Adding a job to HuntHelper is as easy as sending an email with a link to job@hunthelper.com. When you send a job link to HuntHelper, you will receive an email back with a list of all of the jobs you've added to your job hunt so far.
Browsing for jobs
When you are looking for a job, you can browse job listings on job search sites, company web sites, or through recruiters. When you find a job you're interested in, copy the web address of the job listing and send it to HuntHelper. You can also add the job title and company name to the email subject to help you remember what the job is. Many browsers have a feature that allows you to share a web page by email. This feature will often pre-fill the subject line and add the URL for you.
Job status
When you add a new job, you'll notice the job has a status of Bookmarked. The status of a job allows you to track what actions you have taken on a job. When you add a job and receive an email back with the jobs in your hunt, each job will have a button for its next action, and to decline it. Clicking the next action button will change the status of the job.
- Bookmarked
- A job you're interested in but haven't taken any action on. Next action: Submit Application
- Applied
- Once you apply to a job (either through a recruiter, company web site, or job search site), you can move it's status to applied. Next action: Schedule Interview
- Interviewing
- After you have applied and you are offered an interview, move the status to interviewing. Next action: Receive Offer
- Negotiating
- Once you have an offer, you can negotiate terms before you sign an employment contract. Next action: Accept Offer
- Accepted
- Congratulations, you have a new job!
- Declined
- If you decide not to pursue a job or you haven't heard back in a while, you can decline the job. When a job's status becomes declined, you will no longer receive reminders for it.
