@parker1628 I also feel like along with being robotic it would start to feel braggy/fake.

The Skype interview article talked about having a good background...I’m still not completely sure what that would be. Just a plain wall? #JTCR10Chat

[Emma Kilpatrick @EmmaKilpatrick8]

The first article mentioned a personal story, which I hadn’t really thought about a lot. That’s definitely a good thing to prepare before an interview. #JTCR10Chat

@hyly_b For my profession specifically, I would include the importance of fieldwork, and the fieldwork I have done.

[Emma Kilpatrick @EmmaKilpatrick8]

@jmasarie24 I totally agree...I wasn’t really certain how long the summary should be so that’s definitely helpful.

@NickBaker510 Those experiences seem like they will definitely make your profile unique!

The brand I want for my LinkedIn page is one that shows experience, professionalism, and also my personality. #LinkedInJTCR10

[Emma Kilpatrick @EmmaKilpatrick8]

I think that a good tip from the first article is to have a custom URL for your LinkedIn page rather than the generic string of letters and numbers. I feel like this definitely makes you a stand out. #LinkedInJTCR10

@hyly_b I think that the first resume is the most effective, because it’s pleasing to the eye, not too wordy, yet still gives all the most important information. #LinkedInJTCR10

@NickBaker510 This is extremely true and also a little daunting. Just goes to show how much attention to detail we have to put into cover letters.

[Emma Kilpatrick @EmmaKilpatrick8]

@JulieDauer33 I was surprised about that too. It definitely makes sense, and puts you ahead of the rest in a very simple and easy way.

[Emma Kilpatrick @EmmaKilpatrick8]

It is definitely important to show that you really tried in your cover letter. From the introduction (using the potential employers name) to a personalized sign off. #jtcr10

[Emma Kilpatrick @EmmaKilpatrick8]

I think one really important thing to remember is that employers are looking to be able to trust you, so you have to be able to come off as trustworthy just from one simple resume. #jtcr10
