Lead with your trade
Use the work people are likely to search for, such as electrician, mason, driver, cook or cleaner. Add related skills that you actually use.
Give concrete examples
Instead of “hard-working and experienced”, describe tasks you have done: wiring a small building, preparing meals for a team, plastering walls or organising deliveries.
Be clear about experience
State your experience honestly. Include relevant tools, licences or certificates in your description where appropriate, without publishing sensitive document numbers.
Keep practical details current
Check your location, availability and expected pay. If your availability changes, update your profile so employers are not working with old information.
Match your application to the work
Read the job description. In your message, mention the relevant skills and ask about details that are missing. Avoid sending the same unrelated message to every role.
