# Be brutally honest

## Summary

A data scientist seeking career advice requests feedback on their GitHub profile to improve their chances of landing a role at FAANG or other prestigious companies.

I need you to give me an honest review what improvements you would like to see in my profile: [My GitHub landing page](https://github.com/crimsonKn1ght)

> There are lots of items on your Github page and web page that appear to be links but they don't really go anywhere. I would ensure they either have relevant tags/content associated with them or make them completely static.

> You have a few solid projects, an obvious target category, and the ability to showcase your work. The main recommendations I could offer:
>
> 1. Update repository taglines - These are the short descriptions that will explain the repository or tool to potential employers and managers. It would be helpful to rewrite these to be more professional and less informal.
> 2. Professional E-mail and Domain - This is potentially optional, but can show a level of polish that is highly desirable. Gmail is free, but your own domain can go further.
