Having your skills and experience up to date on your profile helps you stand out as a great candidate for tasks. Be sure to have this updated, along with having a great profile picture and bio message.
How to Add Skills and Experience to your profile
Note: Skills earned through working tasks on the Hyer platform are automatically assigned to your profile. You will only be able to earn skills from experience outside of the Hyer platform. If you are not able to add a skill when applying to a task, hit the back button, and there should be other options (may show a quiz or assessment needed) to complete in order to add the skill to be able to proceed.
- Click on the Profile icon in the bottom right-hand corner.
- Scroll down until you see ‘Work Experience.’ When you see this, you are in the right section. Click on the ‘Add’ button next to the area you want to update.
- If you are updating your Experience, you will need to add the name of the place of employment where you gained your experience. Then select the correct business name from the list that populates.
- Hint: Be sure to click the 'search' or 'done' button on the keyboard to see the business names that match what you entered
- Now search for and add the Skills that you acquired while working there.
- Next, select what type of employee you were, how you gained your experience, and the time frame you worked for that company.
- Review the information you added and hit ‘I’m Done’
- Now you can view the skills in your profile.
When you complete a task that has a skill on it, the Customer will have the opportunity to rate your proficiency in that skill, along with your overall performance.
