Showcase your organization skills by grouping information onto specific pages. For example, you can include a page about you, a page about your education, a page about your work experience or any extracurricular activities, a page about any Salesforce apps or projects you’ve completed, and maybe even some photos to show your school campus, community, or volunteer participation. The number of pages you choose and what content you put on them is up to you. For this project, you add the following three pages.

• About Me
• Experience
• Education

Now that you’re thinking about how to group your information to show off your awesome organizational skills, let’s create the pages.
