Your Bayt.com Profile Must Answer These Three Questions

If you were to assume that your professional Bayt.com profile was the only tool for landing you a job, you would probably strive to continuously improve and tweak the marketing pitch it conveys. Indeed, Bayt.com offers a wide range of services that complement your profile including customized CV evaluation and writing, cover letter assistance, premium profiles, as well as Specialties; a social platform that provides users with personal branding and networking tools. That being said, Your Bayt.com profile is the vanguard of your application, the brand that you self-promote, and the main message that you send across the platform.

In order to ensure that your profile is complete and is generating as much exposure and career opportunities as possible, Bayt.com is providing you with the three most important questions that your profile must present an answer to

1. What is your targeted job?

It is critical to provide documented information on your previous positions, experiences, education, and training. Yet, hiring companies are only able to fill half the cup with that information. You need to tell your potential-employer what is it that you aspire to do, where you want to do it, and what type of position will allow you to do it. Especially for candidates who have experiences or degrees applicable to several industries, the lack of specific targeted jobs may cause a potential employer to dismiss your profile as irrelevant. Even if you are not attempting to enter a new industry, having a well-defined career objective will make it easier for you and your employer to determine the relevance of the vacancy at stake.

Additionally, listing your targeted industries, locations, and positions will make your profile more search-friendly. Employers searching for specific keywords based on the requirements and responsibility of the vacant position will easily locate and access your profile if those keywords are present on it.

2. What do you know about the industry?

Beyond listing keywords and career goals, this is the part where you showcase how your profile is relevant and how you are well-qualified for a particular position. Bayt.com conducted a survey to find what employers look for the most in a candidate public profile. The top cited reason (24% of respondents) was industry knowledge and expertise. Make sure that you display the information that reflect your familiarity with the relevant industry and your awareness of the latest trends and changes. Share relevant content on your profile, join professional groups and networks, participate in online discussions, and share your thoughts and opinions where appropriate. Familiarize yourself with the general technological, structural, and economic changes of the industry and be prepared for industry-specific questions.

What industry knowledge will also showcase is your passion and general aptitude as a candidate. Employers enjoy knowing that their potential employees go beyond the bare minimum and keep an eye out on any information for the success of the hiring company.

3. How committed are you to the job?

Though you will not outright measure your commitment level and display it on your profile, you need to prove to hiring companies that you are serious about a specific career prospect. Saying that you are interested in a field is not sufficient. Talk about your previous positions where you had to deal with different challenges on the job. Discuss how you struggled in a new industry or position but quickly managed to learn the new skills and did not retreat. Present the initiatives that you launched and carried to the finish line. Refer to your extra-curricular activities and hobbies that complement your career passion. Overall, show the potential employer that you always give 100%.
