# Create an AI trainer account Sign up as an AI trainer on OpenTrain AI, build your profile from your résumé, and verify your email so you can apply to jobs. Source: https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/trainers/create-account/ Use an AI trainer account if you want to find paid AI training and data labeling work on OpenTrain AI, apply to jobs, and get paid. Setup has two parts: create your account, then build your profile from your résumé. If you run a data labeling company with a team, set up an [agency account](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/account-setup/#agency-onboarding) instead. If you want to hire AI trainers, see [Create an employer account](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/employers/create-account/). ## Before you start - **An email address you can open.** At the end of setup, OpenTrain AI sends a 6-digit code to it. - **Your résumé** as a PDF, DOC, DOCX, or TXT file, up to 10 MB, or its text to paste in. OpenTrain AI reads it and fills in most of your profile for you. - **A mobile phone**, in some countries, to receive a 6-digit code by text message. ## Create your account ### Open the sign-up page Go to [app.opentrain.ai](https://app.opentrain.ai) and choose **Sign up**. On **Create your AI Trainer account**, enter your email address and a password of at least 8 characters, then select **Create account**. ![The Create your AI Trainer account page with fields for email address and password and the Create account button.](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/images/screenshots/trainers/account-setup/signup-form-desktop.png) ### Choose the AI trainer account type On **Tell us more about your goal**, select **I'm a Freelance AI Trainer**.

It takes about 30 minutes, and your progress is saved, so you can stop and come back later. A counter at the top of each screen shows where you are, for example **1/7**. Your profile goes live, and you can apply to jobs, only after you finish. ### Upload your résumé On **Start with your résumé**, select **Choose my résumé** and upload your résumé. You can also select **Paste my résumé text instead**. If you keep a separate résumé for AI training or data labeling work, open **Have a second résumé for AI training or data labeling?** and add it there. Then select **Continue: build my profile**. ![The Start with your résumé screen at step 1 of 7, with an uploaded résumé (file name blurred), the optional second résumé for AI training work, and the Continue: build my profile button. A preview of your profile is on the right.](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/images/screenshots/trainers/account-setup/wizard-resume-step-desktop.png) An AI model reads your résumé and fills in your experience, skills, education, work history, location, and languages. Wait on **Building your profile** until it finishes. ### Confirm your details On **Confirm your details**, fill in what your résumé did not say: the country you live in, your city, your LinkedIn profile (optional), your preferred hourly rate in US dollars, your weekly availability, and who can see your profile. In some countries, OpenTrain AI also asks you to verify a phone number. Enter a mobile number, then enter the 6-digit code from the text message. Your number is not shared with employers. If your résumé left out other details, such as your AI training experience or the languages you work in, OpenTrain AI asks for them one at a time. ### Review your profile **Review your profile** shows everything OpenTrain AI took from your résumé, in sections: professional details, AI training and data labeling experience, work history, education, and rate and availability. Select **Edit section** to fix anything that is wrong. Then select **Continue to profile photo**. ![The Review your profile screen at step 5 of 7, with the message Your résumé did the heavy lifting, the Professional details section, and a preview of the finished profile on the right.](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/images/screenshots/trainers/account-setup/wizard-review-step-desktop.png) ### Add a profile photo Upload a clear photo so employers can recognize you, then select **Continue with this photo**. You can also select **Skip for now** and add one later. ### Verify your email and publish OpenTrain AI sends a 6-digit code to your email address. Enter it and select **Verify email and publish profile**. If the code did not arrive, select **Send a new code**. If the email address is wrong, select **Wrong email? Update it**. When you see **Your OpenTrain profile is live**, select **Go to my workspace**. If the code does not arrive or is not accepted, see [Sign-in and verification code help](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/sign-in-help/). For what to write in your profile, and how to make it stand out to employers, see [Profile setup](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/trainers/profile-setup/). > Tip > > Use your full, current résumé. The more it says about your AI training and data labeling work, the less you need to type in later. ## After you finish **Go to my workspace** opens your AI trainer home. From here you can find jobs, see your applications, and manage your work. If you started from a job's apply link, OpenTrain AI takes you back to that job instead. Next steps: - [Find jobs](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/trainers/finding-jobs/) and send proposals. - Some jobs ask for [identity verification](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/trainers/identity-verification/) or an [AI interview](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/trainers/ai-interview/). - Set up [payouts](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/trainers/payments-payouts/) so you can get paid. If you forget your password later, select **Forgot password** on the sign-in page. For other sign-in problems, see [Sign-in and verification code help](https://www.opentrain.ai/docs/sign-in-help/).
