Why Career Skills Like Resumes & LinkedIn Optimization Matter

Securing an internship or landing a dream job isn’t just about good academic scores. Employers today look for candidates who can present their skills, achievements, and professional goals effectively.

1. ATS-Friendly Resumes:
   • Many organizations use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to scan resumes before a recruiter even sees them.
   • A resume that is properly formatted and keyword-optimized ensures students don’t get filtered out before the shortlisting stage.
   • It also makes applications appear professional and easy to evaluate.
2. LinkedIn Optimization:
   • LinkedIn has become a digital résumé, portfolio, and networking platform rolled into one.
   • A well-optimized profile increases visibility among recruiters, hiring managers, and industry professionals.
   • It helps students showcase certifications, projects, internships, and accomplishments while building a network that supports long-term growth.
