Do you keep everything (certificates, transcripts, recommendation letters, contest results, offer letters, etc.) in one place, or is it spread across Google Drive / email / Notion / random folders on your laptop?
When you apply for jobs, internships or clients, what do you actually share beyond a resume and LinkedIn link? Do you ever send anything that shows live stats (LeetCode, GitHub, revenue, client count, etc.) together with evidence?
If you had a really simple personal page, would you prefer just a list of links to your profiles, or a few big tiles that show key numbers (problems solved, projects shipped, revenue, whatever) with the related documents/screenshots behind them? Why?
What’s the most painful part of keeping your “career story” updated: tracking your metrics, organizing documents, or just finding the motivation to update things?
I personally love Notion - has enough flexibility and tooling to support a lot of different ways to track work history, projects etc. A simple Google Doc or Google Sheet would work fine too.
The important thing is to just document everything that goes along in your professional life. So that when you come it comes time to update your resume or prepare for an interview, you've got lots of material to work with.
