Companies do searches for specific profiles for their jobs and events ("targeting"). We recommend to always keep your profile up to date, completed and visible.

The most important information on your profile is:

• Current contact information
• Education: begin with the actual course of study as well as all other higher educational studies and secondary school (chronological order)
• Experience: listing all jobs and internships
• Language skills: level of all languages spoken/known
• Interest industry
• Interest field of work
• Values of a company “what is important to me in an employer”
• Work ethics “which values are important to me in a work environment”

Learn how to update your profile and adjust your privacy settings in the following video. Note: English subtitles are available via the CC button within the video player.
