How to create a Jobseeker profile

To get matched to jobs, you need to create a Jobseeker profile. To do this, you need to log in. When you log in for the first time, you will be taken to where you can add info to your Jobseeker profile.

You are asked about:

  • your skills and strengths
  • any work experience you have, paid or unpaid
  • any study and training you have started or completed
  • your work preferences, like location, hours and type of work.

We guide you to fill in each section of the Jobseeker profile. You can save and exit anytime, then come back later and continue where you left off.

If you have work obligations, what you put into your profile may impact your benefit.
