# Updating Your Profle
The **My Mentor Profile** application includes all the information and photo that will appear on the CBM website. You must complete this application before your volunteer status can be changed from **Approved** to **Active**.
The page is divided into **two side-by-side sections**:
- **Left side – Profile Information:** This section contains the information that will appear on the CBM website. Some fields require you to enter text, while others provide a list of pre-set choices.
- **Right side – Website Preview:** This section shows exactly how your mentor profile will appear on the CBM website. The preview is updated in real time, so you can watch your profile take shape as you complete the application.

#### *About You*
The **About You** section is one of the most important parts of your profile. This is where you describe who you are, your experience, and the mentoring services you can provide; how you can help your clients.
Your description should be **clear, concise, and easy to read**.
**If you are transitioning from SCORE:**
We recommend copying your existing SCORE mentor profile and pasting it into the **About You** section. You can then edit and update it as needed.
**If you are not transitioning from SCORE:**
We recommend first reviewing the profiles of other CBM mentors. You can find them at the bottom of the[ **Meet Our Mentors**](https://clevelandbusinessmentors.org/mentoring/) page on the CBM website. Use these profiles as examples when writing your own.
Once you have drafted your profile, we recommend using an AI writing tool to review and improve the wording, clarity, and readability before finalizing it in CONTACT.
Your **coach will also review your profile**. Once the profile has been completed and approved, your volunteer status can be updated from **Approved** to **Active**.
#### *Email Signature*
At the bottom of the profile, you can enter your **email signature**. Once entered, your signature will automatically be added to all outgoing emails you send through CONTACT.
Please use our[ **approved CBM email signature format.**](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1euSg9fd_haifUSHYHUbKzkOGu0LHI2jd)
