Your Monash page should be updated regularly. Let's do a quick health-check.

1. When did you last check your Monash webpage? Let's go there now and see how you are doing. Take down some points to work on later as you improve it.

2. See if the information there in your blurb is relevant, up-to-date and neatly curated.

3. Are there changes that need to be made to your Pure Profile?

4. Does your MIDS need to be updated?

5. Do you want to add a resume to your profile? Remember to update your resume at least twice a year here.

6. Have you checked your ORCID ID and SCOPUS PROFILE? There might be outdated information there. There are links on your Monash page to both of them. Also, ensure what you are saying across these three platforms is the same.

7. It would be good to do a quick check every six months of this page. Add it as a twice-a-year reminder to your calendar.

8. Why are we doing this? This is your most official representation of who you are and your work. Those at Monash and around the world, check your webpage when they are looking you up. So if it's outdated, you are selling yourself short.
