Sonara AI Platform

Getting Started with Sonara’s Job Locations Hub

If you’re ready to cut through the noise of job hunting, our platform is designed to do exactly that. We combine job-matching automation with interview scheduling tools to give you more control without the hassle. Honestly, the AI does a lot of the heavy lifting, but you stay in the driver’s seat.

The Job Locations Hub at Sonara helps you zero in on the places you want to work, whether it’s a specific city, region, or remote setup. That way, you won’t waste time on jobs that don’t fit your location needs.

Creating Your Sonara Account and Setting Up Profiles

Signing up is straightforward, and it’s where your journey begins. From our experience, people usually get through registration in under 5 minutes if they have their info ready.

After hitting the “Sign Up” button on our homepage, you’ll be asked to provide a few essentials. This includes your email (make sure it’s one you check), your name, phone number, and a secure password. We also ask you to share your location preferences so our Job Locations Hub knows exactly where to look.

What You Need for Registration

• Valid email address (this will be your login ID)
• Basic personal details (name, phone)
• Password meeting security rules (8+ characters, mix of letters and numbers)
• Preferred job locations and work arrangements

Profile Setup Tips

Once your email is verified, don’t skip fleshing out your profile. Our AI relies heavily on this info to tailor matches. Include your work experience, education, skills, and what kind of roles you want. The more detailed, the smarter our matching.

Uploading and Optimizing Your Resume

Your resume is the foundation of everything the platform does for you. We accept all common formats like PDF, DOCX, or TXT, and even connect with Google Drive or Dropbox if that’s easier.

Here’s the quick upload process:

1. Click the “Upload Resume” button on your profile dashboard
2. Select your file and wait for format validation
3. Confirm upload to start AI parsing
4. Review extracted info and correct anything off

If you don’t have a resume ready, our built-in AI resume builder can help. It’ll guide you section by section, suggesting content based on your industry, which helps save time and improve match quality.

Tailoring Your Job Search with Smart Preferences

Setting precise preferences is key. The Job Locations Hub shines when you tell it exactly what you want, so don’t be shy with details.

Core Search Criteria

• Job titles and roles: Be specific; instead of “marketing,” try “SEO Specialist” or “Email Marketing Manager.”
• Salary range: Enter realistic expectations to avoid irrelevant matches.
• Location preferences: Specify cities, states, or remote options using the Job Locations Hub.
• Industry focus: Pick the sectors you want to work in to narrow your job pool.

Advanced Filters

For those who want more control, you can refine by company size, work schedule (full-time, part-time), benefits priorities, and career level. These extra filters help fine-tune the results.

How Sonara’s AI Matches You with Jobs

So here’s the thing: our AI isn’t just matching keywords. It actually understands the context of your experience, location, and preferences to find roles that fit.

It works continuously, pulling from millions of job postings across boards and company sites. Plus, it learns from your feedback — if you decline some matches, it adjusts future suggestions.

Managing Applications and Interviews with Ease

Once applications start rolling out, keeping track can get tricky. That’s why our dashboard centralizes everything for you.

You’ll see all your active applications, statuses, and any interview invites. The interview scheduler syncs with your calendar and adjusts for time zones automatically, so you never miss a beat.

Dashboard Overview

Setting Up and Using Auto-Apply

Auto-apply is a big time-saver, but here’s what we hear from users: start with manual reviews until you trust the AI knows your preferences well.

You can configure auto-apply options like daily limits and timing (immediate or scheduled). Plus, you can create custom cover letter templates that the system personalizes for each job.

Auto-Apply Settings You Control

• Toggle automatic application submission on or off
• Set daily limits to avoid overwhelming yourself
• Choose when applications are sent (right away or later)
• Upload or create cover letter templates for different job types

Tracking Your Progress and Adjusting Your Approach

We give you data on how your job search is going — from application response rates to which job types get the most traction. This helps you tweak your preferences or resume for better results.

Key Metrics to Watch

• Application-to-response ratio
• Interview conversion rates
• Top performing job categories
• Geographic response trends from Job Locations Hub
• Best days and times for submitting applications

Handling Issues and Getting Support

Sometimes, tech hiccups happen, and that’s okay. If your resume doesn’t parse right, try a different format or use our resume builder. If matches feel off, fine-tune your preferences.

We’re here to help with:

• In-platform help center with step-by-step articles
• Live chat during business hours
• Email support for detailed questions
• Video tutorials for visual guidance

Privacy, Security, and Your Data Control

We get that your job search data is sensitive. That’s why everything is encrypted, and you control what info gets shared with employers. Full automation or manual review — it’s your call.
