Jobright.ai

“I applied to 500 jobs. Got 1 interview.” That line hit me yesterday at Trae’s AI meetup in SF. Not because it was unusual, but because I’ve lived it too. Back before Jobright.ai, I sent out hundreds of resumes. Most never got a reply. Some got an instant rejection. Every once in a while, a recruiter would answer, and I’d pin all my hopes on that one email. The truth is, resumes alone didn’t open doors for me. Cold reach-outs did. Most people ignored me, a few said no. But one “yes” led to my first Microsoft internship. That one chance snowballed into Google, then Twitter, then starting jobright.ai. So when I spoke yesterday, I shared four takeaways I believe will define the future of AI coding and job search: 𝟭. 𝗔𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲. The best engineers aren’t just fast typers anymore. They’re the ones with “taste”, who can prompt well, structure context, and get the most out of AI. 𝟮. 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝟬→𝟭, 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲. It can draft a script in seconds, but large systems break down without strong context engineering. That’s the next frontier. 𝟯. 𝗗𝗲𝘃 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲. Smooth experiences cost money. Cursor’s pivot to token-based pricing won’t be the last. Efficiency will separate winners from the rest. 𝟰. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀. Big tech wants seniors. Startups want plug-and-play. Yet it’s new grads who often adapt fastest to AI workflows. That’s why we built Jobright.ai: to help early-career engineers stand out in a system not designed for them. ✅ Verified AI + tech jobs, updated hourly ✅ Resume match score for every posting ✅ Autofill + insider tools to reach hiring managers directly We’re not another job board. We’re building the toolkit I wish I had when I was sending those 500 applications. If you’re just starting your career, I hope this makes the path feel less lonely. And if you’re building or hiring in AI, I’d love to hear your perspective.👇 #Jobright #MeetUp #JobSearch #AI #SanFrancisco

99% of job seekers don’t know this. A simple LinkedIn trick can put your profile at the top of recruiter lists. Here’s how it works: 🔄 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝. 🔄 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐍 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. Why? Every week, LinkedIn refreshes the list of candidates who just toggled Open to Work. Recruiters log in Mondays between 9–11AM. That means your profile shows up first, right when they’re scanning for new talent.  To maximize visibility: Post a short update at the same time. Include: The role you’re targeting (titles, locations, etc.) One measurable achievement (past experience with highlighted data) A link to your resume or portfolio Use sparingly, once every 3 weeks is enough to stay visible without raising flags. But visibility is just the first step. That’s why we built Jobright.ai: ✅ Fresh, verified job postings every day ✅ Resumes tailored to job descriptions in 10 seconds ✅ Insider outreach that triples reply rates ✅ Autofill your applications with 95% precision Because the job search isn’t just about being qualified. It’s about being seen. 👉 Try it here: Jobright.ai #jobsearch #career #jobhunting #jobright

When I graduated, I failed 39 interviews before my first offer.  Once I learned these secrets, every interview became an offer. In 2009, I graduated in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Tech layoffs were everywhere. Giants like Oracle, Meta completely stopped campus recruiting. Believe me, the market was tougher than it is today. I sent nearly 1,000 applications. 39 rejections later, I finally broke through. Then suddenly: Amazon, Yahoo, Box, Gilt. All within weeks. So what changed? Here are 4 key lessons I wish someone had told me earlier, they are all actionable: 𝟏. 𝐒𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥. If the company thinks you’re nearby, your application to  interview rate jumps. One trick: Do the virtual rounds, then quietly fly in for onsite. 𝟐. 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐝. Companies reuse them for consistency. You can find 70%+ of them from forums or peers. 𝟑.𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. Forget listing everything. Have one story that shows grit + problem-solving. I told a story of spending 30+ hours over 5 days tracking a bug to a single line in 10k+ code. That’s obsession and resilience. 𝟒. 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭. In design/coding rounds — talk out loud. Brainstorm with your interviewer like a teammate. I’ve passed even when I didn’t find the final answer. 💡 Final note: The first job is the hardest. Always. You’re not just proving your ability, you’re learning how to play the game. After that, it gets easier. At Jobright, we’re building exactly that: Your job search companion that applies the best job search hacks for you so you never get stuck just because you don’t know the rules. 👉 Try it today: https://jobright.ai/ 🔔Follow me for more exclusive job search tips! #jobsearch #career #interviewtips #jobrightai #futureofwork

Attention International Students❗️ New F-1 / OPT rules just dropped, and the impact could be massive. Yesterday, DHS(Department of Homeland Security) officially published a proposed rule in the Federal Register to tighten F-1, J-1, and I visas. Key changes in the proposal: - No more “duration of status”, visas capped at 4 years max - Grace period cut from 60 → 30 days after graduation or OPT - Graduate students cannot change programs mid-study - No “sideways” or “downward” moves (e.g., master’s → another master’s) - Language training capped at 24 months - Extensions (EOS) allowed, but only with compelling reasons and require biometrics For F-1 students, this could mean: - More paperwork + uncertainty about finishing degrees on time - Stress during OPT job searches if visa extensions drag on - Additional financial/legal burdens for both students and universities Advices for International Students: 1️⃣ Plan your career direction early Now, fewer pivots, less room for trial and error. Every wrong turn now costs more. 2️⃣ Be cautious with CPT / Day-1 CPT Non-accredited programs or casual internships = 🚩 High risk under new rules. 3️⃣ Avoid “second master’s” or mastering-out New rules block lateral/lower-level degrees. A second master’s or dropping from PhD → master’s could cost your status. 4️⃣Comments only count if they’re substantive. Submit comment to the government here: Regulations.gov Don’t just write “I oppose” or “I support.” Use facts, data, personal experience, or logic to explain the impact. This isn’t final yet, but it signals one thing: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠. At Jobright, we stand with international students.  We’ll keep tracking policy changes and keep building tools to help you: Your career dreams don’t end with a regulation. We’ve got your back. 💪 👉 Find real opportunities now: https://jobright.ai/ #F1Visa #InternationalStudents #H1B #Immigration #JobSearch

“I tested 8 AI job tools… and only 1 felt like it actually worked.” That’s what Phil Schroeder wrote after spending weeks comparing platforms that promise to make job searching easier. He tried the biggest names in the market. Some looked great on paper, but made them fill out forms twice. Some claimed to find “perfect matches” but spammed them with irrelevant jobs. Some were so automated, they felt completely out of control... Then he tried Jobright.ai. Here’s why we stood out in his review: • 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 — our job feed is verified, updated daily, and filtered to match each user’s profile. • 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤-𝐢𝐧 — apply in seconds, but still edit and personalize before hitting send. • 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 — no bloat, no broken steps, just a clean pipeline from discovery to application. It wasn’t about flashy AI. It was about feeling like the product was built for them. And that’s exactly the point. For the first 18 months, Jobright had $0 revenue and fewer than 10 daily active users in our first year. We weren’t “viral.” But we were relentless. → 50+ user calls every week. → Hundreds of cold emails sent just to get feedback. → Every complaint became a to-do for the next sprint. Those tiny, gritty iterations compound. One job seeker at a time. One small win at a time. When you do that long enough, the gap between you and the “average” platform gets wider than any marketing claim can bridge. Today, millions of people use Jobright.ai every month. Not because we shouted the loudest, but because we listened the closest. If you’re building something: don’t chase hype. Chase the people you serve. 👉 Jobright.ai — the AI job tool actually built for job seekers.

We crossed 4.3M visits last month. +81% month-over-month growth. +1.9M visits in a single month. Not from virality. But from hundreds of tiny, gritty moments. When we first started Jobright, no one took us seriously. We weren’t backed by Tier 1 VCs. We didn’t have FAANG founders or celebrity angels. We were 3 people in a $1000/mo broken office, cold-emailing strangers and building late into the night. For the first 18 months, we made $0 revenue. And during the first year, our daily active users were often in the single digits. Some days, fewer than 10 people even opened the product. Every week, we made 50+ user calls. We asked: → Why aren’t you getting replies? → What’s stopping you from applying? → Where does the process feel rigged? Then we built the things we wish existed when we were job seekers: • Resumes tailored in 10 seconds • Cold emails with 3x reply rates • Job lists that don’t waste your time • Autofill job applications with high precision One painful feature at a time. One user insight at a time. Now we’re at 4.3 million visits. We’re still small. But we’re growing fast, and helping millions. This isn’t a brag. It’s a reminder: Build quietly. Listen deeply. Ship relentlessly. Ignore the noise. Help real people like YOU, that’s why there’s no ‘i’ in Jobright😆. 👉Jobright.ai — still just getting started.
