# Account Onboarding

> What to expect after signing up for WorkBolt.

## Onboarding steps

After creating and verifying your account, you'll go through a 6-step onboarding process to complete your profile and get matched with projects.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Welcome">
    A brief introduction to WorkBolt and what to expect from the platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Basic Information">
    Provide personal details including your location, timezone, and demographic information. This helps us match you with the right projects.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Resume and Work Background">
    Upload your resume and add details about your work experience, education, skills, and professional background. You can also include links to your LinkedIn, portfolio, or other relevant profiles.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Language Questionnaire">
    Tell us about the languages you speak and your proficiency levels
  </Step>

  <Step title="Recording">
    Record a short voice sample so we can review your audio quality, clarity, and accent. Please make sure your recording is clear, easy to understand, and spoken in your natural voice.

    We may keep your voice sample on file and contact you about voice-acting opportunities if your profile is a good match.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Availability">
    Set your timezone, when you're available to start, and how many hours per week you can commit. You can also specify your day-by-day availability.

## What happens after onboarding

<Steps>
  <Step title="Application review">
    Your profile is reviewed by the WorkBolt team. This typically takes **1–2 business days**. However, this timeframe can vary based on multiple factors. You'll receive an email once the review is complete.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Final setup">
    Once approved, you'll complete a final setup process:

    1. **Identity & Payment Setup** — verify your identity and set up your payment account through Dots
    2. **Join Discord** — connect with the WorkBolt community on Discord
    3. **Platform Instructions** — review an overview of how the platform works
    4. **Emails** –– ensure that [support@workbolt.ai](mailto:support@workbolt.ai) is marked as a safe sender and avoid losing our communications to spam
    5. **Email Security** — Only trust emails sent from [**support@workbolt.ai**](mailto:support@workbolt.ai). Do not respond to messages from other email addresses claiming to represent WorkBolt, as they may be impersonation or phishing attempts
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start working">
    After final setup, you'll have full access to the dashboard where you can explore jobs, apply to projects, and start earning.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
