Creating your Professional Story on Cirkled In
So let’s get started. If you do not have an account already, you can create one for free at www.cirkledin.com.
Carousel of Images: Say More with Less
At the top of your profile, you’ll see an image carousel. A picture is worth a thousand words. It’s the easiest way to say more with less.
Upload images that highlight your talents. Show yourself playing a sport, performing music, or volunteering in your community. Strong visuals create a lasting impression on anyone who visits your profile.
You can also watch our FAQ video to learn how to upload files.
Steps: Click the “+” button. Select a file from your computer or OneDrive. Upload it to your profile. You can add up to 30 images to showcase yourself in action.
Say More with Less – with pictures!
Profile Picture: Putting a Face to Your Name
Your profile picture is the first thing people see when they visit your profile, and it represents who you are. We recommend choosing a picture that shows your upper body or a full-size image for now.
Steps: Click on the pencil button on the profile picture on the top left side and upload a picture of your own.

Who am I: Telling the World About You
In the “Who am I” section, we encourage you to tell the world about yourself. Share your grade level, school, and any academic achievements or extracurricular activities you’re involved in. You can also mention any passions or interests that make you unique and authentic, like playing video games or participating in chess tournaments.
Hobbies: Sharing Your Interests and Passions
The “Hobbies” section is your opportunity to share your interests and passions. Whether it’s watching TV, playing video games, or playing volleyball with friends, we believe that everyone has at least a couple of things they love doing. This is a free text section, which means you get to tell the world who you are in your own words.
Something I’m Proud Of: Sharing Your Achievements
Finally, the “Something I’m Proud Of” section is an opportunity for you to share a recent accomplishment or achievement that you’re proud of. We encourage you to share even the smallest of accomplishments, like helping someone at a store or winning a math competition. By sharing your achievements, you inspire others to reach their own goals.
Steps: Click on the pencil and add information on who you are.
