Setting up your student profile is easy and helps the career advising team get to know YOU better and understand your job search preferences so that we can assist you in finding the right opportunities. A complete profile will help the career services team reach out to you if there are job or internship opportunities, interviews, events that match your background, preferences, and skillset.
Let’s take a look at step-by-step guide below for setting up a student profile:

1. Once logged in, head over to the profile tab from the left side nav bar
2. Let’s add a photo of you!
   • This is easy and helps your career advising team get to know the real you!
   • Ensure the photo is professional.
   • Simply click on the gray “Click to add image” box to upload your photo.
3. Update your Headline
   • Your 12Twenty headline is visible to fellow students & alumni (and soon employers)
   • Let everyone get to know you and create opportunities by sharing what you are seeking for your next career move!
   • ProTip: To view what other students, alumni, and employers see, simply click “Public View”
4. Complete your “Background” tab
   • This information will help the career services office get to know YOU better and assist you in finding the right job and networking opportunities.
   • Some of these fields are searchable via the “Candidate Search” functionality that allows employers and school admins to create dynamic resume books based on your skills.
   • Once you find a job, you will no longer appear in the Employer Candidate Search.
   • If your school has the “Student and Alumni Networking” Module you can also opt in to allow your peers (students and alumni) to find you in the Student and Alumni Directory based on these fields.
     • Note: You can opt out of both anytime by updating your Account Settings.
   • Once you click on the pencil icon next to each section on the background tab, a new pop-up will appear.
5. Click the “Update” button to save your changes.
6. Sync your KTN events and appointments to your calendar so you don’t miss what you’ve signed up for!
   • Once logged in, click on the Person Icon in the bottom left corner of the page, and then select “Account Settings”.
   • Select “Integrations” at the top
   • Under “Calendar Access Authorization” select “Microsoft”
   • Connect your AU Outlook account.
   • Select “Yes” next to “Sync from 12twenty to my personal calendar” to configure your calendar sync.
   • Find more support: Calendar Sync – 12twenty Support
7. Your profile is ready to go!

• Head over to the “Application Materials” tab to upload your career search documents
  • Under each Application type header, click the “+ Add New Document” button.
  • Choose a document from your computer and give it a name.
  • Note: The document name is not visible to employers and there are no limits – upload as many documents as you need.
  • All Application documents (outside of the URL section) must be uploaded in PDF format to ensure employers can easily download these into “Application packets.”
• In the Resume Section: Check the box called “This is my primary resume” to feature one resume in the Employer Candidate Search module.
  • This module allows Employers to filter for candidates who match their hiring criteria.
  • If your profile and resume match what the employer is seeking in a candidate, they can reach out to you with the job opportunity.
  • Note: If resume approval is enabled, your resume will go through a “review and approval” process before you can begin to use it as an official document for job postings, interviews, Candidate Search, and event registrations. Click the “Submit for approval” button to initiate the resume approval process with the career services team. We will reach out to you if we have any feedback after reviewing your resume.
