality profile photo and a concise headline that reflects your academic and career goals.
- Write a summary highlighting your key skills, achievements, and aspirations relevant to your target program.
- List your education and work experience accurately, including dates, degrees, job titles, and key accomplishments.
- Add skills and seek endorsements or recommendations from supervisors or professors.
- Highlight major projects, certifications, or research that align with your intended field of study.

Ensure your CV and LinkedIn details match to present a unified profile to admissions committees. For tailored feedback, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
