Keep the ownership clear

A project completed within a company may involve resources, colleagues and permissions that do not transfer to an individual's current practice. In Dhawal Laheri's Tap Tap Go vision, a richer professional identity can explain those distinctions rather than relying on a recognisable company name to carry the story.

Show what remains relevant

Use material only where appropriate and describe the role actually held. Explain which judgement or skill now informs the person's work, without suggesting they still represent the former employer. A recipient can then assess relevant experience accurately. The value lies in a clear bridge between past contribution and current capability, not an implied continuation of authority or access that no longer exists.

Imagine this

Hypothetical scene

Hypothetically, a former team member describes their research contribution to an earlier company project using approved material. Their profile explains how that experience informs current work without suggesting the former company endorses the new practice.

Make it practical.
