πŸ§‘β€πŸ« Public Profiles

As a member of Uplink you can create a public profile to showcase your skills, knowledge and project experience:

Profile

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.

Beta phase

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.

Features​

If you are interested in a feature marked with "πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Maybe", please write to us! We will only implement these features once we have received enough feedback from members who want to use them.
