Getting Started with Our Mobile App

So, you’ve decided to try out Sonara’s mobile app—smart move. Our app is built specifically for iOS and Android, making the job search process smoother no matter what device you’re using. Everything’s in English, so no need to hunt for language settings. From the moment you download it, you’ll notice how straightforward it is. We wanted to keep things simple because honestly, job searching is already complicated enough.

Platform Minimum OS Version Approximate Storage Use
iOS 12.0 150-300MB
Android 8.0 150-300MB

Once installed, you won’t be bombarded with permission requests. It’s just enough to get you started without any hassle.

Setting Up Your Account and Profile

After installation, creating your profile is where the magic begins. Our AI depends on good info to find the right jobs for you, so don’t skip this step or rush through it. You’ll enter your full name, email, location, and work authorization details—these are essential to match you with opportunities that fit your situation.

Uploading and Optimizing Your Resume

Uploading a PDF resume is easy, but here’s the thing: our AI analyzes it to suggest tweaks that can improve your chances. It looks for gaps, keywords, and formats your resume to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) smoothly. From what we’ve seen, users who take advantage of this step get noticeably more interview invitations.

How Our AI Job Matching Works

Our AI doesn’t just throw random job listings your way. Instead, it learns what you want over time by paying attention to your preferences and feedback. The more you interact—marking jobs as “interested” or “not interested”—the better it gets at matching you.

Fine-Tuning Your Preferences

Be sure to keep your salary expectations realistic but fair, specify job types you want, and rank your preferred industries. This helps the AI prioritize jobs that genuinely fit your needs.

Behind the Scenes: Matching Factors

Here’s what the AI looks at:

  • Skills and experience fit
  • Your location and commute preferences
  • Salary range compatibility
  • Company culture alignment
  • Career growth potential

Application Automation and Cover Letters

One of the coolest features is how our AI can apply to jobs for you automatically. You control how aggressive this is, choosing from conservative to aggressive modes based on your comfort level.

Choosing the Right Automation Level

Start with “balanced” mode, where the AI applies to jobs that are at least 75% matches. You can always dial it up or down later depending on how things go.

Custom Cover Letter Creation

The AI also writes cover letters tailored to each job. You can create templates for different roles—technical, management, creative—and the system personalizes each letter based on those templates.

Navigating the Mobile App Interface

Once you’re logged in, the dashboard is your central hub. You’ll see new job matches, application statuses, interview requests, and how complete your profile is—all updated in real time.

Filtering Job Searches

Filtering isn’t just about keywords. You can pick things like company size, remote options, experience level, and even benefits packages.

Filter Type Options Why It Matters
Date Posted Last 24 hours to 30+ days See fresh listings
Company Size Startup to Enterprise Find your preferred work environment
Remote Options On-site, Hybrid, Fully Remote Match your location needs
Experience Level Entry to Executive Filter by seniority
Benefits Health, 401k, Stock Options Focus on compensation perks

Tracking Your Applications

The app keeps you informed with detailed statuses—whether applications have been viewed, interviews requested, or if you’ve been rejected, with timestamps to help you stay organized.

Interview Scheduling and Prep

When the interview invitations start rolling in, our AI steps up to handle scheduling. No more endless email chains.

Automated Scheduling Setup

  1. Set your available times and block out busy periods
  2. Choose your interview preference—phone, video, or in-person
  3. Add buffer time between interviews to avoid back-to-back stress
  4. Set travel distance limits for in-person meetings

The AI then coordinates directly with the employer to find the best fit.

Interview Prep Tools

We’ve packed the app with helpful features:

  • Quick company profiles
  • Role-specific common questions
  • Access to your submitted application for reference
  • Push reminders so you don’t miss interviews

Video Interview Integration

The app supports Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet. Before your interview, it tests your camera and mic so you’re ready to go without last-minute tech issues.

Managing Notifications and Privacy

Keeping notifications useful without overwhelming you is tricky, but we’ve got that covered. You can turn on alerts for new matches, application updates, interview requests, and reminders, then set quiet hours to avoid distractions.

Notification Controls

  1. Enable or disable categories like job matches or interview reminders
  2. Set quiet hours to batch notifications at convenient times
  3. Customize push notification preferences for what matters most

Troubleshooting and Advanced Tips

Improving AI Matching

Make sure your profile is complete and preferences are current. The more you rate jobs, the smarter the AI becomes. Double-check your location too—it can make a big difference.

Advanced Features to Explore

  • Set custom alerts for companies or keywords you care about
  • Connect with LinkedIn to leverage your professional network
  • Use analytics to see where you’re having the most success and how to improve

These tools add extra layers of control and insight to your job search.
