The advantages of a digital CV

Every time a hiring manager considers your application, they’ll look at your profile to decide if you’re a good fit for the job. Your chances of being hired will increase dramatically if you have an up-to-date CV that shows your unique skills and experience. Now, you can showcase this all in one place, making it easier for you to update and much quicker for companies to review your information.

Instead of uploading your CV as a file, which needs to be created and updated in external applications, you can take advantage of our digital CV feature: Simply create and maintain an overview of your work experience and education history directly in your profile. It’s quick and easy, no more files needed.

We’ll also start using the information in your digital CV to improve your job search and show you more relevant opportunities!

How to select skills for your digital CV

You can add relevant skills to each work experience and education section while creating/editing it. Skills can help you highlight important things you’ve done or learned in each job or educational experience. We recommend adding at least 3-5 skills to stand out to hiring managers.

Add skills by searching for keywords and selecting the skills that best fit your experience. You can add as many skills as you’d like per section.


How to attach reference letters and diplomas to your digital CV

To be considered for certain jobs, further qualifications might be required. In those cases, your profile will need to be reviewed and approved. You can attach files, e.g. reference letters, certifications, or diplomas from jobs or your education, to individual sections of your digital CV.

If you want to attach a file to your CV, please note that you’ll need to re-upload the document. Any existing documents in your profile that you’ve uploaded in the past can’t be attached to your digital CV.

To attach a document to an experience or education section, select it and click Edit. At the bottom of the screen, you can Upload a file.
