What should I include in my Jobs Victoria online hub profile?
Your profile is made up of two sections - About Me & Work Experience. Both are equally important!

Summary;
Your summary is all about you! This is where you can highlight your skills, achievements & professional interests.
What to write;

Roles/industries are you interested in working in

When you’re not working;
Potential employers are interested in learning about you as a person, as well as your work experience. Therefore it is important to include a couple of sentences that show off your personality and interests, for example:

Exercise: If you like to exercise what type of exercise and what do you like about it?
