Learn Candidlyst
Short videos to help you set up once and use it well from there.
Setup
One-time work that makes the tool actually useful. Do these once, well, and everything else -- analyzing jobs, generating applications, checking ATS fit -- draws on what you build here. Essentially a one-time cost and effort.
Think of this less like configuring settings and more like training the AI on who you actually are. The time you invest in setup pays dividends in accuracy throughout everything you do in Candidlyst afterward: sharper fit scores, resumes that sound like you, applications that don't need heavy rewriting. It's a few focused sessions, done once, not an ongoing chore.
