Install and use the browser extension

The Job Umbrella browser extension reads a job posting from the page you’re on and adds it to your tracker — with the description — in one click. It works on Chrome and Firefox.

1. Install the extension

Add Job Umbrella from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Once installed, you’ll see the Job Umbrella icon in your browser toolbar.

2. Connect it to your account

1. Open Settings and find the Browser extension section.
2. Create a new token and copy it (it’s shown once).
3. Click the extension icon, open its options, and paste two things: your app URL (https://jobumbrella.com) and the token.
4. Save. The extension is now linked to your account.

You only do this once. You can revoke a token any time from Settings.

3. Capture a job

1. Open a job posting on a supported site (LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, and many more).
2. Click the Job Umbrella extension icon.
3. Review the fields it pulled — title, company, location, description.
4. Click Add to Job Umbrella. The job appears in your tracker instantly.

Why capture the description?

The full description the extension grabs is exactly what the résumé customizer uses to tailor a résumé to that role. Capture, then customize — no copy-paste anywhere.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing added? Re-check that your app URL and token are pasted correctly in the extension options.
• Token stopped working? It may have been revoked — create a new one in Settings.
• Fields look thin on an unusual site? You can edit the job after adding it.
