I do several different kinds of work. Does that make my profile messy?

No. It is the case Litterae is built for.

Why a CV makes it messy and this does not

A CV forces one title at a time and puts everything else in a paragraph nobody reads. If you run partnerships, write, and spend a quarter of your time on something closer to product, you have to pick which of those is the headline, and the other two become supporting detail under a label that describes a third of what you do.

Tags works the other way round: each post carries its own. Someone who does content, partnerships and a bit of product shows up in all three, with the actual work attached to each. There is no single field that has to summarise you, so nothing has to be left out to make room.

Your profile then reflects the mix rather than averaging it out. Someone browsing partnerships work finds your partnerships posts, not a summary that mentions partnerships third.

The one thing worth doing deliberately

Tag each post for what that post is, rather than for everything you do.

This is the difference between a legible mix and a noisy one, and it is the mistake most worth avoiding. Tagging every post with all six things you do feels like it should make you more findable. It does the opposite: every one of your posts then matches every query about you, so someone browsing partnerships work gets your illustration post, concludes your tags are decoration, and stops trusting them.

Precision per post is what makes breadth readable. Four posts tagged accurately across four kinds of work say "this person does these four things". Four posts tagged with all four say nothing at all.

What a mixed profile looks like to someone browsing

They almost never arrive at your profile first. They arrive at a post: one piece of work, in one context, that matched what they were looking for.

So the first thing they see is you doing the specific thing they care about. The breadth is what they find after that, when they look at the rest of your profile, and at that point it reads as range rather than as confusion. The order matters: breadth encountered after relevance is a strength, breadth encountered instead of relevance is noise.

This is why the per-post tagging carries the weight. It controls which single piece of work is someone's first impression of you.

If the kinds of work are genuinely unrelated

Some people do two things that have nothing to do with each other. That is fine and it still works, because nobody browses your profile as a whole in order to categorise you.

If it genuinely bothers you, the lever is what you post rather than how you tag. Post more of the work you want to be found for. The profile is made of what you publish, so the balance of it is something you set by posting, not something you have to declare.

What about industry?

Industry sits on your profile rather than on each post, and it takes up to three values for exactly this reason.

If you work across sectors, name the ones you actually work in. Three is enough to be a real filter and few enough to stay meaningful. Someone listing eight is telling a reader nothing, which is why the field is capped.

And it is optional. If you genuinely work across everything, leaving it blank is more honest than picking three at random, and it costs you nothing on the axes people browse most.
