10 Calls With Members Last Week, Here's What We're Getting Wrong

Most of you have the really impressive experience, but your packaging is holding you back from the roles you actually want.

I’ve put together this Miro board to show you exactly how to structure your professional presence. If you want to stand out, stop making these three mistakes:

1. Your Portfolio is a Maze (or non-existent) 🧩

If a hiring manager has to hunt for your work, they’ve already moved on.

The Fix: Your portfolio needs to be extremely simple to navigate. I always recommend Lovable.
Organise by Skills first. As you can see on my portfolio example, a user should be able to click a specific skill and immediately see the projects and results tied to that skill.

2. Your LinkedIn is "Tell," not "Show" 🎥

Most of your profiles are just walls of text. We want to see a story emerge from your LinkedIn.

Spend at least 20 minutes auditing your profile and it will be 10X better.
Put your portfolio on the featured part of your LinkedIn.
Add images, videos, and projects. Visual storytelling proves your impact.

3. Your CV is an Autobiography 📄

Keep it tight. Even if you feel your experience is "too much" for one page—aim for one page anyway.

* The Filter: Ask yourself: "What does the hiring manager actually need to see?" *

Hard Metrics: Stop talking around your results. I don’t want to hear that you "helped grow the brand." I want to see: * What was the percentage growth? * How many leads did you generate? * How many sales were closed because of it?

The Bottom Line: Hiring managers are busy. Make it impossible for them to miss your value by being clear, visual, and data-driven.

Check out the layout in the Miro board and let's get those profiles updated! 🚀

P.s. Tomorrow I will talk about how to fix the issue of feeling like you don't have enough experience for a portfolio.
