Questions
Jobseekers in India report Shine.com trouble on this page. Plenty of reports together mean the site or app is failing for everyone. With a lone report, check your login and network first.
When many users report at once, the fault is on Shine's side. Its own terms say maintenance and upgrades can affect access, so wait and retry. If only you are stuck, try a different way to log in.
Your username is the email you registered with. If the password fails, tap Forgot Password and Shine mails a reset link. You can also choose Login with OTP and get a 4-digit code on SMS, WhatsApp or email.
Shine activates an account only after you click the link in its verification email, and there is no other way. Check spam for that mail, and register with an email id you can open.
New profiles start as anonymous, which hides your name, contact details and resume. Switch it to visible under the General tab in My Profile. Any employer whose job you apply to sees the full profile anyway.
