What are the 5 steps to create a profile?
Gather your work history
Gathering the right information is essential to writing a powerful professional profile. Before you begin your profile, jot down your current and previous jobs. This will be important especially if you have many years of professional experience. Then, think about the accomplishments that you achieved at each job role or internship. Try to concentrate on impressive accomplishments rather than mundane daily tasks that anyone in the same role would handle.
In addition to listing your accomplishments, you will need the following:
Name of the business or organization
Location (city and state) or remote location
Job title
Date you started and the date you left
If you choose to, you can include a profile picture like a professional headshot.
Jot down your best skills
When you’re writing your professional profile, think of your best skills as what makes you stand out from other professionals. Typically, a professional will have a blend of soft skills and hard skills listed in their profile. Soft skills are aspects of your personality, work style, or effectiveness including leadership, compassion, communication and organization. Hard skills are technical skills necessary to get the job done including industry-specific tools like social media, Java script, Microsoft, SEO, writing and graphic design. Selecting your most impressive skills is easy if you think about the skills required to perform the accomplishments from your work experience.
Think about the extras that make you stand out
Now that you’ve listed your work history and best skills, it’s time to show how you really shine. Did you receive educational awards, scholarships, work awards or community service recognition. Do you focus on specialties in your field? Put yourself in the place of someone reading your profile. Include the wow factor by mentioning a time when perhaps you were awarded “Employee of the Month,” “Marketer of the Year,” Dean’s List, President’s List, or “Recruiter of the Year.”
Consider your online profile as a valuable networking opportunity
Networking through Bold.pro can offer you unlimited ways to connect with industry professionals whether you’re a job seeker or happy at your current job. It’s a great way to hear about open job roles even before they get advertised for and an ideal way for hiring managers to find qualified talent. Connecting with industry colleagues, mentors and alumni can be a great source of referrals and endorsements - and beneficial to your career success.
Don’t forget to proofread before submitting your profile data
When your Bold.pro profile is complete, take the time to proofread your information. Typos or incorrect information will not make for the strongest profile. Read your profile word by word, line by line and tweak if necessary. Check to make sure your contact address is current or you’ll miss out on connections made for networking. Also, note that your phone number and email address will always remain private, never made public. Any connections through Bold.pro will be made through Bold.pro.

What to include in your profile
When you build a Bold.pro profile, you are creating a glimpse of your career, qualifications and education. Add those recognizable accomplishments to your contact information and geographical location to make it a profile that defines your personal brand and will easily connect with other professionals.
Let’s review profile features in more detail:
Name, phone number and email address
Your contact information is necessary to make connections on Bold.pro. Rest assured that we don’t make your phone number and email address public. That information stays private and we will make the connection on your behalf. Be sure your data is current so hiring managers and other professionals can connect with you. You don’t want to miss out on any leads in your job search, industry seminars, networking meetups, alumni events or job postings.
Geographical location
Oftentimes, a recruiter or employer will be interested in hiring job candidates that reside in a specific geographical location. That’s why it’s important to list your location, specifically your city, state, and zip code or at the least, the metropolitan area where you live like Orlando, Florida. Your location will also be helpful if there is an in person local industry conference being planned or you will be invited to guest speak at a local college or alumni gathering.
Education
Including your education in your professional profile is more than just being proud of your degrees. It’s also beneficial if your alumni is holding an event or an employer is interested in hiring candidates with the specific degree you hold. List the college, university or training schools you have attended. Feature the degrees or certifications you’ve earned. If you’re still in school or lack education, consider including the courses you completed that are relevant to your current position or your dream job. Be sure to mention any impressive educational milestones.
Work experience
The work experience section of your Bold.pro online profile is where you get the opportunity to show off your best qualities and years of experience. To get your employment history to really allow your profile to shine, include your work history that demonstrates how you stand out in your chosen industry. Be sure the information is factual. Your work experience is not an area where you should exaggerate your accomplishments. Your work experience is a great way to get noticed by a hiring manager that may be currently seeking to hire former employees from a specific company.
Skills
When it comes to your Bold.pro profile, both soft skills and hard skills hold equal amounts of importance. You see, it’s the combination of technical know-how mixed with personality traits and work ethic that demonstrate your ability to get the job done. Hard skills are typically gained through education and on-the-job training. Soft skills are your personal attributes like creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking and empathy. As mentioned, be factual. Do not list any skills that you are not proficient in or can’t back up in your work history.
Awards and Recognition
A Bold.pro online profile rich with accomplishment filled work experience can be even stronger when including awards you received. This can be career-related, academic-related or even notable achievements outside of the workplace. Maybe you’re an advertising content writer but you won an award for self-publishing a children’s book or you received a community service award for coaching youth soccer.
