Check out this overview to get updated on all the new features we have launched the past few months!
Our navigation now has "dropdown menus" giving you a better overview of the options in each section. Our hope is that you will find it much easier to navigate on the site. We have placed dropdown menus below the most essential sections.
Now you can create a public link (URL) to your CV and your Sedcard. Go to your CV, click on edit and fill in a username that you want in your address. Example: https://en.stagepool.com/cv/yourname/12345. The word marked with green is your username in the URL. You can create a new username for each CV and it must be unique, i.e. the username must not have been taken by sombody else. First come, first served...
Now you don't need to enter all details in your CV all over again if you want to create a new CV. Enter your CV and simply click on "Copy" to create an exact copy of the CV you're currently watching. The new copy opens automatically and you can start editing immediately.
You can now address your CV's by creating a CV title for each CV, e.g. "The actor CV" or "Short CV". It makes it easier for you to separate your CV's when you want to apply for a job.
Now you can decide in which order you want your photos in your CV to show. You can of course still also select which one of the photos you want to set as your primary CV photo. To sort your photo order, point on your main photo on your CV and click on the sort icon. In the popup window that opens, simply drag and drop the photos in the order you wish. Close the window when you're finished.
Now you can take a photo with your web cam directly in your CV. Point on your main CV photo and click on the camera icon to take a quick photo for your CV. Your browser will probably ask for permission to use your web camera.
It's now visually crearer where to click to edit respective section in the CV. Click on the blue edit buttons to go directly to each section of the CV.
Now you can add associations such as unions and organisations to your CV to show that you're professional and authorized. We have entered the biggest European associations in our database.
Now you can add your own skills if you don't find what you're looking for among the skills in our database.
If you have received awards and honors you can now show this on your CV. Go to your CV edit pages and click on "Awards & honors" to enter all details.
We have now introduced a new requirement when it comes to deleting a CV. In order to delete a CV you must have at least one more CV to make this possible. Furthermore, your "last" CV must now contain at least one photo. If you try to delete the last photo in the only CV you have left, you will be reminded that you must have at least one more CV with at least one uploaded photo. These minimum requirements are introduced since many members delete photos and CV's by mistake or forget to replace any of them with new ones. Another important reason is that formerly made job applications are automatically deleted when the last CV is deleted. However, if you delete a CV and still have at least one CV with at least one photo left, your formerly made job applications you did with your recently deleted CV will attach your existing CV automatically.
Make it clearer on your CV that you have a firm and can charge fees and remunerations by invoice. Tick the checkbox under Edit CV > general.
When you apply for a job with DigiCV without filling in the personal message field and/or if the CV you have chosen doesn't include an attached file (document, audio, video, link etc.), you will be reminded that a personal message as well as a few attached files will improve your chances to get the job. The personal message is written directly in the message field when you apply for the job. Go to your CV and attach files in edit mode before you apply.
Now when you enter a CV that is missing a photo we immediately prompt you to upload a photo as soon as possible. Just follow the instructions in the popup to start the upload.
We have added new voice levels; high voice, middle voice and deep voice for everybody that doesn't sing but who still works with her/his voice, e.g. actors, speakers, audiobook readers etc. Remember to upload a voice sample as well so that employers can listen to your voice.
Now we have customized the CV for all of you who work behind the stage or behind the camera! Settings for appearance and acting age have been removed since this isn't relevant information for your professions. Furthermore, we added the possibility to enter what kind of equipment you have or can handle, optional of course. To create a "backstage-CV", simply select a backstage profession as main profession and your CV setting options will adjust automatically.
We have now locked up the possibility to show wage demands directly on the CV (Note! this must be handled very carefully and does only work with specific professions and situations. We recommend that most people don't set wage demands on their CV since this can affect negotiations in a negative way). The possibility will primarily give freelancers on backstage level and who probably have their own firm, a chance to present their fixed pricesfor their services. You can also set several cities and countries on your CV if you live in or have the possibility to live in more than one place, for professional availability. You will be searchable in these areas. We have also added hobbies and possibility to add references directly in the CV.
The format Sedcard (also known as Comp cardor Composite card) has formerly been a well-used tool in the model industry but has lately become very popular among actors and performers as well. So we thought, why not introduce this for all professions in the whole industry and set new standards!? A Sedcard is a small portfolio, a composition of photos and the most important personal details along with name, profession and contact information. A Sedcard doesn't contain working experience, education/training or skills as in an ordinary full-scale CV, but is more of a "smart card". For those of you who don't have any use of portrait photos, an alternative can be to upload pictures of your creations, demonstrations etc. All CV's created on StagePool have a "Sedcard view". Click on "View as Sedcard" when you've entered your CV.
Now you can change payment method if you want to change to or between monthly direct debet or credit card. Go to My account > Subscriptions and click on "change payment method". https://en.stagepool.com/account/manage/subscriptionlist.aspx
We have added more than 100 new professions for backstage-workers, i.e. everybody working behind, below, above stage or behind the camera, in all sections from pre- to post-production. We will successively strengthen our positions and offer jobs for everybody in the whole entertainment industry. And as you might have noticed we have already started. Remember that if you choose any of these backstage professions as main profession in your CV, some functions on the website and in your CV can get different functionality (some settings might not apply to backstage workers).
If you have chosen a backstage profession as main profession in your CV, the backstage jobs that match your CV won't be matched on acting age since this information isn't required for backstage CV's anymore.
We removed the profession "Other" from our system and all CV's that had this profession as main profession or secondary profession. If you had this profession selected in your CV, we have replaced it manually with the profession/s that best matched your working experience. You who have been effected by this was informed in advance.
Now it's much clearer to see if you're logged in and who you're logged in as. In the upper right corner you now see your latest selected primary CV photo whenever you're logged in.
Set what language/languages is/are your native language/s. This is very helpful for emnployers who really need to find people who speak a specific language 100% fluently. Enter native language the same way you enter knowledge level below the language list. First mark your language in the left list, then in the droplist "level", set the language as "native".
We have added yet another field to describe each education in detail. Use the field "description" if you want to describe the perticular program, course etc. you took part of. Enter each education you have entered and click on the edit button (scissors icon) to add a description to your existing educations.
A much asked-for function is now available on your CV. You can now add a photo gallery with the content of your choice directly on your CV. Enter the edit section for multimedia ("Videos, music, voice samples and links") where you upload your pictures. Select the type "Image (To gallery)" and upload the images one by one. All images will be found by clicking "Photo gallery" directly in your CV.
Now you can easily choose to show job ads that have expired on your job page. As you may know, expired jobs disappear automatically but by clicking on "include expired" in the search filter at the top of the job page, you may show them again. You can also choose to the jobs you have applied for by clicking on "Only applied".
Ever seen the flags above our navigation? You can see them if you have signed in to StagePool and they give you the possibility to browse our German and Scandinavian websites as well. These sites can contain the same jobs as we do but mostly they also have other local jobs, so if you're interested in working abroad you should start using these flags to navigate on our national pages. As a paying member you always have access to all our countries' websites.
Under "Messages & Answers" you can now remove applications you have done on StagePool. You can also hide (Note that this is permanent!) job applications to expired job ads. This feature is great if you want to clean your messages and answers page.
