The main offender on my LinkedIn profile is the word creative, but I feel like it's fitting, because I like everything from illustration, to knitting and sewing, to animation and model making. I think there isn't one thing of these that I'm amazing at I'm just okay at all of them, but that's because I spread my time across all of them equally. I think this is justified from my skills department, so I think it's okay to leave this is in my profile. However I am continuously wanting to self improve my profile, because it's proven to have recruiters look at it for new blood, I think I just need to get a showcase of work ready to plaster it across a website and all over my social media like a branding to stand out a bit more.
