How do I add/change competencies and tools in my profile?

Your skills

It is important that your skills are always up to date so that we can assign suitable customers and jobs to you. You can manage your skills yourself in your profile. Via the plus sign on the right side you can request your competencies per work area. If you add a new competence, it will be submitted to me for review. So, in order to get a new competence, you need to explain in the text field what knowledge and skills you have in this area. Note that this text is also visible to customers. So don’t mention any private information and don’t mention names of customers you are already working for in this field.

For the basic competencies that we check in our assessment for all VPAs, a standard text is stored in the application that you do not need to edit again. This applies to the following competencies: Miscellaneous Office Services, Appointment Organization, Web Research, Data Entry, Data Maintenance, Document Creation, Formatting Work, Correspondence, and the Additional Competencies for Telephony and Weekend Work.

You can additionally emphasise your qualifications with references via the document upload. When releasing your documents, I can individually determine whether they are only released for internal use or whether they are also released for customers. This way we ensure that no personal data is accessible to customers.

For selected competencies, the reference upload is a must. This applies to all competencies in Design as well as TeleSales New Customers, Off-Site SEO, Creative Copywriting and Business Plan. To remove a competency, simply click on the minus sign next to the respective competency in your profile.

Your tools

In addition to your competencies, you can indicate which tools you are proficient in. Tools are available for office assistance, financial accounting preparation, online shop support, CRM systems, social media, online advertising, design & web. So, for example, if you apply for the competence “Online shop support”, also remember to specify in the tools the software you can work with. Or for the “Social Media Assistance” competency, select the platforms you are familiar with, i.e. Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc. The tools help us internally to accurately assess your skills and knowledge. This way we can find the right customers and tasks for you!
