When sharing your projects on LinkedIn or other social media:

• Focus on the skills, technologies, problems solved or value to the stakeholders rather than the specific details of the project brief or assessment criteria provided by Turing College. This approach highlights your capabilities and the practical application of your knowledge.

• Engage with your network by sharing your project achievements and learnings. This not only showcases your technical skills but also your ability to communicate effectively and reflect on your work. Use hashtags and keywords relevant to your project and field to increase visibility.

• Regularly update your LinkedIn profile and other social media platforms with new projects and achievements. This keeps your profile current and demonstrates your ongoing commitment to learning and professional development.

Remember, the way you present your projects on GitHub, LinkedIn, or other social media can significantly impact your professional image and open up networking and job opportunities. Ensure that all shared content respects the confidentiality and professional presentation guidelines as outlined.

For specific programs:

Keep in mind that using Capstone Project is the best and our recommended choice for your personal portfolio. However, in some cases, if that's not possible and you wish to showcase non-capstone sprint projects to potential employers from your GitHub account, please consider the following rules:

  • Create a new repository on your private GitHub account, where you would share your project

  • It is prohibited to mention specific sprint names, evaluation criteria, or project instructions, everything that is connected with Turing College. This is for several reasons:

    • to avoid other finding and reusing your work during studies

    • in order to make your work more professional

Instead of listing tasks provided by Turing College for the project, you might outline your project in six steps, or simply state the project's objective in your own terms and describe your findings.

  • Ensure the project is not publicly accessible after your job search, as it could be used by others as a template for their own work. After your job search period, make your repositories private and inaccessible to others. (This applies only to non-Capstone projects.)

For the Visualization part involving BI tools, note that the process varies by tool. For example, once a project is saved to Tableau Public, it can be easily downloaded if you don’t make some specific changes, so take precautions to avoid this.

P.S. If you wish to mention the Data Set you used, feel free to provide some information about it, such as its source. For example, that it's from "Kaggle" or if it is an "AdventureWorks" data set, you can specify that, by linking to the source, for instance, "AdventureWorks Data set."

Please consider the following rules:

    • to avoid other finding and reusing your work during studies

    • in order to make your work more professional

  • A good approach would be to set up a new, personal repository and upload only the files that are directly relevant. By uploading the entire repository from the Capstone Project, you risk revealing tasks from Turing. It also indicates that the work wasn’t entirely a personal endeavor but part of your studies. While it's completely fine to discuss this during interviews, it’s not necessary to make it explicitly clear in the repository itself.

  • Ensure the project is not publicly accessible after your job search, as it could be used by others as a template for their own work. After your job search period, make your repositories private and inaccessible to others. (This applies only to non-Capstone projects.)

  • As some learners may want to set up a portfolio of personal projects, ensure it is not publicly accessible to those not intended, as it could be used by others as a template for their own work.
