Completing Your Profile

Your candidate profile on OnlineJobs is your professional introduction to employers. A complete and accurate profile increases your chances of getting noticed, receiving interview invitations, and matching with better job opportunities.

Why Your Profile Matters

A strong profile helps you:

  • Get discovered by employers faster

  • Improve job match quality

  • Stand out in candidate search results

  • Increase your chances of being hired

Incomplete profiles may receive fewer job opportunities and lower visibility.

You can complete your profile during onboarding or later from your account settings.


Step 1: Personal Information

Add your basic personal details:

  • Gender

  • Date of birth

  • Profile picture

Important:

  • Your date of birth is not public

Step 2: Location

Select your current location.

This helps employers:

  • Filter candidates by region

  • Find relevant remote or local talent

Step 3: Category, Role, and Skills

Select your professional details:

  • Job category

You may also optionally add:

Be as accurate as possible to improve job matching.


Step 4: Upload Your CV (Optional)

You can upload your CV to strengthen your profile.

A CV helps employers quickly understand:

  • Your experience

  • Your qualifications

  • Your career history

You can upload or update your CV at any time.
