Autojob Browser Extension

Why Our Browser Extension Changes Everything

Honestly, job hunting manually can be a huge drain—hours spent scrolling, copying, pasting, and keeping track of what you’ve applied for. Our browser extension takes that off your plate by scanning job listings in real-time on sites like LinkedIn and Indeed. It matches those listings against your profile, learning your preferences as you go, and can even apply automatically using your uploaded resumes and cover letters.

What users tell us is that this saves them hours every week and uncovers 3-4 times more relevant opportunities than traditional searching.

Installing the Extension Step by Step

Setting up the extension is quick and straightforward, but here’s a walkthrough to make sure you breeze through it.

Chrome Installation Process

1. Open the Chrome Web Store and search for “Autojob”
2. Find our official extension with the Autojob logo
3. Click “Add to Chrome” and review permissions
4. Confirm by clicking “Add extension”
5. Pin the extension using the puzzle icon for easy access

Firefox and Safari Setup

Firefox users head to addons.mozilla.org and follow similar steps. Safari users download via the App Store and enable it in preferences. Functionality remains the same across all browsers.

Configuring Your Job Search Preferences

Once installed, the real power lies in tailoring the extension to your needs. Click the extension icon and log in with your Autojob account to start setting preferences.

Setting Up Job Criteria

• Job titles and keywords: Choose broad enough terms to capture opportunities but specific enough to stay relevant.
• Industries and company types: Whether startups or large corporations, specify what fits you.
• Salary ranges: Define minimum and target compensation to filter listings.
• Location preferences: Remote, city-specific, or willing to relocate.
• Experience level: From entry to executive roles.

Start broad and refine as you see results. The AI learns as you go, so you can adjust anytime.

Resume and Cover Letter Templates

Uploading your resumes and cover letters is key for automated applications. Our platform supports multiple versions so you can match the right document to each job.

The AI picks the best resume based on job description keywords, and cover letters are customized with company names and role details automatically.

Understanding Extension Permissions and Privacy

It’s natural to wonder about security. The extension asks for permissions to read job listings and fill out application forms on your behalf. Here’s the deal:

Data Security Measures

All personal info, including resumes and application data, is end-to-end encrypted. Nothing stays on your browser; everything syncs securely with your Autojob account. Also, your browsing history isn’t tracked—only job-related pages activate the extension.

Managing Permissions

You can review or revoke permissions anytime via your browser’s extension settings. If you disable certain permissions, some application features may stop working.

Plus, there’s a privacy mode that asks you before applying, giving you full control while still saving time.

Advanced Features and Customization

After you get comfortable, explore these features to boost your efficiency even more.

Smart Filtering and Blacklists

Create blacklists for companies or job titles you want to avoid. The extension automatically skips those, even if they match your other criteria. It also factors in commute times based on your location, filtering out impractical options.

Integration with Calendar Apps

The extension syncs with Google Calendar and Outlook to avoid interview scheduling conflicts. It can block out time for job search activities and prep, helping you stay organized.

Custom Notification Settings

• Instant alerts when applications submit
• Daily summaries of activity
• Weekly reports overview
• Interview scheduling notifications

Troubleshooting Common Installation Issues

Extension Won’t Install or Load

Make sure your browser version meets minimum requirements: Chrome 88+, Firefox 85+, or Safari 14+. Clear cache and cookies if installation fails, and check you have enough storage space.

Login Problems After Installation

Confirm you’re using the same Autojob credentials as on the website. Sometimes logging out and back in on the main site refreshes tokens needed for extension login.

Jobs Not Being Detected

If you’re not seeing matches, verify your criteria aren’t too narrow and that the extension has proper permissions enabled in your browser’s extension settings.

Maximizing Your Success with the Extension

Optimizing Your Profile for Better Matches

The AI works best when your profile is detailed. Go beyond job titles—describe your responsibilities and achievements using industry keywords. Keep your profile updated with new skills or focus areas.

Strategic Browsing Habits

Spend time on company career pages, not just job boards, because many jobs appear there first. Set dedicated browsing times so the extension can actively identify matches rather than passively running in the background.

Monitoring and Adjusting Settings

Check the extension dashboard weekly to review what jobs it’s finding and applying for. If matches aren’t relevant, adjust your criteria accordingly. Also, track which applications get responses to spot successful patterns.

Managing Multiple Job Searches and Cross-Device Sync

Creating Different Search Profiles

If you’re juggling different career paths, the extension lets you set up multiple profiles with unique criteria, resumes, and cover letters. It picks the right profile for each job, avoiding confusion.

Coordinating Applications Across Profiles

The system avoids duplicate applications by prioritizing profiles. For example, management roles can take precedence over individual contributor roles, or remote jobs can be highlighted first based on your preferences.

Syncing Across Devices

Whether you’re on your laptop or mobile app, your data stays synced. Applications submitted through the browser extension update your mobile dashboard, and interview alerts show up everywhere, keeping you in the loop wherever you are.
