How to become your best ally in finding the perfect job with a Gold Trade Me Jobs Profile

With a Gold Tier profile, you’ll get more visibility, plain and simple. Employers want to know about YOU, and are looking out for the Profiles that tell them the most about someone. A Gold Profile allows you to pack yours with relevant information that speaks to the kind of roles you’re after, preferred industries, and locations - whether you’ve had a job before or not.

So, if you’re ready to be seen by more recruiters—and have them see you as a top contender—a Gold Profile can put you a step ahead.

A key benefit of upgrading your Job Profile to Gold is the opportunity to fine-tune your job preferences. By filling in details about your pay expectations, industry interests, and the types of roles you want (whether full-time, part-time, or contract), Trade Me Jobs can help match you with jobs that suit your specific needs. We want to help job seekers save time by focusing only on roles that truly fit, so you’re not wasting hours sorting through jobs that aren’t right.

And for those of you who are already employed, these tailored matches make it easier to keep an eye out for that ideal next step without a constant search.

Upgrading to Gold lets you create a detailed, well-rounded Profile that highlights not just your job history but also your skills and accomplishments. For those with work experience, you can add previous roles, companies, start and end dates, and a description of your responsibilities. This helps potential employers quickly understand your strengths and expertise.

Even if you’re about to launch into your career, a Gold Trade Me Jobs Profile has options for you. There’s an “I don’t have any experience” option, which allows you to share other strengths like education, volunteer work, or relevant skills. This feature is great for showcasing what you do have to offer, even if it’s not traditional job experience.

If you’re already employed, you probably need to consider your notice period when applying for new roles. With a Gold Job Profile, you can specify your availability, so employers know when you’re ready to make a move. This can make a big difference if someone wants staff, fast and needs someone who’s ready. It’s a good way to set clear expectations without needing to explain details in every application.
