# Complete your profile

Your profile on Scholars will be visible to our project managers, select teams, and select clients. When selecting people for work on projects, we will read what you have entered in your profile and make a decision accordingly.

Thus, to improve your chances of being selected for projects, the best way is to completely fill your profile with as much relevant information as possible.

If your profile is still incomplete after signup, Scholars may send reminder emails with a link back to your profile.

## How do I complete my profile?

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Complete your Resume page

Navigate to <https://app.scholars.net/talent/profile>, and then to the Resume tab. Ensure you have uploaded a profile picture and that all information is filled in. When you're done, click on *Save changes* at the top.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review your skills and languages

From the same page, go to the *Skills & Languages* tab.

Add the skills and languages that describe the work you can do. For each language, choose both a productive proficiency level for writing and speaking, and a receptive proficiency level for reading and listening.

You can select up to 10 skills during profile completion. If you reach the limit, remove a selected skill before adding another one.

Some skills or languages may already be marked as vetted. Vetted items cannot be removed or changed from your profile, because they were verified through an assessment or by the Scholars team.

Click on *Save changes* when you're done.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter your availability

By default, we assume you are never available, so it's important to mark yourself as available whenever you can work.

From the same page, go now to the *Availability* tab and set your availability. Click on *Save changes* when you're done.

If you can start right away, choose *Immediately* as your earliest start. Once you have added your earliest start, weekly commitment, timezone, and working hours, Scholars treats your availability as complete.

### Review your account details

From the same page, go to the *Account* tab to see whether you have a workspace account. If a workspace account has been created for you, this tab shows the email address and lets you reset its password.

For more detail, see [Use your workspace account](/how-to/use-your-workspace-account.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scholars.net/how-to/complete-your-profile.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
