Verification

Adding qualifications to unlock better paid tasks

23 January 2026 · 4 min read

Qualifications tell the task network what you can do. Here is what the education, experience, language and skills sections should contain.

Verification proves who you are. Qualifications tell the network what you can do. They are separate on purpose: a verified account can withdraw money, but a well described profile is what puts higher paying tasks in front of you.

Where to find the form

Open the verification centre and choose the qualifications entry, or go to the qualifications page directly. Everything saves as you go, so you can add one section today and the rest later without losing anything.

Education

List what you actually completed, with the institution and the field. A secondary school certificate is worth adding. So is an unfinished degree, listed honestly as unfinished. Task makers commissioning subject specific work often filter on field of study, so a plain entry like "BSc, Agricultural Science" can be the reason a task appears for you.

Experience

Describe roles in one or two lines each, in ordinary words. "Two years handling customer complaints by phone and WhatsApp" is more useful than a job title alone. Informal and self employed work counts. Market trading, tutoring, farm management, transcription for a church or school, running a shop's social accounts: these all map to real task categories.

Languages

This is the section with the biggest effect on what you are offered. Add every language you genuinely use, and be honest about the level. Language work is one of the largest sources of demand on the network, especially for languages with few written examples online. Native fluency in a language that models handle poorly is a genuinely scarce skill.

Skills

Keep skills specific. "Spreadsheets", "audio recording", "medical terminology", "driving" and "photography" are all easier to match than "hardworking" or "fast learner".

Keeping it current

Revisit the form when something changes: a new certificate, a new job, a language you have improved. The matching runs against whatever is on your profile at the time a task is published, so an out of date profile quietly costs you work.
