Use a 3-step “How it works”

Step 1

Create a work profile
Show your skills using video, photos, voice or short text — no perfect CV needed.

Step 2

Show how you work
Roles are broken into simple steps so you can demonstrate real skills, not just talk about them.

Employers see how you work, and both sides can decide if it’s a good match before interviews.

Built from university research. Designed for inclusive hiring.

For Job Seekers

Finding the right job is about more than what is on paper. It is about showing who you are. With a Digital Story Résumé, you can stand out from the crowd by sharing your skills, personality and passion through video and visuals. Employers see the real you, not just a list of experience.

Own Words helps job seekers make a lasting impression and connect with opportunities that truly fit them.

For Employers

Finding the right candidate goes beyond reading a résumé. With Digital Story Résumés, you can see a candidate’s skills, communication and personality before the interview even begins. It helps you discover who truly fits your team, not just who looks good on paper.

Own Words makes recruitment faster, smarter and more personal by connecting you with job seekers who bring their stories to life.
