My Profile

We all know how important it is to have one place people can refer to whenever they want to find out about your professional background and current professional situation. But creating and updating a personal website can be a lot of work, and we are all very busy professionals. This is why we firmly believe GeoWorld is the smartest tool for you to show people who you are and what you do, every single time you want to.

Why use GeoWorld as your personal website


GeoWorld provides, not only the benefits of a regular personal website, but also allows you:

  1. Have your profile ready in less than half an hour, complete with your contact information, professional photo, academic and work experience, languages and awards
  2. Update your information easily and fast, so you can communicate changes in your professional life, including your achievements, as soon as they occur
  3. Keep a professional webpage without needing any programming skills, without paying someone else to do it for you, and, most importantly, saving time you can now spend otherwise. The forms are there, letting you know exactly what you can fill out
  4. Present all this information exactly where you need to: among other geoengineering professionals, academicians, companies and organizations. This provides the opportunity for anyone in the field to learn about you, and view your credentials within the ideal context.

How to enrich your profile?


Adding or replacing a profile picture, adding your educational background/work experience/languages or awards are some simple tasks to boost your profile and make it look consistent in the business directory.

For example you can add Educational Background by simply filling in the corresponding form (as shown below).
Change your profile photo: Select an image, crop it and then submit it. Due to caching you might need to reload the page by pressing Ctrl+F5

Your photo change will be immediately reflected in Group Discussions, Q&As etc. and in the Geotechnical Business Directory (after its daily update).
