It’s always surprising the types of profiles people submit. As you probably know, members can submit pretty much anything they want in the About Me and Experience section of the profile.

We try to stress as much as we can to be as professional as possible on these fields. Agencies look at these before they contact you for work. If they look at it and realize that you are unable to spell or use capitalization correctly, it will only hurt you. We’ve seen so many profiles submitted with horrible grammar and spelling.

Here are some tips to help make you look better and get more attention from agencies

• Use full words–Use “you” instead of “u”. Enter in information like you would on a paper for school
• Use correct grammar–Use sentences. Use commas, periods, and such.
• Use correct spelling–This speaks for itself
• Use capitalization and spacing–Use paragraphs and sentences with capital letters. It looks better and it’s easier to read.

Mainly, make it look good. Think about it–would you want to pay somebody to work for you that can’t spell? Probably not. No matter what you look like, people want to hire quality people–people that take the time to use full words and sentences.  The better your profile looks, the better you look, and the better we look.
