What is TealHQ?

TealHQ is an AI-powered career development platform that helps job seekers streamline and optimize their job search process. But it's so much more than just a job search tool!

At its core, Teal is an AI Resume Builder that creates targeted resumes. It also comes with a Job Tracking Dashboard to manage job applications effectively and offers a Chrome Browser Extension for seamless job saving and tracking. Plus, its keyword-matching technology boosts resume compatibility with job descriptions!

Here are some of the key features that I've found most valuable:

  • The Job Tracker is an absolute game-changer for job search organization. It automatically saves jobs from job search platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed. From there, it tracks your application status, follow-up dates, and even salary information all in one place!
  • The Resume Builder saves lots of time and is easy to use. All you have to do is upload a file of your resume, paste your LinkedIn URL, or manually paste in your work history. TealHQ will do the work of organizing and formatting your resume! From there, you can use AI to improve the wording or choose one of the templates for a better design. You get full control over customization!
  • My favorite Teal feature is the Chrome extension. It works with pretty much every major job board out there (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, you name it). When you're browsing jobs on these sites, Teal's extension helps you save and track different jobs and contacts without having to switch between tabs constantly. It's a massive time-saver!

And don't forget about their resources! It's packed with cover letter and resume examples, career guides, and more. The job search landscape is constantly evolving, and having access to updated resources is invaluable for staying current with industry trends and best practices.
