Welcome to Labourly! This overview outlines how to quickly build your profile using the Welcome Wizard. If you have questions about editing specific sections on your profile, see our other FAQs.


Completing your profile:

  • Allows your employer or staffing agency to contact you directly and securely
  • Matches your profile information to jobs that you are qualified for
  • Automates your certification and license deadlines


The more information you fill out in your profile, the better your chances at getting shortlisted for jobs and new opportunities.

 

The fastest way to complete your profile is by using the Welcome Wizard. When you first log in, you’ll see a pop up prompting you to upload your resume. If you don’t see this pop up, go to the Notifications panel, to the Complete Welcome Wizard notification, and click Open Wizard. 


In this section:

  1. Upload your resume
  2. Edit your Personal Information
  3. Upload your Certifications and Documents
  4. Edit your Education and Work Experience
  5. Edit your About Me



If you exit the Welcome Wizard without completing your profile, we make sure to save your progress so that you can complete your profile later. You can always edit your profile later.
