Overview

Your CareerTruss profile is the first thing employers see when reviewing your application. A complete, accurate, and up-to-date profile helps employers better understand your skills, education, projects, and career interests.

Keep your profile updated

Your profile isn't something you complete once and forget. As you gain new skills, projects, certifications, or experience, update your profile so employers always see your latest accomplishments.

What to include

  • Personal information
  • Education
  • Skills
  • Projects & experience
  • Portfolio and external links
  • Career interests

Building your profile

  1. Complete your personal information

    Add your name, profile details, location, resumes and a short introduction about yourself.
  2. Add your education

    Include your institution, degree, field of study, and expected graduation year so employers can better understand your academic background.
  3. List your skills

    Add technical and non-technical skills that accurately represent your abilities. Focus on skills you can confidently demonstrate.
  4. Showcase your work

    Include projects, internships, freelance work, competitions, certifications, or other achievements that demonstrate practical experience.
  5. Add external links

    Connect your portfolio, GitHub, LinkedIn, Behance, Medium, or other professional profiles where appropriate. This gives the employer an extra look at you.

Career Score

CareerTruss evaluates your profile using the AMS or commonly said as Career Score, helping you identify areas that can strengthen your profile before applying to internships.

Tip

A more complete profile helps employers evaluate your application more effectively. Review your Career Score regularly and improve the areas it highlights.

Common mistakes

Missing education details, broken portfolio links, outdated projects, or an empty introduction can make it harder for employers to evaluate your application.
