Your portfolio looks
boring on LinkedIn.
And it’s not your fault. LinkedIn wasn’t designed for humanitarian and development professionals.
It flattens your work into job titles and dates. It does not highlight the thematic areas you focus on, collaborators you work with, contexts you operate in or regions where you have experience. Nor does it showcase your roles on different projects.
Build a sector-specific portfolio in under 30 minutes.
- Answer a few simple prompts. Describe your projects, roles and contexts instead of forcing everything into a CV box.
- Capture the way you really work. Evaluations, context pieces, data projects and stakeholder work all have a dedicated place.
- Share one link that tells the whole story. Send it to recruiters, firms and organisations when you pitch or apply.
