Dashboard

The app’s dashboard provides easy access to your most recent resumes and cover letters, as well as to relevant job postings and the job application tracker tool. Job postings are pulled in from the jobs section, based on your most recent job search. You can also create a new resume, cover letter or application for the tracker directly from the dashboard screen.

CV maker

Jobseeker’s CV maker is the core element of the app, giving users the tools to create a professionally designed resume in minutes. The creator has text box inputs, with standard sections for all the major elements of a traditional resume. You can add optional sections, restructure the order of your resume by grabbing and dragging each section to its desired location, customize any of the standard sections or add a fully custom section of your choosing.

LinkedIn integration

One of the key features of the CV maker is LinkedIn integration, which enables users to import their LinkedIn profile and automatically generate a resume from its content. Jobseeker’s intelligent integration tool identifies the key sections of your LinkedIn profile and arranges the content directly into the appropriate resume sections.

Customizable templates

A major appeal of the CV maker is its fully customizable templates. These professionally designed resume designs enable quick and easy creation of an eye-catching resume to match your style, and the role and industry you’re applying to. There are 12 templates to choose from, each of which has understated modern styling and subtle design features. You’re free to use any of the templates as they come, or fully customize them with your choice of fonts, line heights, text sizes and color accents.

AI assistance

After writing the content for each CV section, or importing directly from your LinkedIn profile,  the app gives you the opportunity to improve the content with AI assistance. This can help make your resume content more impactful, including generating bullet points to showcase relevant skills and experience to match your desired job. The AI assistant can also rewrite your resume summary or objective to make a stronger first impression with the reader.

Document downloads

By activating a monthly subscription, you can download as many versions of your resume as you wish, in PDF format. This makes it quick and easy to access your saved resumes, download them in an accessible format and send them on for your desired job applications.

Cover letter designer

To accompany your resume, Jobseeker offers a cover letter designer with templates that match the styling and layout of the resume examples. You can input all the relevant information using a similar text box input system similar to the CV maker. The letter structure automatically includes an introduction paragraph, a section about your current situation and a paragraph about your motivation, as well as a closing section.

Auto-generated copy

One of the key features of the cover letter maker is the option to auto-generate the body text of the letter according to your specific circumstances and career stage. For example, in the introduction section, you can specify whether you’re responding to an online ad or sending an open application. In the ‘current situation’ section, you can generate copy based on whether you’re in a job, have recently completed your studies, have ample work experience or are currently not working. For every choice you make, content is auto-generated for your letter, allowing you to input critical information or fully customize the text.

Job search tool

Empowering your search, this jobseeker tool unveils vast job listings, searchable by title and filterable by location radius. This can be useful if you’re looking to contain your job search and application activities all in one place, helping you to remain organized and structured in your job search activities. You can add jobs to a list of favorites and set alerts for vacancies to stay on top of the latest developments.

Application tracker

In addition to its job search tools, the app gives you the opportunity to create job applications and track them through the application and hiring process. Using a similar structure to popular project management tools, where you can track the workflow of a project, Jobseeker’s application tracker has sections for your favorites, vacancies applied and applications at different stages, including ‘interview’, ‘offer’, ‘rejected’ and ‘hired’. This valuable tool for organizing your job search activities is available via Jobseeker’s monthly subscription package.
