Your Professional Network Needs A Verified Profile
Why should you have a verified Peerlist profile?
Elon Musk hired me as a Marketing head of Twitter! Don’t believe me? Here is the proof 👇
Is this enough to make you believe that I work for Twitter? Think about it.
Would you add me to your network based on what I have mentioned on my social profiles?
Do you want to know how I got this job?
It was a simple process. I went on LinkedIn, added the experience, and similarly, tweeted the same. Ta-da, I got the job.
Do I remind you of someone? Yes, I am talking about the prank that Rahul Ligma pulled - two men carrying boxes were seen standing near the entrance to Twitter’s San Francisco building, claiming to have been laid off by Elon Musk!
They never worked for Twitter. They lied and the media believed them.
There is another epic example - the story of Circuit City.
One company went out of business, resulting in a few unemployed people that too during the great recession. What did they do? They all covered each other’s resumes. They lied about what positions on which they were working. Why did that happen? There was no way to prove otherwise. There was no way to verify what they had mentioned.
However, time has changed. Now, we can verify if you worked, studied, etc at the mentioned organizations.
One badge that can verify all of them individually. Before you connect with a fellow peer, you can be sure about their credentials. No more lies. No more fraud/scams.
This is what we are offering at Peerlist. We are offering a work/education verification badge - a green badge.
Why should you have a verified Peerlist profile?
Here verified Peerlist profile means - verifying your work experience if you are a working professional, and verifying your studying background, if you are a student.
These are the reasons why a verified profile can help you -
Credibility
Verified work experience gives employers confidence that you have the necessary skills and experience to perform the job effectively. When you can provide evidence that you have worked in a similar role or industry, it adds credibility to your portfolio and shows that you have the necessary experience.
Competitive Advantage
In a competitive job market, verified work experience can help you stand out from other candidates. It demonstrates that you are responsible enough to go through the verification which in turn saves the time of the organization that is hiring.
Career Growth And Opportunities
As you gain experience and build your skills, and mention promotions or more senior roles within the company (by the way, with Peerlist, you can now add a new role to your profile and proudly mark it as a promotion), you showcase your growth.
This gives a good perspective to people in your professional network. Verified work experience can open up new opportunities for career growth and advancement.
Demonstrate Your Expertise
Having a verified profile on Peerlist can also help you demonstrate your expertise. When peers see that your profile is verified, they are more likely to trust that you have the knowledge and expertise necessary to provide valuable insights and advice.
Access exclusive features
Finally, having a verified Peerlist profile gives you access to exclusive features that are not available to non-verified users. For example, verified users can DM people on Peerlist itself, and they can host an AMA as well.
We emphasize credibility and that's what we want to support. So, if you haven't verified your Peerlist profile yet, go get it verified!
