Great prep for linkedin, resume checks, formatting, and more. I just wish there was a little section for re-learning big things I should keep in the noggin.

Very useful! Lots of useful and practical tips, which you might be familiar with already. But the fact that it's all put together in one place is great. It might be a good idea to keep coming back here during the interview process to finetune based on what you learnt, because the more you gain experience, the more this advice will make sense.
