Jobs

How do I add a job manually?

Open Jobs in the sidebar and click Add Job at the top-right of the Jobs card. Job Title, Company, Job Location and Job Source are the fields you must fill in — each is a combo box that either picks an existing entry or creates a new one as you type, and Location and Source come pre-selected with whatever you used on your last job.

Job Type, Workplace Type, Status, Due Date and Job Description are required too, but the form opens with them already set — Job Type on its first option, Workplace Type on Onsite, Status on Draft, Due Date three days from today and Job Description the placeholder N/A. You can change any of them; you cannot clear them. Genuinely optional are Job URL, Salary Range, the Applied switch, Date Applied, a resume and cover letter to attach, and skills. Salary Range is free text: pick one of the 10,000-wide suggestions from Under 50,000 to 300,000+, or type your own — $120k – $150k, Negotiable — and it is saved exactly as typed and shown on the job's details page.

Paste the full posting text into Job Description if you have it. The AI features — resume review, job match and cover letter generation — read that field, and a job saved with only a title and a salary gives them almost nothing to work from.

How do I add a job by pasting a posting into AI chat?

Click Chat AI in the header to open the assistant panel, paste the full text of a job posting into the message box, and send it. The assistant extracts the title, company, location and description and shows you an approval card with exactly what it found. Nothing is saved to your tracker until you approve that card, and you can edit the details before you do.

This requires an AI provider and model to be set under Settings → AI Provider; without them the panel tells you so instead of starting. A long paste is attached as a chip rather than inlined into the message — that is expected, and the full text still reaches the extraction.

What do the job statuses mean?

A job carries exactly one status from: New, Draft, Applied, Interview, Offer, Offer Accepted, Offer Declined, Rejected, Expired and ArchivedOffer Declined for an offer you turned down, Rejected for one the company turned down. They are labels you move by hand, not a state machine — nothing stops you going from Interview back to Draft, and nothing changes a status on your behalf.

How do I change a job's status?

There are two ways. In the Jobs list, click a row's status badge and pick the new status from the menu. Or open the job and use the menu at the top-right of the job details, choosing Change status. Either menu lists every status with the current one greyed out, and the change saves immediately — there is no separate save step.

The Add Job dialog also has a Status field, so a status can be set when you first create the job or from Edit Job later.

What is on a job's details page?

Three parts, top to bottom. A header row with the job title, a Company · Location · Job Type · Workplace line whose company name opens the company's details page, and the actions: Match with AI, Cover Letter, Edit, Delete and a menu. Below it a summary card of eight facts — Status, Job Type, Salary Range, Source, Applied, AI Match, Resume and Added — with the job URL and any skill badges on a divider row underneath. Below that, five tabs.

The tabs are Description, AI Match, Cover Letter, Notes and Contacts, and all five are always there. AI Match and Cover Letter stay in the bar even when the job has neither, showing a short explanation and a button to run it — so the tab set never shifts between jobs. Notes and Contacts each carry a count badge once the job has any. Contacts lists the people linked to this job with the role each played. The tab you are on is kept in the address bar, so a refresh, a bookmark or the browser Back button lands you back on the same one.

How do I edit, annotate or delete a job?

Edit and Delete are buttons in the header row of the job details page, and both are also in the menu next to them. Edit reopens the same dialog you added the job with, pre-filled. Delete asks for confirmation and then removes the job permanently — there is no undo and no trash, so use Archived status instead if you only want it out of the list.

Notes live on the Notes tab: New Note there adds one, and each note can be edited or deleted from its own card. Add a Note in the menu is a shortcut to the same thing from anywhere on the page — it switches to the Notes tab and opens the editor.

How do I find a job in a long list?

The Jobs card header has three tools. The search box matches on job text. The filter dropdown narrows to a preset: All (Except Dismissed), Applied, Interview, Draft, Rejected, Part-time, Accepted (discovered) or Dismissed (discovered). Clicking a company, title, location or source anywhere in the list adds it as a filter chip next to the search box — click the chip's × to clear it.

The list also has a view toggle for table or card layout, and a reload button that refetches without a full page refresh.

How do I run an AI match from the jobs list?

A job that has no AI match score shows a Match button where its score would be — in the Match column in table view, and in the top-right corner of the card in card view. That includes a listing an automation saved without AI-scoring it: its relevance percentage stays on the automation page and is never shown here as a match score. Clicking it opens that job's details page on the AI Match tab and starts the match straight away, so you do not have to open the job and click again. The match itself runs in the assistant panel exactly as it does from the job's own Match with AI button; when it finishes, the analysis is already on the tab in front of you.

Jobs that already have a score show the score instead. To re-run a match on one of those, open the job and use Match with AI in its header.

How do I export my jobs to CSV?

Click Export in the Jobs card header. Your jobs download as a CSV file named jobsync-YYYY-MM-DD.csv. The export covers your jobs, not the reference lists behind them — for a complete, restorable copy of everything including resumes, tasks and activities, use Settings → Data instead.
