As a job seeker, organizing the jobs you've applied to is essential for tracking your progress and staying on top of your applications. Careerflow makes this process even easier with a Bulk Import feature that allows you to import job cards from a spreadsheet or any external organizer into the platform.
This guide will walk you through the steps to bulk import your job applications into Careerflow.
Here's a video that goes over the entire process:
Getting Started
Step 1: Access the Job Tracker
Log in to your Careerflow account.
Navigate to the Job Tracker section, where you'll be able to manage all your job applications.
Step 2: Open the Bulk Import Option
In the Job Tracker section, locate the 3-dot menu icon (typically in the top-right corner of the page).
Click the 3-dot menu and select Bulk Import from the dropdown options.
Step 3: Download the Excel Template
On the Bulk Import page, click on the link labeled "here" to download the pre-formatted Excel template. This template will have the necessary columns to help you organize your job application data for import.
Step 4: Input Job Details into the Template
Open the Excel template you downloaded. You'll need to fill in the following fields for each job you want to import:
Job Title (Required)
Company Name (Required)
Job Description
Job Location
Job URL
Tags (Optional, use commas to separate multiple tags)
Notes (Optional, any additional details or personal notes about the job)
Important: Ensure that each job entry is correctly filled out in its respective row. Each row should represent one job application.
Once you've filled in all your job details, save the file.
Step 5: Import Your Spreadsheet into Careerflow
Go back to the Web Application and return to the Bulk Import page.
Click the Import button to upload your saved Excel file.
Step 6: All Set!
Once the file has been uploaded successfully, you should see all your job applications added to your Job Tracker.
From here, you can view, organize, and track the status of each job application right within Careerflow.
Note: If the Job Cards doesn't show automatically, make sure to refresh the web application.
Additional Tips
Format Check: Make sure the Excel file follows the template's structure. Missing fields or incorrectly filled-in columns might prevent a successful import.
Job Details: Be as detailed as possible when filling out the job description, location, and URL fields. This will help you track the most relevant information about each position.
Tagging Jobs: Using tags will help you filter and sort your job cards more effectively.
💡 By following these steps, you can seamlessly bulk import your job applications from spreadsheets or other external organizers into Careerflow, making it easier to stay organized and on top of your job search.
