Public profiles
As a member of Uplink you can create a public profile to showcase your skills, knowledge and project experience:
Creating a profile is optional, but it can help you to receive direct enquiries from clients. A form is integrated below each profile, which clients can use to contact you. We will forward every contact request to you after a brief check to avoid spam.
Since public profiles are a relatively new feature of Uplink (launched December 2023), we want to make sure that they work really well and are easy to set up before we release them to all members.
Therefore, profiles are still in a beta phase, which means that any member can express interest in their own profile in the member area and we will gradually invite those interested to create a profile.
Sections
Your profile consists of these sections:
Name, city and tagline
The city helps potential clients to assess how easy it is to organise a personal meeting. The tagline is a short description of yourself, e.g. "Fullstack Developer with focus on React.js".
About me
Here you can describe yourself, your motivation and your experience in several paragraphs.
Projects
In your project list, you should list the 3-10 most important projects of the last few years and indicate the title and time period for each project and describe the skills and technologies used as well as your tasks.
Hourly rate
Displaying the hourly rate is optional. However, it can help at an early stage to avoid client enquiries with a budget that is too low.
Skills
Here you can specify your skills and knowledge and categorise them as "Junior", "Advanced" or "Expert".
Education
Enter your education in this section, e.g. studies, training or further education.
Language skills
Here you should indicate how well you speak German, English and possibly other languages.
