Have you ever thought about how your DevelopmentAid member profile looks to the recruiter who is in search of candidates for a vacancy? Which do you think are the first and most important points that attract their attention? Well, since “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, we think your profile should be the best ad of your competence and level of expertise.
That’s why today we are proud to announce a brand new feature for our individual members – profile Headlines.
The Headline feature is a way to stand out from the crowd and catch the eye of recruiters. Functioning as a type of banner or one-line synopsis of your most exciting accomplishments and/or your current job position, the Headline appears beneath your name in search results, highlighted with a special font.
The new Headline feature is an addition to your existing profile on DevelopmentAid. Simply click on your profile and you’ll see a new section called “Professional Headline”. Click on “propose a professional title” and you can then write your own headline that will appear whenever anyone looks at your profile.
If you’re not sure how to craft an eye-catching profile headline, this article has several great tips on how to put your best foot forward. In colloquial terms, your profile Headline is the “elevator pitch” of all that you bring to the table as a prospective employee or contractor. It’s a wonderful way to let recruiters and potential employers know exactly who you are and what your unique strengths are.
