Chapter 12. Featured Section

The Featured section can be useful, but only if it adds credibility.

It can include:

• Portfolio links

• Media features

• Presentations

• Project examples

• Professional articles

• Case studies

• Websites

• Recommendations

• Downloadable documents

For job seekers, this section should be used carefully; do not upload sensitive documents or anything containing confidential information.

Good uses include:

• Professional portfolio

• Personal website

• Published article

• Project summary

• Case study

• Speaker profile

• Brochure or public-facing example of work

Ask:

Does this strengthen my credibility?

Does it support my target role?

Would I be comfortable with recruiters and employers seeing it?

If yes, include it, if not, leave it blank; a blank Featured section is better than a weak one.
