# Profile: Experience

![The Experience tab of the User Profile dialog, showing a Software Engineer role at ibl.ai marked Present and Full Time](/images/docs/os/profile/user_profile_experience.webp)

## Overview

The Experience tab of the User Profile dialog records your work history. Its header reads "Keep your professional journey up to date," and each saved role appears as a card showing a company monogram, the job title, the company, the date range, and the employment type (for example: Software Engineer — ibl.ai — Jan 2025 · Present | Full Time).

The panel has two sub-tabs: **Experience** (the role list, shown here) and **Resume**, which handles resume upload and preview — see [Profile: Experience Resume](experience-resume.md).

To reach this screen, click your avatar in the top-right corner of the OS header, open your profile, and select "Experience" in the left navigation rail.

## Target Audience

**User** — any account holder maintaining their own professional history.

## Fields and Controls

#### Experience / Resume sub-tabs
A pill-style switcher at the top of the panel. "Experience" lists work entries; "Resume" manages your uploaded resume file.

#### Add button (+)
The blue "+" button in the top-right corner opens the "Add experience" dialog for creating a new role entry.

#### Experience entry card
Each saved role shows the job title, the company, the start date, either an end date or "Present" for a current role, and the employment type. Hovering an entry reveals a pencil (edit) button that reopens the dialog pre-filled for editing.

#### Add experience dialog
The dialog contains: a **Title** text field; a **Company** dropdown that includes an "Add new company" option for companies not yet listed; an **Employment type** dropdown (for example, Full Time); a **Location** text field; **Start month / Start year** and **End month / End year** dropdowns; and an "**I currently work here**" toggle, which marks the role as ongoing and disables the end-date fields. "Save changes" saves the entry and "Cancel" closes without saving.

## How to Use

#### Step 1: Open the Experience tab
Click your avatar in the top-right of the header, open your profile, and choose "Experience" from the left navigation. The Experience sub-tab is selected by default.

#### Step 2: Add a role
Click the "+" button. Enter the title, company (adding a new company inline if needed), employment type, location, and start date. For your current job, enable "I currently work here" instead of setting an end date.

#### Step 3: Save
Click "Save changes." The role appears as a card in the list. To edit it later, hover the card and click the pencil icon.
