Miscellaneous So you've decided that you want to find a flatmate or flateshare, well the first thing you are going to have to do is create a profile. Your profile is basically your advert to the world of what you are looking for so as you can imagine making it stand out and being informative are two very important factors so we are going to start with the first of them two things your photo's. With digital camera's and seeing as most phones have half decent camera's uploading a picture is easy to do and very help full.We'll start off with the don'ts it may sound silly, but use your common sense when adding the picture to your flatmate profile. Using a name like BridgetJones then uploading pictures from the film as your profile image is a big no no!!! Your probably thinking that is obvious, but you would be amazed at the amount of profiles I've seen that have someone's idol whether that be a musician, footballer, filmstar etc for there picture's.

Bizarre I know, but if you are thinking of doing it don't you are potentially ruining any chance of finding a flatmate to rent your room. It's ok to love your pet and its also a good thing to let people know what animals you own as they may be allergic or just not like them but think about what people looking to rent a room are interested in the room, the flatmate's, location etc so these are the things you should be using to help your flatshare find a flatmate.
