Search the job board
Run a search on Jobs, read live postings from company job boards, heart the ones worth a second look, and find them again on the Saved tab.
Jobs lists live postings pulled from company job boards, narrowed to your profile. You read them here, heart the ones worth a second look, and hand the rest to FirstResume to prepare.
Before you start
Your profile seeds the filters, so fill in your roles and preferences first. See Set your job preferences.
Run your first search
- Open Jobs from the sidebar. On a phone it is the screen you land on.
- On your first visit the board reads your profile and shows "Building your personalised job filters…". If that fails, press Try again.
- Press Begin Search on the Find your perfect role card.
- The Filters panel opens, preset from your profile. Change what you like, then press Search. That is the apply button, and nothing reaches the board without it. Set your job filters, or let AI do it covers the panel.
The board keeps your filters, so tomorrow it opens on the same ones. Press Filters on the right of the Search tab to change them; the badge counts the ones you have set.
Read a posting
Cards on the left give you the title, the company, a date badge and two lines of description. Click one and the posting opens on the right: Requirements Summary at the top, then About the Job, Core Responsibilities, Benefits, Visa Sponsorship and Key Skills.
Look at Visa Sponsorship and Work Arrangement first if either would rule the role out. The date badge tells you how stale the posting is, and the grid under the title reads "Not Disclosed" or "Not specified" where the employer left a figure out.
No match score appears here. Compatibility is worked out after you press Add to Applications, and so is the link to the employer's own posting. The board has no Apply button and no outbound link, so Turn a listing into an application is the way to reach the original.
Save a job and find it again
Click the heart on any card and the posting goes to the Saved tab. The heart fills, you stay where you are, and nothing else happens. A hearted job is a bookmark: FirstResume scores nothing and writes nothing for it until you press Add to Applications.
Press the Saved tab, the one marked with a heart, to read them back. They come as one flat list, ten to a page, and clicking a card opens the full posting on the right as it does on Search. Before you have hearted anything the tab reads "No saved jobs yet".
Click a filled heart again to unsave, from either tab. That is the only way off the list. There are no folders and no dismiss button, so a role you never want to see again goes out through your filters instead.
Limits on one search
A search returns 20 jobs on Starter (free), and your plan sets how many searches you get each month. Premium lifts both. See pricing.
"No matching jobs found" means your filters were too tight. Widen the location or drop a keyword and press Search again.
Tips
- Each press of Search uses one of your monthly searches. Reading, hearting and adding jobs do not.
- Heart anything you are unsure about, so you can come back to it without spending a search.
- Unsave the roles you have ruled out. Saved is one long list and stays readable only if you prune it.
