## Onboarding

After creating your account, you'll be shown an onboarding form. In this form, you'll be asked to upload your resume and fill other basic details to complete your profile.

Completing the onboarding flow is optional, you can skip it by clicking on the "Skip Onboarding" button on the top right. You can then fill in this information later.

However, please note that **the more complete your profile, the higher the chances you will be selected for a project**. Empty profiles will likely never receive any project offers, and will almost never be selected for a project among applicants.

Please see the page below on onboarding for information on how to complete your onboarding and increase your chances of being selected for projects.
