Recruiters see a lot of resumes, and most of them look alike. What makes one stand out isn't a fancier font. It's a link they can click to see you do the work.
A student portfolio link is one URL that holds your projects, skills, certificates and contact details. You can put it on your resume, LinkedIn and every application.

Projects, not adjectives
"Hard-working team player" tells a recruiter nothing. "Built a bus-timing app used by 200 classmates" tells them a lot. If you don't have numbers, describe what it does in plain words.
Where to use it
- The top of your resume
