Video Transcript:

Hi everyone, my name is Angelica and I work as a Research & Policy Officer at AMES Australia.  In this video I will tell you a little bit about how to create a profile at Seek, the job seeking platform.

Much like LinkedIn, Seek (seek.com.au) has the capacity for users to create a profile, though many candidates do not take advantage of this function.  Recruiters and employers often appreciate applicants creating a profile as it makes it easier to import that profile into their database, which streamlines the hiring process.  Additionally, many job advertisements allow a function to submit your application using your profile and saved resume, which makes it quicker and easier.  There are privacy settings allowing you to decide whether your profile is public (“Standard” - employers and Recruiters can view it) or private (“Hidden” - only gets sent when you apply for a job), so if privacy is a concern to you, select a “Hidden” profile.

One key area to focus on is your current or most recent role.  In the profile match list it shows your job title, employer and tenure for your current or most recent role on the top line of your listing, followed by up to two prior roles.  Your current or most recent job title is bolded.  Make sure to use a job title that both accurately reflects the role you performed and also relates closely to the roles you’re applying for.

Create or update your Seek profile today, and ask a trusted friend or professional mentor to review it for you.
