Why bother with your profile?
Because in our small world, it really matters.
Because in our small world, it really matters.
Your profile isn’t just a form—it’s your shopfront, your handshake, your “Hey! Remember me?” in the Deaf community.
Chances are, customers are scrolling the app wondering:
👉 “Is that the interpreter from that other time?”
👉 “What’s their sign name again?”
A clear photo and short intro video take out the guesswork and make it easy for people to say, “Yep, that’s them!”
First impressions count (and they book faster, too)
When your profile’s polished, people feel confident. A fab photo, a quick video bio, and your credentials all sorted = instant trust.
On the flip side - A blank or half-done profile says “I’m not ready” (even if you totally are).
Let’s make it easy for Deaf customers to choose you:
- 📸 Use a clear, friendly profile photo – not a passport mugshot. (Up to date! !!)
- 🎥 Record a short video bio – your face, your personality, your signing. Say hi, share your name sign, and a little about your experience.
- 🧾 Add your NAATI number and any specialties – Medical? Theatre? Children? Let people know.
- ✨ Show a bit of you – Are you calm in chaos? Love working in teams? Say so!
Why it works
People book interpreters they recognise, trust, and feel a connection with. Your profile is your chance to show up with warmth, clarity, and a little personality. And once people know you? They’ll come back.
