Sonara Mobile App

Getting Started with Sonara’s Mobile App

Alright, so you want to jump into the Sonara mobile app? The first thing you’ll notice is how straightforward it is. You just head over to the App Store or Google Play, search for “Sonara,” and hit download. It usually takes less than a minute depending on your connection.

Once installed, the app automatically sets your language to English if that’s what your phone uses. No confusing menus or hidden settings. When you open it, you’ll see two clear options: “Sign Up” if you’re new, or “Log In” if you already have an account.

From our experience, that email verification usually takes just a couple of minutes. And if you don’t see it, it’s worth peeking into your spam folder. Once verified, you’re ready to set up your profile.

Setting Up Your Profile and AI Preferences

This part’s more than just typing in info. Our AI uses your profile to find the best matches, so it’s worth taking your time here. Upload your resume (PDF works best), then watch the AI parse your experience and skills to fill in the details automatically.

Personal Details and Preferences

You’ll need to set location preferences carefully — whether you want remote, hybrid, or in-office roles, plus how far you’re willing to commute. Salary expectations also matter here; don’t undersell yourself.

Skills and Experience Mapping

Be specific about your skills. Instead of “marketing,” say “digital marketing,” “SEO,” or “content strategy.” For each job you add, list your role, company, dates, and key achievements with numbers if you can.

How Job Matching Works on Your Mobile

The app scans tons of job postings and compares them to your profile using AI. You’ll see jobs divided by match quality: “High Match” for scores above 80%, “Good Match” for 60-79%, and others filtered out unless you want to see everything.

Adjusting Your Search Filters

You can tweak industries, company sizes, job levels, and work arrangements right from your phone. It’s handy to update these filters on the fly, like during your commute.

Matching Algorithm Highlights

The algorithm learns what you like over time. If you skip certain jobs repeatedly, it stops showing similar ones. This way, you get smarter recommendations that save you time.

Using Auto-Apply to Save Time

This is where the mobile app really lightens your load. Auto-apply can submit jobs for you, but it needs some setup. You’ll create cover letter templates and pre-fill common application questions first.

Application Templates

• Create 3-5 cover letter versions tailored to different roles.
• Pre-write answers to typical questions like salary expectations.
• Add portfolio or LinkedIn links to boost your applications.

Activating Auto-Apply

Go to Settings > Auto-Apply to set daily limits, match score thresholds, and application types (quick apply or full). You can also exclude companies you don’t want to apply to.

Navigating Your Dashboard and Tracking Applications

The dashboard is your job search command center. It updates in real-time showing all your applications by status: applied, under review, interview scheduled, rejected, and offers.

Tracking Application Status

Push notifications keep you aware of updates like interview invites or job offers. You won’t have to constantly check manually.

Insightful Performance Analytics

The analytics section breaks down your application-to-response rates, which job types perform best, and peak response times. This helps you adjust your strategy where it matters.

Making Interview Scheduling Stress-Free

Our mobile app syncs with Google, Outlook, and Apple calendars so you can share your availability without the back-and-forth emails. Just connect your calendar, set your hours, and add buffer time between interviews.

Steps to Set Up Scheduling

1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Calendar
2. Connect your preferred calendar
3. Set your available days and times
4. Add buffer time (we suggest 30 minutes)
5. Choose your timezone for remote roles

Tools to Prepare for Interviews

The app provides company research, common interview questions tailored to the role, your application materials at your fingertips, and reminders to send follow-ups.

Keeping Notifications and Communication in Check

Notifications can get overwhelming if not set right. We recommend you get immediate alerts for interviews, offers, and deadlines, daily summaries for new matches and status updates, and weekly digests with performance insights.

Managing Your Alerts

You control all notification settings under Settings > Notifications. The mobile app lets you customize alert types and styles so you stay informed without feeling bombarded.

Centralized Messaging

All your communication with employers happens inside the app, organized by company and role. The search tool helps you find messages or attachments fast, so you never lose track.

Advanced Features and Privacy You Can Trust

Once you’re comfortable, try linking your LinkedIn profile to enhance AI matching. It’ll import extra experience and suggest connections who might refer you. We also offer skills assessments that can boost your profile’s attractiveness.

Market Insights for Smarter Decisions

The app shows salary trends, in-demand skills, and how quickly roles are being filled. This info helps with negotiating offers and timing applications smarter.

Keeping Your Data Safe

Your privacy is a priority. We use end-to-end encryption, don’t sell your data, and let you control what employers see. Two-factor authentication is available if you want an extra layer of security.
