As many of you know, we have a great app that helps you with your job search. It’s a great way to connect with employers and get the gig you want.
We are now introducing a new feature to the app where you can earn Skills Badges. As soon as you open the app and complete your profile, you will get access to these challenges which when completed, earns you a badge.
The badges available are Handling Emergencies, Communication, Customer Care, Searching Procedures, Use of Force, and Conflict Management.
They are a great way to showcase your skills and boost your profile. Once the badges have been earned, they’ll be displayed on your profile along with your CV for employers to see.
To earn the badges, you must log in every day and ensure you answer the quiz-style questions delivered that day. The badges vary in length from taking two days to six days.
