Proof over Paper Portfolio
Turn your resume into a verified trade portfolio that proves what you can do — not just what you claim.
Why it matters
Most employers skim resumes. Portfolios with proof (photos, tickets, videos, job logs, references) earn attention, build trust, and fast‑track interviews. BluFutur wraps your skills, evidence, and credentials into a single link you can share in applications and at interviews.
Outcome
More call‑backs, clearer fit, fewer back‑and‑forth questions, and a stronger salary position.
What is a BluFutur Portfolio?
A living profile for trade professionals that combines:
- Skills & experience mapped to industry standards
- Licences, tickets & certifications (verified where possible)
- Job evidence (before/after photos, short videos, site logs)
- Work history & references with contactable details
- Safety & compliance records (SWMS, inductions, white card, PPE)
- Quality signals (awards, customer reviews, NPS, rework rates)
Benefits vs a resume-only application
Trust at a glance: Employers see real jobs you’ve delivered, gear you can operate, and safety you’ve practiced.
Faster screening: Evidence answers the usual “Have you done…?” questions up front.
Better matching: Our AI reads your portfolio and matches you to roles by skills, licences, site conditions, and equipment you’ve used.
Stronger interview: You arrive with a visual story and verified proof, not guesses.
Career progression: Gaps become training goals with course recommendations built in.
How to prep your profile (from resume → portfolio)
Follow these steps to be interview‑ready in under 2 mins:
Upload your resume (PDF or DOC). We’ll pre‑fill work history, skills, tickets, and contact details.
Confirm contact & work rights. Add suburb, travel radius, shift preferences, and ABN (if contracting).
Add licences & tickets. White card, high risk work, EWP, confined spaces, Working at Heights, asbestos, CPR/LVR, gas fitter, etc. Include issue/expiry dates and issuer. Upload clear images.
Show your gear & systems. List tools and platforms you’ve used (e.g., Hilti, Ridgid, Leica, SimPRO, Groundplan, Upvise). Add photos if relevant.
Publish 3–5 proof jobs. For each job: scope, your role, tools/materials, standards followed, safety steps, and one result photo (before/after if available). Keep it short.
Add short video evidence (optional). 20–40s clips: “What the issue was, how I fixed it, and the result.” Phone footage is fine.
Log safety & compliance. SWMS you’ve used, inductions completed, incidents (if any) and learnings.
Include references. Add at least two supervisors/clients with permission to be contacted. Mark availability times.
Check skills coverage. Our AI flags missing items for the roles you’re targeting (e.g., brazing, fault finding, rough‑in, commissioning). Accept suggestions or add training.
Set your goals. Choose next‑step roles (e.g., Leading Hand, Estimator, Service Tech) and we’ll surface course pathways to close any gaps.
Tip: Prioritise recent, high‑impact jobs that mirror the roles you want. One strong example beats five weak ones.
What employers look for (make these visible)
- Reliability: attendance, punctuality, job close‑outs
- Safety first: JSA/SWMS, permits, PPE, Take‑5s
- Quality workmanship: tidy finishes, standards compliance (AS/NZS)
- Problem solving: faults diagnosed, constraints handled
- Team fit: communication, leadership moments, customer feedback
The more verification, the higher your Portfolio Trust Signal on your profile.
How this gets you hired faster
- Clear signal: Recruiters can validate capability in minutes.
- Less risk: Evidence reduces uncertainty vs resume claims.
- Aligned fit: AI‑matching ranks you highly for roles that fit your proof, not just keywords.
- Interview ready: Walk in with a link and QR — show, don’t tell.
Privacy & control
You decide what to show publicly. Sensitive items (ID, full certificates) can be view‑only to verified employers. Revoke access anytime.
