How does the Job Application Tracker help organize my job search?

The Job Application Tracker acts as a personal command center for your job search. It allows you to track every application's status (from Wishlist to Offer), link the specific resume version and cover letter you used, and add important notes like salary information and follow-up reminders. This helps you stay organized and analyze what strategies are most effective.

How does the Interview Hub work?

The Interview Hub is a centralized system for managing your interview schedule. You can add interview details like date, time, and type (e.g., phone screen, technical), store company research, prepare answers to common questions, and track outcomes, ensuring you are always prepared.

How do I create and manage cover letters?

You can create and manage cover letters from your dashboard. The AI Career Accelerator plan includes AI-powered generation, which creates tailored letters in minutes by analyzing your resume and the job description you provide.

How do I link resume versions and cover letters to applications?

When you add or edit an application in the Job Tracker, you can use dropdown menus to select the specific resume version and cover letter you sent. This helps you track which documents were sent to each employer and analyze which versions get the best response rates.

Can I export my job application data?

Yes, you can export all of your application data to a CSV file at any time from the Job Tracker. This allows you to create backups, perform your own analysis in spreadsheet software, or share your progress with career counselors.
