Improve your LinkedIn profile and publish 2 posts
Recruiters check LinkedIn before they check resumes. Build your profile with AI drafts you rewrite until they sound like you, publish 2 real posts days apart, and report the real numbers — the goal is learning what your audience responds to, not going viral.

The work brief
- 01Create/overhaul your LinkedIn profile: headline that says what you do, About section with a story, your micro-internship work as projects. Use AI to draft, then make it sound like you.
- 02Write and PUBLISH post 1: something you built or learned recently, with specifics.
- 032-3 days later, publish post 2 in a different format (a lesson list, a mini case study, a question).
- 04After both have run 2+ days, screenshot the real analytics and compare what worked.
What you’ll produce4 deliverables
Submission standard
Submit your public profile URL, both posts as published, an analytics screenshot, and your comparison. Small real numbers are expected and fine. Also include your AI workflow — tools, best prompts, and what you changed from the AI’s output. Add a direct public link to one of your posts, and make sure the analytics screenshot shows your name, both posts, and their dates.
Your public LinkedIn profile URL
Public linkRequiredBoth posts exactly as published (with publish dates)
Written responseRequiredScreenshots of the real impressions/reactions for both posts (one per post)
Screenshot must show YOUR profile name/handle, both posts, and their dates so numbers tie to your account.
Image uploadRequiredWhich post worked better, your theory why, and what you’d post third
Written responseRequired
You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.
What you must submit as proof1 proof item · Required
This brief requires evidence an AI can’t fabricate.
Public link to one of your two published posts
A direct, login-free link the grader can open to confirm the post is really live.
Public linkRequired
Submissions without this evidence cannot be submitted.
Protect other people in your proof. Blur faces, names, phone numbers and email addresses before you upload, and refer to anyone you worked with by role or number ("Listener 1", "the stall owner"). Your proof is only ever used to check your work — it is never published, never appears on your certificate, and is never shown in your public portfolio.

Output criteria
Actually published
40%Profile is live and both posts really went up, days apart.
Content craft
40%Posts are specific, personal, and edited past AI-generic.
Learning from data
20%The comparison uses the real numbers honestly.
Required proof checks
Live posts, consistent numbers
The post link is live, the analytics show your own handle and the post dates, and the numbers match the submitted posts. If the link is dead/private, the analytics don’t show your handle+dates, or figures contradict the posts, certification is held for review.
How we grade your AI usage30% of your score
Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
