Recruiters searching for AI talent are scanning dozens of profiles quickly. A profile that requires careful reading to understand your relevance loses to one that's instantly clear.
Headline: be specific, not clever
"AI Engineering Student | Built and deployed 2 LLM-powered projects" beats a vague "Passionate about technology and innovation" — specificity is what gets you found in searches.
Featured section: show, don't just tell
Pin your strongest project with a link and a one-line description. A profile with visible, clickable proof of work stands out from one that's purely text claims.
About section: lead with what you can do
Recruiters skim the first two lines. Lead with your strongest concrete skill or project, not a generic personal introduction — save the personality for later in the section.
Keep it updated as you learn
A profile that hasn't changed in a year signals stagnation, fairly or not. Regular small updates — a new project, a new skill — keep it looking active and current.
