Setting Reminders and Notes

Learn how to use reminders and notes to stay organized during your job search

Reminders and notes help you stay organized and never miss important deadlines or follow-ups. This guide shows you how to use these features effectively.

Adding Reminders

Set reminders for important dates and deadlines:

  1. Open a job card
  2. Click "Add Reminder" or the reminder icon
  3. Enter the reminder title (e.g., "Follow up on application")
  4. Set the date and time
  5. Choose notification preferences
  6. Save the reminder

Common Reminder Types

  • Application Deadlines: When applications are due
  • Follow-Ups: When to follow up after submitting an application
  • Interview Dates: Scheduled interview times
  • Thank You Notes: When to send post-interview thank you emails
  • Response Deadlines: When you need to respond to offers
  • Networking: When to reach out to contacts

Adding Notes

Notes help you remember important details:

  • Interview Notes: Questions asked, your answers, interviewer names
  • Research: Company information, culture, recent news
  • Conversations: Details from phone calls or emails
  • Preferences: Salary expectations, work preferences, concerns
  • Next Steps: What you need to do next

Best Practices for Notes

Note-Taking Tips

  • • Add notes immediately after interviews or conversations
  • • Include names of people you spoke with
  • • Note specific details that might come up in future conversations
  • • Keep notes professional and factual

Managing Reminders

Keep your reminders organized:

Example Use Cases

After Interview

Set a reminder to send a thank you email within 24 hours, and another to follow up if you don't hear back in a week.

Example: "Send thank you email to Sarah Johnson - Tomorrow 10 AM"
