Online Profile? Why do I need to have a profile on online services marketplace? Why is it important? Tell me more…
Well…Your Profile is your online resume, it is your credibility online. The first thing which a buyer would look at is your profile and in this glance you need to generate interest in the Buyer’s mind, who is looking at outsourcing work. Buyer needs to know at a glance about you and develop trust online. Unless he feels comfortable with what he sees, he would not reach out and spend time for evaluating your proposal.
You might ask now, so what do I do?
Well…Your Profile should have
- Concise and precise details on Summary/About section, Education, Relevant Work Experience, which help establish your background.
- It should consist of your images, photographs, videos, which you can showcase as your online presence and help establish authenticity.
- It should contain a complete list of all your skill sets corresponding to your expertise/specialized area of work (say Flash, Adobe in Graphic design; Joomla, Drupal, Perl PHP, Java in Web Development; dotNet, VB, VC++ in software development; Online Blogging, Ghost writing, English to Russian, Chinese in Writing & Translation and much more), which you possess.
- And against the common understanding of literal nomenclature of ‘General Information’, precise and valid information about your existence & authenticity. Valid address, and details, which a buyer can search and find out easily and establish a verifiable online presence.
This and many such small things would go a long way in leaving a lasting impression on the Buyer’s mind and establish credibility and trust.
