1. I want to be considered and contacted for job opportunities with Profil International's clients. What should I do?
You can send your detailed resume through e-mail (preferred), fax or mail. Your resume is recorded in our database and is continuously evaluated against career opportunities available through our clients. Our consultants will contact you first, as soon as there is a relevant job opportunity that might suit your credentials.



2. When I send my resume to Profil International, what are the following steps?
Your resume is recorded in our database. If you have applied to a specific (advertised) position;
- The relevant consultant evaluates your application.
- If you might suit the position in question, our consultant will contact you first.
- If you and our consultant agree so, we have an initial interview with you.
- After the initial interview, if you still are a potential candidate for the position, further interviews take place with us and later with our client until a final decision is made.
- If you are not contacted upon your application, this means that the evaluation process is still continuing.
- At the end of the evaluation process, if you are not the right-fit for the particular position, we will thank you for your interest either through a phone call or letter.
- We can then consider your application for coming opportunities. On your side, you should update your resume periodically and whenever there is a change in your contact information or job.
If you have NOT applied for a specific position (a general application);
- Your resume is continuously evaluated against career opportunities available through our clients.
- Our consultants get in touch with you first, as soon as there is a relevant job opportunity that might suit your credentials.
- You should update your resume periodically and whenever there is a change in your contact information or job.



3. When I apply, how long does it take you to get back?
Our consultants may not contact you, if we do not have career opportunities that might suit your credentials. We aim for the "right-fit", that is almost the ideal situation. This might be within days, weeks or months upon your application, depending on the opportunities that may arise. However, as long as you keep us up-to-date about yourself, you are considered for potential career opportunities for the duration of your professional career. You only need to keep your resume up-to-date.



4. It is very important that my information is kept confidential. How do you ensure that?
At Profil International confidentiality of information regarding our clients and candidates is an utmost priority. Our consultants and other team members, you might guess, are recruited accordingly. They receive training on relevant procedures to keep your information confidential. Some of the confidentiality procedures are listed below:
- Your name or any other information that might reveal your identity is NOT mentioned to our client or any other party without first getting your consent.
- Even when sharing some of your credentials with our clients, we do not disclose your resume. Instead we submit a special "Candidate Report" that does not reveal your name, current employer, position title and contact information.
- Even if, without knowing, you have applied to a position at your current employer, this application is kept confidential.
- Our resume files are physically secured, and our database is secured against outsiders.



5. I have applied to a position, but haven't received a response yet. What does this mean?
This means that the evaluation process is still continuing. You will receive a response, as soon as the evaluation is completed. In some cases the project might be suspended or project deadline is extended due to several reasons. In such cases, you might need to check with us about the situation.



6. Do you charge a fee to candidates (professionals)?
No. We do NOT charge any fee to our candidates either upon application, assessment, placement or career counseling.



7. I want to update my resume. What should I do?
You should send your detailed resume (preferably with your reference number) via e-mail, or fax.



8. My resume has not changed. Should I still update it?
Yes. If you do not update, your resume will become out-of-date in our records even if your job and contact information is the same.



9. I want to increase my chance of an interview. How do you prefer a resume?
If you have fluent English, we prefer your resume in English. We also prefer e-mail applications, which makes the evaluation process easier and faster. If we have your e-mail address, it will be easier and faster to reach you confidentially. Besides language and e-mail, we look at some basic conditions:
- If you are applying for a particular advertisement, you should quote the reference of the particular position you are interested in.
- Details (Title, activities, responsibilities and achievements etc.) of your work experiences, especially about recent ones.
- Start and end dates of your work experiences in months and years.
- Although not necessary, you can include a cover letter stating your objective and intention, if you are applying for a specific ad.
