A complete, well-maintained profile helps businesses feel confident approving you for shifts. Here's how to put your best foot forward.

Complete your profile

  • Add a clear, professional profile photo

  • Fill in your work experience and any relevant skills

  • Complete all in-app training videos — this signals to businesses that you're prepared

Earn strong ratings

Businesses rate workers after each shift. High ratings make you more visible and more likely to receive Shift Invitations. To earn strong ratings:

  • Arrive on time or early

  • Follow all on-site instructions

  • Communicate proactively if there's an issue

  • Be professional and courteous throughout the shift

Build your attendance record

Cancellations and no-shows negatively affect your standing on Traba. Only claim shifts you are confident you can attend. See: How can I manage attendance and avoid penalties?

Accept Shift Invitations

When businesses invite you directly to shifts, accepting these builds a track record with that business and can lead to more invitations and Long-Term Opportunities over time.

Stay active

Workers who regularly complete shifts tend to get prioritized in search results and shift matching. Even completing a few shifts per month helps maintain your standing.
