Completing your profile isn’t just a formality; it’s a strategic step that can significantly impact the quality of matches you receive.
Your profile is your digital introduction to potential mentors and mentees. It’s a snapshot of your professional and personal background, highlighting who you are, what you do, and what you seek to achieve through mentorship.
At OneUpOneDown, our primary goal is to provide you with high-quality matches. We achieve this by carefully analyzing the information in your personal account to find compatible mentorship pairs. Your profile acts as the foundation upon which we build these connections.
Types of information within your profile
1. Private information: Those fields are the questions that are part of the onboarding process. This is where it is crucially important to be as honest as you can be. We use this information to power our AI engine and to propose a mentor/mentee that best fits your profile, goals, and expectations.
2. Public information: Those fields are the questions/answers that will be shown to your mentor/mentee as fields you both have in common or your bio, LinkedIn profile, etc. We use this information to help your mentor/mentee make a better decision when you propose a match.
