Creating Well-Made Career Assets

[OSP123]

• Students all go through the process of creating a portfolio, resume', Github, and Linkedin profile.
• However, many of these career assets might not be up to par and may contain issues like poorly-formatted readme files in the Github repos, Linkedin profiles with incorrect verbiage for the technologies covered, portfolios with bugs, etc.
• Having a set of design guides for these issues could help students with getting their first jobs.

Coop Daniel Cuperman [2 minutes ago] github: clean out old shit repos, add readmes to everything, leads into readme writing

Omar Patel [< 1 minute ago] Yup, exactly. They can also port their crappy, but still loved repos to a private repo via bitbucket or gitlab.

Also, pin items to Github that are their best projects.

For Linkedin, be sure to include a summary of what they want; links to portfolio and Github; add experience and projects made
