Your profile is a place to show off your skills, experience, and more. Add items ranging from experience, education, and skills to projects, awards, and more.

When you first navigate to the profile page, you will be presented with the option to upload a resume. Your resume will be used to automatically populate your profile with items.

To add items manually, you can use the Profile Pallette, accessible on the Top Bar on your profile page.

You can use the Profile Palette to add a littany of items to your profile. Items relevant to you will be recommended based on your selected job function and experience level, and other items can be added at any time. You can also search for relevant items to add.

Upon clicking an item in the profile palette (or clicking the

add button for a panel on your profile with existing items), you can create specific items.

Based on your selected items, fields will be made available for you to enter, to provide detail to your profile's viewers. When you create a primary item, such as an experience, education, or project, you have the option to add summaries to each item to explain them in sufficient detail. With the writer, you have access to a full-featured editor to write your summaries. You can use the editor to add rich text, lists, hyperlinks, and more to your summaries.
