Why your profile matters

Employers often search before they post an opportunity

Many employers begin by browsing available Nomads or searching profiles by skill. If they find someone suitable, they can make direct contact without posting a job listing.

A useful profile helps you be considered for both advertised and unadvertised opportunities.

Be specific

“Can do anything” is difficult to search

Employers search for particular skills and experience. General phrases provide very little information and rarely match the keywords employers use.

State what you do, how much experience you have and where that experience came from. Detailed profiles save employers time and give them more confidence to contact you.

Professional headline example

“Baker with 36 years’ experience across Australia”

This is clearer and more searchable than a broad statement such as “can do anything.”

Keep your profile current

The Nomad search lists recently updated profiles prominently. Review your details regularly so employers can see that your availability is current.
