While registration or joining Youth4work is the first big step towards a bright career of choice, the next big step is to build your profile with all the appropriate details. Only then, you get matched with relevant career opportunities automatically. Moreover, your public profile is Google search enabled, i.e. your profile will feature in top google searches for your name.

First, it’s important for a youth to check how his / her public profile appears to employers or recruiters and other youth. The youth can use the Public Profile URL to paste and share wherever on any other sites he / she wants to. This URL bears your username used for logging in.
e.g. http://www.youth4work.com/y/sharadbharadva

The public profile can be accessed in two ways:

After logging in, click on your photograph on page header and select Public Profile – Review link from the drop down. This can be accessed by the youth from whichever page he/she is on.

The other way is to go to myHome (default page on login) and click on Profile button from left drawer as shown below.

Now that a youth knows about public profile, he / she has to click Edit Profile link from the options shown above to add or change other details.

Profile Header

These details describe you in brief. We recommend you to add your recent photograph in JPEG format, edited in squared dimensions for better view.

Click on the blue pen icon on top-right to edit the other details without fail. A pop will appear as follows:

Name: The way you want employers or recruiters and other youth to know and address you as.
Professional Headline: This is a one-line description of your professional experience or aspirations whichever applicable.
Current Location: This location field is automatically filled up during initial registration. But you can change it.
Preferred locations: You can enter 3 locations where you choose to get career opportunities in. Current and Preferred locations are a major criterion for employers and recruiters to search talented youth.
Talents: These will list the talents you’ve already entered during the registration process. If you wish to add more talents, you can do it from here. Also, if you give any yTests for different talents, they automatically get added to this list. Talents is the most important criterion for relevant job opportunity matches. These talents become part of your Talent Profile listed with yRanks, Reputation, Social Vouch and Recommendations.

Save the details for sure :)

About Me and Career Aim

These sections portray you and your aspirations in detail. These sections will give insights into your concise writing skills and aspirations to whosoever is going through your profile.

In About Me, you should describe your personality traits, strengths and weaknesses, domain work experiences and how would you like to stage your professional career.
In Career Aim, you can detail out or briefly explain what you want to do and to be in years to come. Aim realistically, so that the viewer or assessor connects easily with your profile.

Education

You would have added you most recent education details during the initial registration process. It is recommended for the youth to add the most recent education details so as to get matched with relevant career opportunities.

Click on Add Education link to add more than one graduation or post-graduation education details.

Click on Edit link to fill in more details for a particular education:

College: Name of your graduation / post-graduation college. More than 5800 colleges are already registered in our database. As you’ll start typing the full name, you’ll get list-downs to choose from.
University name: Colleges are automatically mapped to universities. If not, enter the name manually. If any discrepancy, contact the support administrator to the mail id in Contact Us page.
Name of Degree: Once you’ll start typing the name of the degree, you’ll get a list-down to select the exact degree, e.g. MBA-Masters of Business Administration, B.Tech-Bachelor of Technology, etc.
Specialization: Enter the specialization, e.g. Marketing, Finance, Mechanical, Electronics, etc.
Batch: Enter the duration of your study in from-to years format, if already passed out. Else choose current.
Marks: Convert your relevant marks – CGPA, percentile, etc. in percentage format and enter it.
Academic achievements: Adding these will give you an edge over others in eyes of the recruiters.

Also, edit and fill your school education details for class 10^th and 12^th. Many employers and recruiters filter the data and screen profiles based on these details also. Completing these details can give you an edge over others for sure. Hence complete all your education details.

Work Experience

This section showcases your current and prior work experiences if any. Here’s a chance for you to highlight which companies have you worked with, what responsibilities have you handled, what results have you given, key projects undertaken and any major achievements during the stint.
