      Detailing your experience

      To showcase your experience effectively, keep the following points in mind:

      1. Updated CV/resume: Ensure your CV/resume includes all your roles, certifications, and relevant projects. Make sure it aligns with your LinkedIn profile for consistency.

      2. Dates for each role: Provide start and end dates for each role in the format of month and year. This information is crucial for completing your profile.

      3. Multiple roles: If you currently hold multiple roles, clearly indicate whether they are contract or part-time positions.

      4. Correlation between projects and roles: Specify the company for which commercial projects were undertaken. This helps employers understand the context of your work.

      5. Technologies: Include details about the technologies and tools you used in each work experience. Matching your skills with employers' requirements is essential for successful matches.

      6. Responsibilities: Add at least three responsibilities for each role to provide a comprehensive overview of your achievements and impact. The more details you provide, the better your chances of being invited for interviews.

      7. Job title seniority: Ensure that the technologies listed in your work experience align with the selected seniority level of your job titles. Only commercial experience will be considered.

      Other information you'll need

      Here are some additional details you'll be asked to provide:

      1. Phone number: It's necessary to provide a phone number, but employers won't see it unless you accept an interview request. You may receive calls or messages from your Talent Success Manager to follow up on your job interview progresses.

      2. Visa type and date: If applicable, mention your visa type and its expiry date. This information helps determine your eligibility to work and the potential need for sponsorship.

      3. Salary expectations: Being upfront about your salary expectations is crucial to be matched with the right roles. Transparency ensures that you receive interview requests aligned with your needs. Flexibility and negotiation are possible, but clarity from the start is essential.

      4. Current and work locations: Specify your current location and whether you are open to hybrid work, onsite roles, or relocation. Leaving the work location section empty indicates openness to only fully remote positions.

      5. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I): This optional section helps hackajob learn more about who you are, and highlights any accommodations you may require to thrive in the workplace. hackajob is committed to diversity and inclusion, and we use this data to support and educate employers in their D&I objectives and develop our product to enhance representation and inclusivity in tech.

      6. Links to LinkedIn/Github/other websites: Optionally, include links to your profiles on LinkedIn, Github, or personal websites and portfolios. These provide additional details about your work, skills, endorsements, personal projects, and other valuable information for potential employers.

      Pay attention to detailing your experience, provide essential information, and consider adding optional details to enhance your profile. Best of luck in creating an outstanding profile, and we're excited to see your success on hackajob!
