Choose "Dashboard"
Using Your Personal, Private Dashboard: See the numbered features in the screenshot below
#2 - Inbox: exchange messages with other users; red circle indicates you received messages
#3 - Save your "favourites", i.e. jobs or expertise you want to shortlist
#4 - Add & track your expertise listings or if a business, your job postings ("listing" is used in both cases here)
#5 - Track your work and income if age 45+ expertise; if a business, use the "My orders / View all my orders" feature
#6 - View / edit your account; add your photo or if a business your company logo; enter your banking information if age 45+ expertise, so that we can process payments into your account (through our payments processor Stripe); you can enter your bank account details later, but note you will not be able to take on any jobs until it is added.
NOTES:
-
Businesses do not need to enter bank account information - you will pay by credit card when you commission work by age 45+ expertise (or let us know if you prefer to use an e-transfer).
-
We do not see nor have access to any user's financial information - that is all entered directly into Stripe's system.
Step 2 - Create your expertise listing or job posting to be visible to other users
-
Use dashboard feature "Add a new listing", (purple button), as in feature #4 in the dashboard example above
-
Choose your relevant category among the 9 options found under "Age 45+ Expertise - All" or for businesses "Business Posted Jobs - All"
-

We review and approve all listings and postings before they go live, which could take up to 24 hours; we may contact you for validation

Add more expertise listings to cover all of your skillset, in the same or different categories
