Having a detailed user profile is useless on the vast majority of job portals. Well, at best, you can use it to generate a nice CV in PDF format. Useful, isn’t it? 🙂 But if you are looking for a job portal that works with your data much smarter, ideally so that there are some benefits for you, then you are in the right place!

Any information you place in your profile on Skilleto.cz, we use to able to offer you only those job offers that really interest you. Relevance is simply the number one priority for us. By the way, for the same reason, you will never see “hot”, “tip”, “top” (or otherwise marked) job posts on Skilleto.cz. Of course, we understand the reasons for the sale of similar mechanisms, but it must seem to the user like going to buy bread and an annoying salesman tries to force him to buy wash powder 🙂

So how to create a user profile that will be really useful?

1. Roles and skills

Key section number one. This is really important. Here you should pick all the roles you worked in in the past and the skills you have acquired during this time. Skills include almost everything – programming languages, frameworks, important libraries, various databases and other repositories, platforms, architectures, tools, technologies, and also soft skills. Everything counts. You can also assign the level you have reached so far to every skill.

We distinguish three levels:

• beginner: basic knowledge or use. For programming languages, it is, for example, basic knowledge and orientation in the syntax of the language, the ability to complete a simple task. In terms of time, this level could be described as less than 1 year of experience.
• advanced: good knowledge or use: you have experienced the skill and use it daily. In analogy with programming languages, this is a level where you normally program in a given language, you have experienced work with data types and structures, communication with external services, etc. In time, this level could be described as 2 – 5 years of experience.
• expert: a detailed knowledge or fully experienced use of the skill. Again, in analogy with programming languages, this is a level where you know the language in great detail, the syntax is completely known for you, you know all the “edge cases” of the language, you know best practices, etc. Estimated in time: more than 5 years of experience.

Of course, we understand that no one is a walking database of their own knowledge and it is almost impossible to fill in the whole profile at once. Therefore, whenever you come across (eg in the detail of a job position) a skill that you master, but do not yet have in your profile – then you can simply add it to the profile with one click. No need to leave the currently open job position detail. So you can easily refine your profile at all times.

2. Languages

The second important section of your profile. Here you can fill in all the languages you can speak. For language levels, we fully respect the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). More info can be found on Wikipedia: Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

In short, there are a total of six categories of foreign language proficiency: from A1 (elementary) to C2 (native speaker). Don’t forget that your native language also counts and is often stated in the requirements 🙂

As with skills – if you come across a language you speak but don’t have in your profile yet, you can add it with one click.

3. Work history

The last of the “big three” – your work history. Although it might seem that this section is intended only for “reading during long winter nights”, the opposite is true! This section is also important, and even very important. It looks very nice when someone identifies himself/herself as an expert in a given skill, but it is appropriate to substantiate this claim with some facts – demonstrable practice. You can associate any job you have held in the past with the skills you have been actively using or acquired at the time. You can use both the skill set you already have in your profile, as well as add new skills.

Combining these three main parts of the user profile then creates a fairly clear idea of what job positions you might be interested in. No hots/tips/tops, but just what interests you! Probably no job portal will offer you 🙂

Create your own Skilleto.cz profile and maybe you will also find a job that will really suit you!
