Using Events

Events are designed to help you track and prepare for scheduled moments along your job search without losing context across apps.

The Events section helps you:

• Track job-related calendar events in one organized place
• Associate events with specific job opportunities
• Prepare for interviews and conversations ahead of time
• Keep job-search events separate from personal life events

Events can exist on their own or be linked directly to a job opportunity or an interview prep, ensuring you always understand what the event is for and why it matters.

Default Event Types

Jobodex includes several built-in event types that cover the most common job-search scenarios. These types help categorize events and improve clarity when reviewing your timeline:

• None: a neutral, uncategorized event type.
• Interview: used for interviews at any stage of the hiring process. (See “Automatic Interview Prep Creation” below)
• Follow-Up: used for events that involve reconnecting or checking in.
• Networking: designed for relationship-building conversations.
• Job Fair: used for structured hiring or recruiting events.

Customizing Default Event Type Colors

Each default event type is assigned a default color. You can customize that color in App Settings. To customize a default event type color:

1. Open Jobodex
2. Navigate to App Settings (the icon in the lower, left corner)
3. In the “Stay Organized” section tap Event Settings
4. In the “Event Type Colors” section tap the color button next to the event type to change the color

Automatic Interview Prep Creation

When you create an event with the Interview event type, Jobodex automatically creates a Job Interview Prep entry for that event.

This prep entry is designed to help you:

• Capture notes and talking points
• Track questions you want to ask
• Prepare company and role-specific research
• Review everything in one place before the interview

The prep entry stays linked to the interview event, so you can move seamlessly between scheduling and preparation without duplicating work.

This happens automatically—no extra setup required.

Syncing Events with Apple Calendar

Jobodex can optionally sync events with Apple’s Calendar app, allowing your job-search events to appear alongside your personal calendar events.

How to Enable Calendar Syncing

1. Open Jobodex
2. Navigate to App Settings (the icon in the lower, left corner)
3. In the “Stay Organized” section tap Event Settings
4. Tap the Sync Jobodex Events with Apple Calendar toggle
5. Grant permission for Jobodex to access the Calendar app

Once enabled:

• Jobodex creates and manages a dedicated calendar for job-related events
• Events stay linked to their corresponding entries inside Jobodex
• Changes remain coordinated between Jobodex and Apple Calendar

Calendar App Sync When Using Multiple Devices

Permission to sync Jobodex Events with the Apple Calendar app must be explicitly enabled on each device where Jobodex is used.

Syncing is Optional

Syncing is optional. If you prefer to keep everything fully contained within Jobodex, you can use the events section without enabling Apple Calendar integration.

A Note on Control & Privacy

Jobodex only syncs events it creates—it does not read or modify unrelated calendar events. Syncing can be turned off at any time in App Settings, and all job data remains under your control.
