Troubleshooting Common Issues and Tips
We know setting up and using AI-powered tools can feel tricky at first. Here are some common hiccups and how to handle them:
Why Am I Getting Irrelevant Matches?
Usually, this means your preferences need fine-tuning. Be specific about location, salary, role level, and industries. Updating these regularly keeps the AI on track.
My Skills Don’t Appear in Searches
Try using industry-standard terms and include variations (e.g., “JavaScript” and “JS”). Adding both technical and soft skills gives a fuller picture.
No Responses from Employers?
Check your profile optimization. Use keywords from job descriptions, quantify your achievements, and stay active with interview prep and feedback.
| Issue | Likely Cause | Quick Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Irrelevant Matches | Broad or missing preferences | Update filters & preferences |
| Skills Not Found | Non-standard terms | Use common industry keywords |
| No Employer Responses | Profile optimization needed | Add keywords & achievements |
| Location Mismatch | Too narrow radius | Expand location range or enable remote |
