Your first week using Orbit

Welcome to Orbit. Here's a simple plan for your first week to get the most out of the app.

Day 1: Set up your profile

1. Add your name and photo in Settings > Profile
2. Choose your career stage in Settings > Preferences (this personalizes your experience)
3. Optional: Set up an AI API key if you want AI features (see "Complete guide to AI API keys")

Day 2: Add your first 5 jobs

1. Click "Add Job" from the Jobs page
2. Enter the company, role, and paste the job URL
3. Set the status (Saved if you haven't applied, Applied if you have)
4. Add any contacts you have at the company
5. Repeat for 4 more jobs you're tracking

Day 3: Explore your dashboard

1. Visit the Today tab to see your daily action items
2. Check the Week tab for a weekly perspective
3. Do a mood check-in (the wellness card at the top)
4. Set a next action on at least one job

Day 4: Build your network

1. Go to Contacts and add 3-5 people you've talked to
2. Link each contact to the relevant job
3. Note when you last spoke to them

Day 5: Set your rhythm

1. Go to Tools > Goals and set daily targets (start small: 1 application, 1 follow-up)
2. Check your Trends tab to see your pipeline overview
3. Review your Week in Review on the Week tab

Don't try to use everything at once. Start with Jobs + Contacts + Dashboard. Add Resume, Runway, and Wellness as you get comfortable.

Tip for non-technical users: You don't need AI features to get value from Orbit. The pipeline tracker, follow-up reminders, and calendar work great on their own.
