# update your profile

Your profile is visible to hiring managers reviewing your applications. A complete, accurate profile improves your match quality and increases your chances of being selected for projects.

Access your profile at any time from the left sidebar by clicking your name or the profile icon.

## Profile Sections

### Medical Specialties

Add your clinical specialties (e.g., Internal Medicine, Radiology, Pediatrics). This is the primary signal used to match you to specialty-specific AI projects.

### Resume

Upload or replace your CV/resume (PDF, max 2MB). When you upload a resume, Folio can auto-populate your education, work experience, and skills sections.

### Education

List your academic credentials — degree, institution, field of study, and graduation year. Multiple entries are supported.

### Clinical Experience

Add your professional roles and clinical positions. Include your title, employer, dates, and a brief description of your responsibilities.

### Skills & Tools

Tag the clinical, technical, and software skills relevant to your work. Hiring managers filter candidates by skills, so keep this section current and specific.

### Projects

Add notable projects you have contributed to — research, quality improvement, AI/tech, or clinical initiatives. Include a title, description, and any relevant links.

### About / Bio

Write a brief professional summary. This is freeform text that gives hiring managers context beyond your CV. Keep it concise and focused on your expertise and interests.

### Languages

List the languages you speak and your proficiency level.

### Links

Add your LinkedIn profile URL and any other relevant professional links (personal website, research profiles, publications, etc.).

## Profile Completeness and Job Matching

Folio uses your profile data — particularly your specialties, skills, education, and experience — to surface the most relevant jobs via the **Best Match** filter on the Jobs page. Incomplete profiles receive fewer targeted matches.

**To maximize your match quality:**

* Add at least one medical specialty
* Keep your skills and work experience current
* Upload a recent resume so Folio can verify your background

## Availability Status

At the top of your profile, you can set your availability status using the **AVAILABLE** dropdown. Update this when your availability changes to help Folio route the right opportunities to you.
