Checklists
A Job-Ready Discoverability Checklist
Being job-ready is no longer just about applying for roles. Employers now search for skills, readiness, and clarity before they reach out. This checklist helps you assess whether your profile is easy for employers to find, understand, and act on.
Use it to check if your profile is working for you, even when you are not actively looking for jobs.
1. Are Your Skills Clear and Searchable?
Employers don’t search by job titles alone. They look for specific skills and capabilities.
Check that your profile clearly shows what you can do.

▢ You include both technical and transferable skills
▢ Your skills reflect what you can actually do today
▢ You avoid vague terms that do not explain capability
Clear skills make it easier for employers to understand your value.

Employers want to see both.

▢ Your information feels current, not outdated
▢ Your profile signals reliability and preparedness
Readiness reduces hesitation and encourages employers to reach out.

▢ You respond promptly to enquiries
▢ Your availability is clear
▢ Your profile feels open and approachable
Being reachable protects momentum.
6. Have You Reduced the Need to Apply Repeatedly?
A strong profile reduces how often you need to start from scratch.
Preparation helps your effort compoundto compound over time.
▢ Your profile explains your skills clearly without extra context
▢ You don’t need to rewrite your story for every role
▢ Your profile supports multiple job types or industries

The goal is visibility that works beyond one application.
How WorkPro Ready Supports Discoverability
WorkPro Ready is designed to help your skills and readiness be visible before you apply. A complete profile makes it easier for employers to understand what you can do and whether you are ready to work.
When your information is clear and consistent, employers can find you based on skills and readiness, not just job titles. This changes how conversations start and reduces the need for blind applications.
Visibility happens when your profile clearly shows what you can do and that you are ready to work. When your profile is prepared properly, opportunity does not always require an application. Sometimes it starts with being seen.
Use this checklist regularly to keep your profile working for you.
