Tips to Upload a Great Helper Profile
The first thing employers look at is your profile and your job listing will provide employers a comprehensive and accurate view of yourself.
So, creating a great job listing is critical to encourage employers to contact you and attract those who match your capabilities and preferences.
Here are some tips on how to do that:
- Job experience – Be specific & honest about your experiences: Did you work for a Chinese or foreign family? Took care of kids, elderly, or pets? It is best to also include your years of experience.
- Highlight your strengths and skills: Are you confident with childcare, newborn care? Are you good at keeping the house clean and organized? Can you cook vegetarian food or a variety of dishes? You can tick everything you can do!
- Include a professional photo on a neutral background to make a good first impression.
- Ask for a review and/or reference letter from your previous employer. Upload these letters as a photo next to your profile photo. You can include the reasons why you are not renewing with them if any. It will help a lot!
- Set right expectation: List down your expected wage (current minimum wage is HK$4,630 per month, especially for first time Overseas hire), Are you willing to share room?, What’s your preferred duties? is it to take care of babies?
- Contact Information: provide an accurate phone number (What’s app) and other contact methods for employers to contact you for interview opportunities.
- Introduction of yourself : This will provide employers a quick impression of your capabilities as a domestic helper! Here you can say that you are experienced or a first-time, indicate your nationality, perhaps say great characteristics, any additional or special backgrounds like nursing graduate, caregiver skillset or educating foundation, or specify how many years of experience you’ve got.
