Steps to Endorsement
Once assigned a career coach, you’ll be able to take the necessary steps to gaining “endorsement” to apply
to Lambda leads (hiring partners interested in interviewing Lambda students).
“Endorsed” is a phrase we use for students who are currently in or have completed labs, and have taken
the career preparedness steps deemed necessary by their coach to progress their job search.
CHECKLIST FOR ARTIFACTS NEEDED FOR ENDORSEMENT:
❏ An up-to-date and edited R ESUME that aligns with your career track. Resume should have:
❏ A “ skills” section with all the technologies you have learned listed.
❏ A “projects” section featuring the following information:
Project Title (hyperlink to deployed project)
One sentence to describe what the project does
Tech Stack | Tech | Tech | Tech
• Sentence describing deadline (# of weeks), how many # on the team, and your contributions
• Sentence describing how you used a technology
• GitHub Repo/Frontend/Backend link (optional)
❏ An “employment” section with b ullets describing transferable skills from jobs worked in the
past 5-10 years.
❏ An “education” s ection featuring Lambda School and previous schooling.
❏ Sections deemed necessary by coach, such as: summary, achievements, awards, activities, etc.
❏ Up-to-date LINKEDIN (LI) profile, including:
❏ A clear h
eadshot a

over photo.
❏ Personal summary to let people get to know you. Reference your portfolio site here.
❏ Work experiences, w
ith descriptions (only include Lambda under work if you were a PM).
❏ Projects, which LI categorizes under “accomplishments” section. Highlight personal, build
week, and labs projects, with a link for any deployed projects!
❏ Education, featuring Lambda School and any previous schooling.
❏ Green GITHUB with quality contributions.
Coaches will periodically check your GitHub to ensure you make contributions throughout your job
search. Update GitHub on a weekly basis with quality contributions. If your GitHub goes grey to long,
you can become unendorsed.
❏ A PORTFOLIO site featuring a professional domain name, completed by the last day of labs.
No Netlify, GitHub, or subdomain addresses. Purchase your own domain name through a site like
namecheap.com. If you need financial assistance to buy a domain, connect with your career coach.
Your portfolio should be up and running by your last day of labs.
