Build from evidence

  • Headline: role direction plus real strengths
  • About: current focus, evidence and next direction
  • Education: accurate course and dates
  • Projects: problem, contribution, method and result
  • Experience: genuine responsibilities and outputs

Connect with purpose

  • Start with university alumni
  • Read a person's profile before contacting them
  • Write a short, specific connection note
  • Ask for insight, not a job
  • Follow up respectfully once

Keep every claim supportable

Do not inflate titles, dates, responsibilities, results, qualifications or experience. Future Leaders may help structure genuine evidence but will not create it.
