Can a SoloLearn profile link be on a resume?

Quite simply, would you mention it on your resume? What if you earn any or all of these? A platinum badge, a complete pie chart, huge following or/and great win/loss %age?

@Mat, its not about the courses or certification though. A top profile could show interest towards programming, coding and yes, skill. It's just what I have assessed. Though there are quite a few years left before I sit for my first real job interview. What do I know, right? That's why I am asking you guys.

I agree with @Maart these Certificates absolutely mean NOTHING. because these are just a bunch of pictures that anyone can have, However if you show them a couple of good works or codes they'll see the "Skill" and that's what matters.

I would definitely include it in my resume. SoloLearn is pretty similar to StackOverflow, although it offers a few more features such as the code playground and courses.

I wouldn't include it, because those achievements mean nothing to an employer. I would, however, probably show some codes, because that's what proves you can really code

That's true, Van Hohenheim, and it's completely up to you. It would show your commitment, but I'm afraid a company would find it hard to judge on how hard it is to reach such things. I guess, if you'd put programming on your outside-of-jobs list and write that you've been programming for X amount of years, it'd show more commitment in their eyes
