How does it work? 

Jobflow’s AI-powered platform takes your current federal resume, optimizes it for private sector employers, and then tailors it to every job while drafting a personalized cover letter to match.

We’ll provide custom insights on your fit for each role, deliver ideal-match jobs to you daily, and organize your entire job search.

The goal is to help you land more interviews, save hours on job applications, and shave months off your job search.

Onboarding Instructions: 

1. Visit https://www.myjobflow.com/ and click any of the 'get started' buttons.

2. Create a login (username and password) on the 'Sign Up' screen either by 1) entering your email and creating a password (and clicking on the verification link in email) or 2) using the 'sign in with Google' functionality, and selecting a Google user account you have. This will created your account user your Google user for single sign-on (SSO) access.

3.Select 'I'm a federal worker and need my resume optimized for the private sector' and click 'next'.

4. Upload your current resume in PDF format. It will take approximately 1-2 minutes to scan and start to optimize your current resume before moving to the next step, which varies based on the length of your current resume.

5. 'Skip' the 'Now let's tailor your resume to a specific job' step unless you already have a specific job in mind to which you want to apply.  Here is a guide to how your federal role and transferable skills may translate to related roles in the private sector. This should give you some ideas for job titles that may be relevant.

6. Answer the details of your ideal job preferences - ideal job titles or keywords, location, work setting, job type, salary. These we will be used for us to help find matching jobs for you (more on that below).

7. Click 'Go to dashboard'

8. Scroll through the 5-part dashboard tutorial by clicking 'next' after reading each purple box.  This will give you a high-level overview of the account layout and features.

9. We recommend you first add critical details to your 'Master Resume', which is simply the condensed version of the resume you upload during onboarding.  It is not ready to apply to jobs.  Master Resume is simply where you'll add all relevant details Jobflow should refer to when creating tailored resumes for you.

It is highly recommended that you add key accomplishments and achievements from your most recent annual self-assessment or other feedback and documentation, focusing on:

a. What you accomplished, how it was measured, and how you accomplished it.  I find the XYZ Format to be helpful to help frame achievements.

b. Did your role deal with budgets or dollar figures?  How much and what size?  How many people did you lead? Did you help cut costs by a certain % or did your work lead to improvements that can be quantified?  How did you achieve that exactly? Those are the details to add to Master Resume under your work history.

10.  Now you are ready for Jobflow to optimize and tailor your Master Resume to specific jobs to which you want to apply! Click on the 'Tailor my resume' button and copy and paste the details from a specific job posting you find on any job site - or on any employer's career site - and continue:

11. Your new tailored resume and personalized cover letter will be saved to your 'Job Manager' where you can access your documents and custom insights about each job by clicking the job card:

12. Review your tailored resume, read the JobMatch insights we've prepared on your fit for this role, and what we updated in your tailored resume based on the employer's requirements. You may edit any details within the web editor.  Click the styling button to change the style and format, and then 'download PDF' when you are ready to apply to this particular role.

Hint: make sure the 'headers and footers' box is unchecked in the advanced settings in the 'Download PDF' popup:

13. Review your personalized cover letter by going 'back' to the job card on Job Manager, and clicking the 'cover letter' button.  Edit anything you don't like, and then 'download PDF'.

14. Use the 'apply' button on the job card or in the tailored resume view (shown above) to visit the page from which you copied the job details (another job site, the employer's career site, LinkedIn, etc.).  That should be where you formally apply to the job with your new documents.

15.  You'll receive a welcome email on Day 1 that gives you an overview of the account.  You'll then receive one email daily for your first 7 days with one tip and best practice on using different features within the account.

16. Starting Day 2, you should receive 'Curated Jobs', which are jobs our system finds for you that match your skills, experience, tailored resumes, and job preferences.  You'll receive an email with a snippet of the top 3 job matches along with others within the Curated Jobs tab in your account.  You can have us tailor your resume and draft a cover letter by simply clicking 'Tailor Resume' for any of these jobs:
