Quick start guide
From a new account to your first application, in order.
This is the shortest complete path from signing up to a confirmed application. Each step notes how you know it worked before you move on.
- Create an account and sign in. Checkpoint: you reach the dashboard and your email is verified (Create your account).
- Upload a PDF resume on the Resumes page. Checkpoint: the resume appears in the list and is marked as your default (Uploading a resume).
- Fill in Profile and review Settings → Job Automation. Checkpoint: your desired roles and locations are set (Set up your profile).
- Connect Internshala on the Connections page so listings and applications can reference your portal profile (Connecting Internshala).
- On the Dashboard, run Scrape to collect listings, then Analyze to score them. Checkpoint: Jobs shows rows with match scores (Dashboard overview and Match scores and results).
- Open Jobs, sort by match score and review the best matches. Queue the ones you want to apply to (Finding jobs).
- Install and connect the Chrome extension (Installing the extension, Connecting the extension).
- On the Dashboard choose Deploy, select the queued jobs and start a run. Watch progress in the run panel and stop it at any time (Starting an application run).
- Review results on the Applications page and distinguish submitted from waiting or failed (Application statuses).

If a step fails
- No listings after Scrape: confirm Internshala is connected and that no filter is hiding results.
- Jobs have no score after Analyze: your resume or profile may be incomplete, or you may have hit your Analyze token budget.
- Deploy stops immediately: verify the extension is connected and your plan is eligible.
- An application waits for you: a required question had no safe answer, or a CAPTCHA appeared.
