Getting started with Spark Jobs

For students

Find your first match

1. Look around first if you want — you can browse real jobs without an account. When you're ready, create your account with your email.
2. Tell Spark what you're after. Onboarding asks your school, program, interests and the kind of work you want — internship, co-op, summer, part-time or gigs. Every step except email is skippable, but each one you fill makes your matches smarter.
3. Swipe the deck. Green check = interested, X = skip, arrow = go back. Every card shows a live match score; tap a card to see exactly WHY you match — skills, distance, schedule, your program.
4. Build your resume in minutes. Home → Resume Builder. Answer three quick questions for an instant AI draft, or upload one you already have. Pick a template, export a clean PDF. Spark AI flags weak bullets the way real screening software does.
5. Apply or reach out. Apply straight from the job page, message employers in the app, and track everything under Applications.
6. Ask the Assistant anything. The orange button is your AI career coach — interview prep, pay questions, cover letters — grounded in your own resume.

Under 18? You can browse and apply to jobs like anyone else. Claiming local gigs checks your region's legal working age first, and under-16s need a parent or guardian's okay on file.

For employers

Post your first role today

1. Create your account and pick Employer, or switch any time in Settings → Account type.
2. Post a job in minutes. Post Job → title, description, pay, location → tap "Improve with Spark AI" to polish the draft → choose how long it stays live (7–90 days) → publish. Your first active post is free.
3. Watch it work. The dashboard shows live views, saves and applications for every post.
4. Meet your candidates. The Candidates tab ranks students by real match factors — skills, availability, distance — and shows you why each one fits. Message them directly.
5. Need more? Employer Pro unlocks unlimited active posts, unlimited candidate browsing, auto-tailored resumes and post boosts.

For neighbours & community posters

Get help, or offer yours

1. Post a gig — yard work, moving help, tutoring, snow shoveling. Describe it, set what it pays, publish. Students nearby see it instantly.
2. Or offer a service — students can post the work they offer (like a lawn-care side business) so neighbours come to them.
3. Claim with confidence. Before anyone posts or claims, both sides confirm a short legal check-off, and Spark enforces the legal minimum working age for your region automatically.
4. Chat, do the work, rate each other. Everything happens in the app, with report and block controls built in.
