Creating and Setting Up Your Worker Profile
To begin your journey with Pagato and access temporary work opportunities,
the first step is to create and set up your worker profile. This profile is your
digital resume and the key to matching you with the right job opportunities.
Here's how to get started:
Personal Information: Start by providing your essential personal details. This
includes your first name, last name, phone number, and date of birth. These
details are crucial for us to verify your identity and ensure that we can contact
you regarding job opportunities.
Can I modify my profile details after initial setup?
Yes, you can update your information, including personal details, resume,
and certifications, at any time through your profile settings.
Profile Picture:
Upload or take a profile picture. A clear and professional-
looking photo adds a personal touch to your profile and helps employers
recognize you when you arrive for your shift. Ensure the picture is recent and
presents you in a professional light.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty uploading profile picture
Advise the worker to ensure the photo meets the specified size
and format requirements (under 10MB, JPEG or PNG format).
Address:
Enter your current address. This information helps us match you with
jobs in your vicinity, reducing commute times and making it easier for you to
accept shifts that fit your schedule.
Setting Your Preferences
Choose Industry:
Pagato caters to a wide range of industries, from transport
and distribution to retail, events, catering, hospitality, and cleaning. Select the
industry or industries where you'd like to work. You can choose multiple
industries to broaden your job search.
Is it possible to apply for jobs across various industries?
Absolutely. Pagato encourages workers to explore opportunities in
multiple industries to maximize their job options and experiences.
However, specializing in one industry may make you a more experienced
professional and optimize your offers in that industry.
Choose Jobs:
Within your selected industries, specify the types of jobs you're
interested in and feel qualified to undertake.
Years of Experience:
Indicate the total years of experience you have in each of
the job roles you've selected. This helps employers understand your level of
expertise and suitability for specific positions. Experience can significantly
impact the opportunities available to you, as some employers may seek
experienced professionals while others may welcome newcomers to the
industry.
Can I list non-traditional or informal job experiences on my profile?
Yes, any relevant experience that demonstrates your skills and abilities
can be included in your profile to showcase your versatility and work
ethic.
Upload Certifications:
If you possess any professional certifications relevant to
your chosen job roles or industries, this is where you upload them. Certifications
can include food safety for hospitality jobs, first aid for healthcare-related
positions, or forklift operation certifications for warehouse roles.
Which certifications are most beneficial for securing jobs on Pagato?
Certifications that align with your chosen industries and job roles are highly
valuable.
Here are some recommendations:
- MAPAQ Food Handler Certification
- ASP Certification for Alcohol Service
- Customer Service Excellence Certification
- RCR and First Aid Certification
- Class 1, 2, or 3 Quebec Driver's License
- Forklift Operator Certification
- Building Service Worker Certificate
Troubleshooting
Difficulty uploading files
Advise the worker to ensure the certifications and resume meet
the specified size and format requirements (under 15MB, JPEG,
PNG, or PDF format). Offer to walk them through the process of
converting files to the correct format.
Upload Resume:
A well-structured and updated resume is crucial. It should
highlight your work history, educational background, and any relevant skills or
achievements. Your resume gives employers a comprehensive view of your
professional journey and helps them assess your fit for their temporary roles.
Languages:
Language skills can be a significant advantage in many job
settings, especially in customer-facing roles or in regions with a diverse
population. Listing the languages you speak fluently (including any sign
languages) can open up additional opportunities and make you a more attractive
candidate to employers who need multilingual staff.
Availability:
Clear communication about your availability is critical for temporary
work. Indicate which days and times (day, evening, overnight) you are available
to work. Being as flexible as possible can increase your job matches, but it's
also important to ensure your availability reflects your actual free time to
maintain a healthy work-life balance.
How frequently can I update my job availability?
You can change your availability as often as needed to reflect your current
schedule, ensuring you only receive job matches that fit your time frame.
