In PreprLabs, your profile page is where you highlight your skills, projects, and achievements to employers, instructors and peers.

Depending on your privacy settings, you can use it as a portfolio that ties your skills directly to your submissions on PreprLabs.

Learn how to control the visibility of your profile in this article.

You can set your profile to share the following information:

  • Personal details: Information that gives visitors an idea of your approach to work and learning, including your Bio, Cover Letter and Resume.

  • Experience: Your prior work history.

  • Education: Where you have studied.

  • Certifications: Any professional certifications you have earned.

  • Patents: Any patents filed under your name. Great for innovators.

  • Skills: Any professional skills that you want to highlight.

Your profile also contains a section for Verified Skills. This section contains skills associated with projects you have completed on the platform. Clicking any skill tag in this section will reveal those projects, allowing you to link your declared skills to your actual work.

The Challenge History tab lists every Challenge you have taken part in on the platform.

The Projects tab lists every project you have started on the platform. You can also add and manage your projects in this view.

The Friends tab lets you view and manage friends and followers of your profile.

The Achievements tab provides a view of the awards you and your projects have earned.

The Skills tab provides an alternate view for you to manage which Skills you want to showcase on PreprLabs. You can learn more about this view in this article.

The Tags tab lets you follow and un-follow on the platform. Updates about tags you follow will show up in your Newsfeed.
