YaaZe FAQs

The best way to utilize photos on your YaaZe profile is in a way that makes you look polished and professional, contributing in a positive way to your overall resume. For example, if you’re an actress, a professional headshot puts a face to your name while lending credibility. If you’re a graphic designer, a tasteful photo of yourself can be useful, but photo uploads should primarily be viagra to showcase your work. If you’re a skydiving instructor, images of you taking a tumble make sense. If you’re a waitress, they don’t.

The best way to use photos is to make them an extension of your resume. For example, if you’re a web designer, upload screenshots of sites you’ve created. Images like these give your ePortfolio immediate credibility.

While I encourage YaaZe members to upload images as soon as they join since it’s a sure-fire way to get noticed by employers, the photo you select is not a decision to be taken lightly. Precisely because your photo is the first thing (and maybe ONLY thing) an employer’s going to notice about your profile, think carefully about the message your sending. We’ve all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. In this sense, your profile photo is a visual representation of your CV, encompassing all the information your resume does in a still photo. Get creative!

Examples:

If you’re a babysitter, a photo of you with the kids of last family you nannied for will make it quickly obvious to potential employers that you’re great with kids and have experience.

If you won ‘employee of the month’ at the last restaurant you worked at, a photo of that plaque might serve you better than a random snapshot.

Yes, we all love personal pics, but that’s what Facebook and MySpace are for. My advice – on YaaZe.com think out-of-the-box to ensure your photo says something about your professional skills.

Hopefully, you’re enjoying YaaZe.com’s updates and improvements and are still sending questions, comments or concerns my way. Those of you that have shared success stories about your job search, thank you! Those are my absolute favorite emails to read. Any members that need assistance setting up their profile so they can get noticed too, just email me.

My “Right Now” Tips For Getting Noticed:

• Include the services you offer on your profile. If you don’t fill out this box, employers can’t search for you. Also, YaaZe doesn’t limit you to just one service. If you’re a waitress, flame thrower, and skydiving instructor, be sure to put all three

  skills down!

• Post images! Don’t be shy! It’s helpful for recruiters to put a face to a name and definitely makes you memorable. If you’re a designer or artist, post pictures of your work. A picture-rich profile truly helps you stand out.

• List your past experience. Copying and pasting the work experience from your resume into the ‘employment history’ box on your YaaZe profile takes moments and can be the defining factor in getting noticed by employers. Outlining your qualifications legitimizes you. Some employers may even feel comfortable hiring you on the spot!

• Make sure your

  contact information is correct, especially your email address. If you have your information set to ‘private,’ make sure to check your messages
