Thomas Power is Chairman of Ecademy, and has perhaps one of the the most-visited profiles online at the community. However, Thomas asked me to makeover his profile last month. Why was that?
The answer is that Thomas was objective, and recognised that he was not the best person to author his profile. Being objective about what to include and how to structure your own profile is very difficult. Most people can not be objective when describing themselves - that’s why so many autobiographies are unreadable.
Your profile is your first and often your last chance to make an impression on Ecademy. No matter how impressive your contribution to discussions, clubs, assisting others - your online profile is the touchstone and reference point. It’s a combination of a sales pitch, a personal presentation, a business card, a brochure, a personal statement, a list of recommendations, a mini web-site, and a wave from across the room. It has a lot of work to do. Is your profile doing you proper justice?
