We often get asked what makes a great Hireup profile and the simple answer is, whatever makes you great! Your profile is an opportunity to tell the community about yourself so make the most of it!
If you’re wondering how to do this, we’ve included a few tips below.
1. Use a great photo
Your photo is the first thing people seeking support will view. A great photo has a few simple features. It doesn’t have to be professional, just make sure it’s a clear photo of you!
It is important to ensure your image is not blurry or obstructed by anything. This includes:
- Sunglasses
- Hats
- Hair that covers your face
2. Have an honest bio
Your bio is an introduction to yourself, and is the best way to tell people all about who you are, things you enjoy, your passions, interests and what you can offer.
Let people know how you can help them achieve their goals through the skills you have to offer.
There is no need to include your phone number as people can contact you directly through the messaging function.
3. Pay attention to details
Good punctuation, spelling, and grammar are all important when writing your bio. When it comes to choosing the areas of support you’d like to provide, only choose the boxes you wish to provide support across.
4. Don’t forget to update your profile
We all have busy lives but keeping your bio up to date helps you get the most out of Hireup. Keep your availability updated so people understand when you can provide support. Your job description sets out your role and responsibilities so be sure to work within this without stretching your skills and experience.
