Profile Sections
Your profile is organised into several sections. Let's go through each one.
Personal Information
This section includes your basic details: This table is not viewable on this platform. Please use a browser to view this article. Note: Use a clear, professional photo where your face is visible. This helps operators identify you on-site.
Contact Preferences
Choose how you'd like to be contacted:
Email notifications — Assignment offers, approvals, and updates
SMS alerts — Urgent notifications and reminders
In-app notifications — Updates visible when you sign in
You can enable or disable each type depending on your preferences.
Work Preferences
Help operators match you with suitable work:
Work types — Select the kinds of work you're interested in (tours, events, hospitality, etc.)
Travel radius — How far you're willing to travel for assignments
Preferred locations — Specific areas or venues you prefer

Maximum hours — The most hours you can work in a day or week
Being specific about your preferences means more relevant offers and fewer declines.
