LinkedIn Warrior
Build a sharp LinkedIn presence for Stellenbosch CS students: clear headline, projects, media, and professional etiquette.
Create and Secure Your Profile: Sign up or log in, add a professional photo, and enable 2FA. Set your headline to include your role, tech stack, and location (e.g., “CS Student | Full-stack | Stellenbosch”).
Write a Sharp About Section: In 4–5 lines, cover your interests, languages, recent projects, and what you’re looking for (internships, research, freelance).
Add Experience and Education: Include internships, labs, society roles, and key coursework. Use bullet outcomes (what you built, shipped, improved).
Show Projects with Media: Link to your portfolio and GitHub. Add screenshots, short demos, or architecture diagrams. Tag relevant skills without keyword stuffing.
Connect and Engage: Connect with classmates, lecturers, and meetup peers. Add short personal notes when sending requests. Comment with insights; share learnings from events and projects.
Keep It Fresh and Professional: Post brief updates (milestones, takeaways, demos). Revisit headline/About as you grow. Avoid confidential content and keep tone respectful.
