The new Career Profile design is now available in Compass! Featuring more photos, color, dynamic content, related links and resources, and an easy-to-navigate layout, the redesigned Career Profiles are more engaging to students and better highlight your company and careers.
The new design is available for all new and existing profiles. We will gradually roll out these changes as profiles are updated and added. As an employer in Compass, you can view the new layout by logging into your account, locating one of your Career Profiles, and clicking “Preview.” The new format looks best with at least four career-related photos and one vertical video on YouTube.
We redesigned Career Profiles to better meet student preferences as described in their survey responses earlier this year. Learn more about the student Career Profile survey and its results.
Making the most of the new design
We recommend updating your Career Profiles to take advantage of the new layout and features. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photos: Upload at least four images (two horizontal and two vertical) to your Career Profile of employees in the role working at your company.
- Video: Link to at least one vertical, short (under one minute) video from your YouTube channel. Short career interviews, a mini tour of your facility, or a look into a particular career are great options. We can help if you need ideas to get started! Copy the embedded link from YouTube and paste it into the video location in the Career Profile form.
- Links: Update your Career Profile with links to your company home page, career pages, social pages, career in O*NET Online, and any other related resources. Make it easy for students to learn more about you and follow along.
- Written content: Shorten and refresh your content to enable students to scan and learn about your company and careers.
Creating and sharing your Career Profiles
Remember, all Golden Path employer members may create and publish unlimited employer-written Career Profiles in Compass. We even have a template to help you with the process. You can also purchase Golden Path professionally written Career Profiles for $500 each, if you’d like us to handle the entire process for you. Now is a great time to add a few new Career Profiles to better tell your story and create new ways to connect with students.
Connections Memberships and higher include one or more Golden Path-written Career Profiles. We’ll research the role, conduct the interview, write and edit the Career Profile, help you determine which images to use, and create the YouTube career interview video for you.
Finally, Awareness Members and higher can share their Compass employer profile and Career Profile links with anyone – a Compass account isn’t required for viewing. From your employer Compass page, simply click on the “Open URL” button to copy a unique, shareable link. Share it in emails, social posts, on your company website, during classroom visits, at career fairs, and more. You can follow a similar process for individual Career Profiles.
