Getting started with JobMaster

Welcome! JobMaster is a web app. Sign in from any modern browser at app.jobmaster.com.au. There’s nothing to install. Your data lives in a private namespace on Google Cloud (Sydney region), encrypted at rest and never mixed with other users.

What you’ll need

• A modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox)
• Your most recent resume as a .docx, .pdf, .txt, or .md file
• Optional: a cover letter you’ve written in your own voice. JobMaster will use it to learn your writing style.
• An active $39 AUD per month or $249 AUD per year subscription. Cancel anytime.

Your first sign-in

Sign up at app.jobmaster.com.au and JobMaster will walk you through a short wizard: upload your resume, set your industry and locations, set your writing style, optionally fill an answer bank for common application questions, and configure your search. Then you confirm your subscription and JobMaster starts working. About ten minutes from sign-up to your first batch of matches.

A note for international users

JobMaster currently searches the Australian LinkedIn and Seek job markets. Multi-country coverage is on the roadmap. If you’re job hunting outside Australia, the AU search may be less useful in the short term. Cancel anytime if it’s not a fit.

Building your profile

The quality of JobMaster’s matches depends almost entirely on how well your profile represents you. Spend 20 minutes here and it pays back for months.

What to include

• Every real skill you have - technical, soft, and domain-specific. JobMaster compares skills literally, so “project management” and “PM” aren’t the same thing. List both.
• Achievements with numbers. “Reduced outages 40%” is stronger than “improved reliability.”
• Qualifications and certifications, even the ones you think are obvious.
• Industries you’ve worked in - it helps JobMaster score adjacent roles correctly.

The optional cover letter

If you drop in a cover letter you wrote yourself, JobMaster models your tone from it. Every future letter sounds like you - not a generic AI. It’s optional, but we strongly recommend it.

Keep it alive

As you pick up new skills or finish new projects, update your profile. JobMaster will re-score your saved jobs against the new version so you can see anything that just became a better fit.

How your daily search runs

JobMaster is built to work while you don’t. Once your saved searches are in, the search runs itself. No installer, no machine that needs to stay on, no per-board sign-ins.

The cadence

JobMaster sweeps Seek and LinkedIn on Cloud Scheduler once a day. You pick the time of day it runs, to the quarter hour, in your own timezone, under your search settings. Your computer doesn’t need to be on. You can also trigger an on-demand run at any time without waiting for the next scheduled sweep.

Want results right now?

Hit Search for Jobs on the Sourcing page for an immediate sweep across all your saved searches. Useful when a role you’re excited about goes live and you want a tailored resume in the next few minutes rather than hours. For one specific listing, paste its link into Add a job by URL on the same page and JobMaster will fetch, score, and write for that role on the spot.

Pausing

Going on holiday, or starting a new role? Use the pause button beside any saved search to stop that one without deleting it. To stop everything, cancel from your account settings and resubscribe later. Your account data is preserved for 30 days after cancellation. If you don’t sign in for 30 days, JobMaster emails you a warning and then pauses your searches automatically.

Reviewing & applying

JobMaster does the hunting and the writing. You make the call on which roles are worth your name being attached to.

The match score

Every job gets a score from 1 (poor match) to 10 (strong match), plus a short note on what drove the number - the matching skills, the gaps, and anything unusual in the listing. Start by looking at 8-plus and expand the net if results are thin.

Where your documents live

For any match that clears your threshold, JobMaster generates a tailored resume.docx and cover-letter.docx. Each match has Resume and Cover Letter download buttons on the job detail page - click, save, then upload to the employer’s ATS.

The apply flow

• Open the job listing from the dashboard (one click).
• Download the tailored resume and cover letter.
• Hit Apply on the employer’s site.
• Upload the two documents JobMaster prepared.
• Fill in any board-specific fields the ATS asks for.
• Mark the role Applied in JobMaster so it moves into your pipeline.

As you hear back - rejection, interview, offer - move the role through the stages. Over time you’ll have a clean picture of your pipeline and the conversion rate at each step.

Tips & troubleshooting

A run comes back empty

The LinkedIn and Seek searches are reliable, but if a run returns no results it’s usually a too-narrow keyword filter or a remote-only location filter that excludes most listings. Loosen your filters from the search config page and trigger a manual run. If that doesn’t help, email contact@jobmaster.com.au with the date it started and we’ll dig in.

My match scores feel low

Nine times out of ten, this is a profile issue rather than a scoring issue. Walk through Guide 2 again and make sure every real skill, certification, and tool is listed. Add synonyms for common skills. Re-run analysis and watch the scores climb.

JobMaster is suggesting jobs I don’t want

Add the words you never want to see to the Job Title Blacklist on the Sourcing page, and JobMaster quietly routes anything matching them to Unsuitable. If the opposite is the problem and the net is too wide, the Job Title Whitelist flips it around: only titles containing one of your keywords get scored. Raising your minimum match score is the other lever for cutting noise.
