⏱️ What to Expect from Your 3-Minute Onboarding

Just signed up for CareerOS? Amazing — your career journey is about to get way easier (and a lot more fun). 🚀

Before you dive into tools and jobs, we’ll walk you through a quick 3-minute onboarding flow. It’s simple, personalized, and sets up your entire experience.

Here’s what to expect:

🎯 Step 1: Choose Your Dream Outcome

We’ll start by asking: What’s your current career goal?

Whether it’s “Find an internship,” “Get a full-time job,” or “Figure out my options,” — this goal helps us understand where you're headed and how we can support you.

💡 You can change this anytime from your dashboard!

💼 Step 2: Pick Your Career Interests

Next, tell us what industries or roles you're curious about. Finance? Design? Tech? Social impact?

Your picks help us:

  • Personalize job suggestions
  • Tailor your resource library
  • Recommend the right employer connections

🧭 Step 3: Get Matched with Smart Tools

Based on your inputs, we’ll customize:

  • Your dashboard layout
  • The tasks we recommend
  • The content in your Digest and email updates

No two students see the same thing — it’s your experience, your way.

🔓 What You Unlock After Onboarding

Once you complete onboarding, you’ll officially become a Level 0: Noobie and unlock:

  • Your personalized dashboard
  • Smart to-do list
  • Company and job browsing
  • XP + Leveling system
  • Your first badge ("Welcome!")

It’s the launchpad to ResumeOS, events, job feeds, and everything CareerOS has to offer.

Pro Tip: If you skipped onboarding or want to redo it, just head to [Settings > Restart Onboarding].
