ADDING ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS TO YOUR PROFILE

PLEASE NOTE - THIS SERVICE IS CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE FOR CANDIDATES WITH A GOOGLE ACCOUNT. OUR TEAM IS CURRENTLY BUILDING A BROADER CLOUD SOLUTION FOR ALL CANDIDATES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.


We appreciate how time consuming it can be adding all your relevant qualifications, certifications, immunisation records, and other important documents each time you apply for a new role. Which is why we have included in our Profile set up the ability to add a secure link for all your relevant documents.

We have included in the Profile "set up" page an area to add a URL for any additional documents that you want to share with a potential employer.

By using Google documents or other secure platforms you’ll keep everything in one place—making it quicker and easier to apply for new opportunities without having to re-upload your paperwork each time.

Keeping your profile up to date not only saves you time but also ensures you’re always ready for the next career move.

Plus, by using Google Documents employers will only be able to access your information with your permission, giving you control over when and how your credentials are shared.

This will also speed up the hiring process and give you a competitive edge.

Here is how to create a shareable link:

  1. Open your Google Drive: Go to Google Drive and click 'New' next to the (+) sign in the left hand column. Select 'New Folder' from the list.
  2. Name the folder: A pop-up box will appear in the centre of your screen asking you to name the folder. For consistency across WAC and so we can identify the folder correctly, please name the folder 'First Name Last Name - WAC Additional Documents' (e.g John Doe WAC Additional Documents) and click 'Create'.
  3. Upload files: Once the folder has ben created you will be able to upload all relevant files to your profile. Right-click inside the folder and go down to 'File Upload' from the drop-down menu. Select the file(s) that you would like to upload, ensuring that you are happy that anyone who has access to the folder will be able to view the files in with-in it (only you can allow others access to your WAC Additional Documents folder).
  4. Get a shareable link: Click on the folder name underneath the 'Search in drive' search bar at the top of the page. This will open a drop-down. Select 'Share' and a window will pop-up. In the pop-up window, under “General Access” click on the drop-down menu (it might say “Restricted” by default). You can change it to:
  • Anyone with the link: This will allow anyone who has the link to view, comment, or edit, depending on your selected permission.
  • Specific people: You can also choose to share the document with specific people by entering their email addresses.
  • WAC team: To ensure that the WAC team can review all files and ensure documents are in a position to share with potential employers (should you want to), we request all folders created are share with a member of our team. Please share links with: caroline@we-are-careers.com
  1. Copy the link: Once you've set the sharing preferences, click "Copy Link."
  2. Share the link: You can now share this link with others via email, chat, or any other platform.

Remember to adjust the permission settings based on what level of access you want others to have (Viewer, Commenter, Editor).
