Tips for a Recent Graduate headline
- Drop 'Aspiring' — name the role and back it with real coursework/projects.
- Include your degree + year; it signals you're early-career on purpose, not vague.
- Front-load the role and your top skills in the first ~50 characters — that's what shows in search before it truncates.
- These are templates — swap in your real skills and never claim one you don't have.
