Creating an attractive profile on Moovijob.com is a key step in your job search. Optimising your profile will not only increase your chances of being contacted by recruiters when you apply for jobs, but will also make it easier for recruiters to find you in the CV database. Recruiters are naturally more attracted to complete profiles where all the key information has been provided.
Here are 10 essential points to improve in order to create a complete and effective Moovijob.com profile.
1. Create your account
After clicking on the "sign up" option at the top right-hand corner of the website, you will need to complete the required information, such as your contact details, and upload your CV. You can find our tips for creating a modern and visually appealing CV using a free and easy-to-use tool here.
Once you have entered this information, you will receive an account activation email. This email will redirect you to your Moovijob.com profile, where we will show you how to optimise it as much as possible.
2. Your professional situation
The next step is to enter your personal information. This enables recruiters to view your details more quickly. Your professional status (actively seeking, actively monitoring, or passively monitoring opportunities) indicates whether you are currently employed, looking for a job, open to opportunities, or willing to consider offers.
3. The position you are looking for
Next comes the position you are seeking. This plays a crucial role in optimising your profile. It is often the first criterion a recruiter will look at to determine whether you match the profile they are seeking.
The keywords used in your desired job title will also be indexed in our CV database, which recruiters use to browse CVs and contact candidates.
We recommend choosing a clear and explicit title. Keep it simple. If you are qualified for several different roles, select the one that interests you most.
If you are looking for an internship, an apprenticeship, or a position requiring a specific language, it is also important to mention this.
Example: English-speaking Account Manager
4. Your career background
In the "Career Background" section, you can enter your years of experience, education level, preferred contract type, and sector of activity.
It is important to select only the options that genuinely apply to you. Selecting every contract type or every sector will not help you stand out and may make you appear indecisive. Limit yourself to two or three choices at most to avoid confusing recruiters.
5. Your online presence
With the rise of professional social networks such as LinkedIn and Viadeo, building a network of professional connections can be an excellent way to find a job more quickly.
By sharing your LinkedIn, Viadeo, Twitter, Facebook (provided it is used professionally, there is no need to expose your private life to a potential future employer), blog, or personal website on Moovijob.com, recruiters are more likely to view your profiles and contact you.
Being transparent about your online reputation demonstrates honesty, and recruiters appreciate reassurance.
6. Your mobility area
In the "Mobility" section, located at the top left of the website, you can complete the "Area of Residence" and "Mobility Area" fields.
These criteria allow you to specify where you currently live (area of residence) and the locations where you would like to work (mobility area(s)). You can also indicate the type(s) of driving licence you hold and whether you have access to a vehicle.
7. Languages you speak
By clicking on "Languages" within the "Skills" section in the menu on the left, you can add the languages you speak and understand, along with your proficiency level.
To do so, click "Add a language", enter the name of the language (for example, English), and select it from the drop-down menu.
The seven stars displayed on the right allow you to indicate your proficiency level according to the French foreign language assessment framework (from A1 to MT for Mother Tongue).
If you are unfamiliar with these levels, don't worry. Simply hover your mouse over the different stars to view their descriptions.
By listing the languages you speak on your Moovijob.com profile, the corresponding flags will appear beneath your profile picture whenever you apply for a vacancy, making your application more attractive.
8. Your Skills
The "Skills" section is essential on any profile.
On Moovijob.com, you can directly add your skills in the dedicated section found in the left-hand menu. Simply enter the name of the skill in the "Skill Name" field.
It is also important to assess your own proficiency using the stars displayed next to each skill. There is no need to award yourself the highest rating for every skill, remain honest about your abilities and level of expertise.
9. Profile Picture
Don't forget that a job board is also, in a way, a dating platform, although a professional one!
Nowadays, recruiters pay particular attention to profile pictures, as they help form a first impression of you.
To choose a GOOD professional profile picture, here are a few recommendations:
- Choose a neutral background (plain and preferably light-coloured);
- Use a high-quality photograph;
- Ensure your face is fully visible;
- Use a recent photograph;
- Avoid selfies (even though they are becoming increasingly common);
- Choose a picture that reflects a positive image of yourself.
10. Keep Your Profile Up to Date
When you create a profile on a job board, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is failing to keep it up to date, especially after any professional change (new job, additional training, etc.).
Remember that there is nothing more frustrating for a recruiter interested in your profile than discovering that your most recent experience dates back five years.
To help you avoid this, Moovijob.com automatically sends you an email reminder if you have not updated your profile for a long time. Handy, isn't it? :)
