A professional profile is essential to making connections on Wethos. It’s your digital intro to prospective teammates, a way to showcase your unique experience and expertise, and the best way to increase your chances of being selected for a new work opportunity.
So, what does a rockstar profile include?
A top-notch profile on Wethos checks all of these boxes:
It's a fully filled-out profile card with links that drive to your most up-to-date work or social accounts and a punchy bio that intrigues.
It shows your true availability to signal to the Wethos community that you're Available, Available Soon, or Unavailable.
Consider these tips to help your profile stand out and get noticed for that next big opportunity.
1. Use every part of your profile to showcase your skills
The first step to a superb profile is completing your profile card. Start your profile by ensuring your primary title reflects the expertise you want to be hired for. You can expand on any details in your short bio.
2. Select a professional profile picture
We want to see you! Choose to share an image of yourself over the other platform options of an emoji or a color. We won't judge you if you need an interim image while arranging a photo shoot or taking time to find that winning picture in your camera roll.
3. Keep links up-to-date
There's nothing more anticlimactic than getting excited to open up a new link and landing on an error page. Double-check the links you add to the platform so that they arrive at the right location. Ensure you promote pages and social media profiles you are active on in case potential collaborators are interested in DM'ing you elsewhere.
4. Engage with other Studios and Independents
Don't be a stranger. Periodically search through the community to discover new studios and independents who recently joined the platform. You can reach out via email or save their profiles to your contractor page for future outreach. Not only will you be inspired by their profiles, but you'll also have new connections to grow your network.
5. Get Creative
While the platform is structured with certain fields, get creative with showcasing yourself. Consider using emojis within your bio or descriptions for added fun. And don't forget, the links you share should be kept up-to-date. Perhaps linking to a specific page of your website will speak more to your work or personality than your homepage.
6. Set your profile to "Available"
The community will only see your profile if it's set to "Available" or "Available Soon." Be sure to keep this current based on your openness to take on new work or meet new collaborators.
