Professional profile and Employability Rating Bar
Employers are constantly browsing through profiles in search of their next recruits, so it’s vital that YOU catch their eye.
The employability rating uses algorithms to calculate how employable you are in relation to other students on the network!
The fact is it’s a tough world and you are competing against everybody else on the market.
So how do you increase your e-rating?
- - Experience
- - Experience
- - Oh, did we mention experience?
- - Receive mentoring
- - Mentor somebody else!
- - Complete the interview video
- - Upload your CV
- - Keep your profile up-to-date
- - Use your nudges wisely
- - and much much more…
Remember that the rating can also decrease – if you stop pushing yourself and other people on your network continue to strengthen their profiles and increase their e-rating yours will subsequently decrease.
Finding that one dream job has never been closer!
It’s really very simple – keep your profile updated, push yourself and gain as much experience as possible.
The result? Employment and a career that you can be proud of.
Companies will send you job opportunities that relate to your experience and qualifications.
Click on to the ‘My Jobs’ tab and here you’ll see your opportunities. Some companies will request additional information from you and might even require you to complete an additional interview video.
You’ve worked hard to get to University, so now let’s make sure you can graduate in to a well paid career!
Good luck.
