Once FindVil's AI-powered search discovers jobs that match your criteria, the platform provides powerful tools to streamline your application process. This guide explains how to view job details, generate customized application documents, track your favorites and applications, and submit to opportunities efficiently.
Viewing Complete Job Details
When a job on your Matched Jobs page catches your attention, click on the listing to access the full job detail page. This comprehensive view provides everything you need to evaluate the opportunity and take action.
The job detail page displays the complete job description including required qualifications, preferred skills, responsibilities, company information, salary details when available, benefits and perks, and location or remote work specifications. This thorough information helps you make informed decisions about whether to invest time in applying.
Understanding Application Links
One of FindVil's most valuable features is aggregating not just job information, but also the various places where you can apply to each position. On the job detail page, you'll see one or more application links depending on where the job is posted.
Many jobs are available on multiple platforms. For example, the same position might be posted on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and Workday, as well as directly on the company's career page. FindVil identifies all available application sources and provides direct links to each one.
This multi-source approach gives you options. You might prefer to apply through LinkedIn if your profile is strong there, or you might choose to apply directly on the company website to ensure your application goes straight to the employer without intermediary platforms. Some candidates apply through multiple channels to maximize visibility, while others choose the single source they believe is most direct.
The application links open in new tabs, allowing you to navigate to the external platform while keeping your FindVil session active. This makes it easy to generate your tailored resume, download it, and then immediately proceed to the application portal with your customized document ready to upload.
Generating Tailored Resumes
While browsing jobs on the Matched Jobs list page or viewing a full job detail page, you'll see the "Get Resume" button. Clicking this button initiates the process of creating a resume specifically optimized for that particular job opportunity.
When you click "Get Resume," a modal window opens displaying a summary of the target job and a list of all resumes you've previously uploaded to FindVil. If you haven't uploaded a resume yet, you'll see an upload area where you can add your resume document before proceeding.
Select the resume you want to use as the foundation for this tailored version. If you have multiple resume versions stored in your Resume Deck—perhaps one focused on technical skills and another emphasizing management experience—choose the one most relevant to the job you're targeting.
Before generating the document, you have the option to add additional instructions for the AI. This optional field allows you to specify particular aspects you want emphasized, specific achievements to highlight, or any other customization preferences. For example, you might instruct the AI to "emphasize my leadership experience" or "highlight my remote work capabilities."
Once you're satisfied with your selections, click the "Generate" button. FindVil's AI analyzes both your resume and the job description, intelligently crafting a tailored version that emphasizes your most relevant qualifications for this specific opportunity. The generation process typically completes in approximately 15 seconds.
After generation, you can customize the visual presentation by choosing from various professional templates, uploading a professional headshot if appropriate for your target market (some countries and industries favor resumes with photos while others don't), and adjusting formatting details to match your preferences.
The finished document can be downloaded as a Microsoft Word file, giving you the flexibility to make any final manual adjustments before submission. Remember to click "Save" to store the generated resume in your Resume Deck for future reference and potential reuse.
Creating Tailored Cover Letters
The cover letter generation process mirrors the resume workflow. Click the "Get Cover Letter" button from either the job list page or the job detail page. A similar modal opens, showing the job summary and your uploaded resumes.
Select the resume that corresponds to the position—ideally the same one you used for generating the tailored resume for consistency. The AI uses your resume content and the job description to create a personalized, compelling cover letter that connects your background to the specific role and company.
Like resumes, cover letters can include optional additional instructions before generation. You might specify a particular tone (formal vs. conversational), request emphasis on specific experiences, or provide context about why you're interested in this particular company.
The generated cover letter presents your qualifications as a narrative rather than a list, explaining why you're an excellent fit for the role and demonstrating your interest in and knowledge of the company and position. Download the completed cover letter and save it to your Resume Deck for easy access.
Marking Jobs as Favorites
As you browse opportunities, you'll want a way to flag particularly interesting positions for follow-up. FindVil provides a "like" or "favorite" function that serves this purpose.
You can favorite a job directly from the Matched Jobs list page by clicking the heart or star icon on each listing. This quick action doesn't require opening the full job detail page, allowing you to rapidly flag multiple interesting opportunities during a browsing session.
Favorited jobs remain in your main job list but are marked with a visual indicator showing their favorite status. More importantly, you can use the filtering system to view only favorited jobs, creating an instant shortlist of your top opportunities.
Use favorites strategically to manage your job search workflow. During a quick daily review, favorite anything that looks promising without deep analysis. Later, when you have more time, filter to show only favorites and give these opportunities the thorough evaluation and customized applications they deserve.
Tracking Applied Jobs
Beyond favoriting, FindVil allows you to mark jobs as "applied" after you've submitted your application. This feature is only available from the job detail page, ensuring you're marking jobs after reviewing complete details and confirming submission.
On the job detail page, after you've generated your application documents and submitted them through one of the application links, click the "Mark as Applied" button. This changes the job's status in your system, helping you track which opportunities you've already pursued.
The applied status serves multiple purposes. It prevents you from accidentally applying twice to the same position, especially if the job appears in multiple search criteria or is reposted. It helps you track application volume and activity over time. It allows you to filter your matched jobs to show only those you've applied to, creating a record of all your active applications.
Strategic Filtering by Status
The combination of favorites and applied status creates a powerful organizational system when combined with FindVil's filtering capabilities. You can filter to show only favorited jobs to focus on your shortlist of top opportunities. View only applied jobs to review your submitted applications and plan follow-up activities. Show jobs that are favorited but not yet applied to identify opportunities you've flagged as interesting but haven't acted on yet. View jobs that are neither favorited nor applied to focus on fresh opportunities you haven't yet evaluated.
These status-based filters work in conjunction with all other filtering options like date posted, employment type, work location, and company type. For example, you might filter for "Favorited + Not Applied + Posted in Last Week + Remote" to see your shortlisted remote opportunities from recent postings that you haven't yet applied to—a perfect list for your next application session.
Sharing Opportunities
Sometimes you'll discover opportunities that, while not right for you, might be perfect for someone in your network. FindVil's share function makes it easy to send job listings to friends, colleagues, or family members who might be interested.
Click the "Share" button on any job listing and enter the recipient's email address. They'll receive a link to view the full job details on FindVil. Note that the recipient will need to create a FindVil account to access the shared job, which actually benefits them by introducing them to the platform's capabilities for their own job search.
Sharing opportunities is a valuable way to support your professional network while also spreading awareness of FindVil. When colleagues see how easily you can share relevant opportunities and how well-organized your own job search is, they're likely to adopt the platform themselves.
Hiding Irrelevant Jobs
Not every matched job will be a good fit, and that's expected—search criteria sometimes capture opportunities that technically match your parameters but aren't actually suitable for various reasons. Rather than leaving these jobs cluttering your matched jobs list, use the "Hide" function to permanently remove them from view.
Hiding a job removes it from your main list and prevents it from reappearing, even if multiple search criteria match it. This keeps your matched jobs page clean and focused on genuinely relevant opportunities. Over time, as you hide irrelevant listings, you'll naturally develop a more refined understanding of what constitutes a good match, which can inform adjustments to your search criteria for even better automatic matching.
Developing an Efficient Application Workflow
The most successful FindVil users develop systematic workflows that leverage all these features together. A typical efficient workflow might look like this:
Daily Quick Scan: Browse your matched jobs list viewing new postings from the last 24 hours. Favorite anything interesting without deep analysis. This takes just 5-10 minutes and ensures you don't miss new opportunities.
Weekly Deep Review: Filter to show favorited jobs. Open each one to the detail page, read full descriptions carefully, and research companies. For strong fits, immediately generate tailored resumes and cover letters. Mark jobs as applied as you submit applications, or remove favorites that upon deeper review don't seem suitable.
Application Session: Set aside dedicated time for applications separate from browsing. Filter for "Favorited + Not Applied" to see opportunities you've identified as worth pursuing but haven't yet acted on. Generate all tailored documents in batch, then submit applications through the provided links.
Cleanup and Refinement: Periodically hide jobs you've decided against to maintain a clean workspace. Review which search criteria are producing your favorited jobs versus which are generating mostly irrelevant matches. Adjust criteria based on these patterns.
This systematic approach prevents the overwhelming feeling that can come from seeing hundreds of job listings at once. By breaking the process into distinct activities—browsing, evaluating, document creation, and application submission—you maintain momentum and avoid decision fatigue.
Tracking External Applications
While FindVil helps you mark jobs as applied within the platform, maintaining an external application tracker is still recommended for comprehensive job search management. A simple spreadsheet or dedicated application tracking tool should include the job title and company, date applied, application method (LinkedIn, company website, etc.), contact information for hiring managers if available, notes about the position, and dates for follow-up activities.
When you mark a job as applied in FindVil, that's an excellent trigger to also add it to your external tracker. This dual-system approach ensures you have both a quick reference within FindVil and a detailed external record for managing the full application lifecycle including interviews, follow-ups, and offers.
Maximizing Response Rates
The combination of FindVil's AI-tailored documents and strategic application practices significantly improves your response rates compared to generic resume blasts. To maximize effectiveness, apply to jobs within the first few days of posting when competition is lower. Use the tailored resume and cover letter features for every application rather than sending generic documents. Apply through multiple channels when available to increase visibility. Research companies before applying so you can customize your approach and speak knowledgeably in interviews. Follow up appropriately after submission, particularly for roles you're especially interested in.
Remember that FindVil's tools give you significant advantages in the application process. The AI-tailored documents ensure your submissions are optimized for both applicant tracking systems and human reviewers. The aggregated application links save you time searching for where to apply. The organizational features help you maintain a systematic, professional approach to your job search.
By mastering these action-oriented features—document generation, status tracking, filtering, and strategic application—you transform FindVil from a job discovery tool into a complete application management system that significantly increases your chances of landing interviews and ultimately securing your ideal position.
