Section 1: Introduction and Contact
In this opening segment, I introduced myself briefly. A short yet impactful ‘About Me’ set the tone, followed by essential contact information. What added a unique touch was including feedback from colleagues — a personalized touch that shows how others perceive me.
Section 2: Mapping My Professional Journey
This segment delved into the heart of my professional journey. I mapped out my educational background, highlighting where I studied and worked. But it wasn’t just about listing experiences; I used FigJam’s canvas to showcase the skills I had acquired along the way visually. The combination of text and visuals added depth to my journey.
