Pitch Pilot Telegram Job Search Guide

Pitch Pilot is a Telegram bot that aggregates job postings from multiple sources and lets you search them with natural-language filters. This guide walks you through setting it up, running your first search, and applying to roles directly from Telegram. You only need a Telegram account and a resume saved on your phone or computer.

What You’ll Need

• A Telegram account (free, available on iOS, Android, and desktop).
• The Pitch Pilot bot – search for it in Telegram or open a direct link if you have one.
• A resume in PDF or DOCX format saved locally, for applying to jobs.
• Optional: a LinkedIn profile or portfolio link to include in applications.

Step-by-Step

1. Open Telegram and find Pitch Pilot. In the Telegram search bar, type “Pitch Pilot” and look for the verified bot (blue checkmark). Tap it to open the chat.
2. Start the bot. Tap the “Start” button at the bottom of the chat, or type /start and send it. The bot will reply with a welcome message and a menu of options.
3. Set your job preferences. Type /preferences or tap the corresponding button. You’ll be asked for your desired job title, location (city or remote), and keywords. Enter them one at a time, sending each as a message.
4. Run your first search. Type /search or tap the “Search Jobs” button. The bot will ask you to confirm your preferences. Reply “Yes” or type /confirm.
5. Review the results. The bot will send a list of job postings, each with a title, company, location, and a short snippet. Tap on a job to see the full description.
6. Filter results further. If you want to narrow down, use commands like /filter salary 80000 (for minimum salary) or /filter type remote. You can also type a keyword directly in the chat, e.g., “Python developer” to see only matching jobs.
7. Save jobs you like. Tap the bookmark icon on a job card, or type /save followed by the job ID (shown in the card). The bot will add it to your saved list.
8. Apply to a job. Tap the “Apply” button on a job card. The bot will ask for your resume – upload it as a file. It may also ask for a cover letter or a link to your portfolio. Send the required items.
9. Track your applications. Type /applications to see a list of jobs you’ve applied to, along with their status (submitted, viewed, interview). The bot updates this as the employer responds.
10. Set up alerts. Type /alerts and choose how often you want new job notifications (e.g., daily or weekly). The bot will send you new matches automatically.

Common Mistakes

• Skipping preferences. If you don’t set preferences, the bot returns generic results that may not match your skills. Always complete the /preferences step.
• Using vague keywords. Searching “manager” will return hundreds of unrelated roles. Use specific terms like “project manager” or “product manager” with location.
• Uploading a non-standard resume format. The bot accepts PDF and DOCX only. Uploading a .pages or .txt file will cause an error.
• Ignoring the job ID. When saving or applying, you need the job ID from the card. Without it, the bot can’t find the posting.
• Not checking spam. Sometimes bot messages get filtered by Telegram’s spam filter. Check your “Saved Messages” or spam folder if you don’t see replies.

Tips

• Use Boolean operators. In the search bar, you can type “(Java OR Kotlin) AND remote” to get more precise results.
• Set alerts for multiple roles. You can create up to five separate alerts with different keywords. This helps if you’re open to several job types.
• Keep your resume updated. The bot uses the resume you upload for every application. Make sure it’s tailored to the roles you’re applying for.
• Check the “Saved” list regularly. Jobs can expire quickly. Apply to saved positions within a day or two.
• Use the /help command. If you’re unsure about a feature, type /help to see a list of all commands and examples.

Troubleshooting

• The bot doesn’t respond. First, check your internet connection. Then type /start again. If it still doesn’t work, try restarting Telegram or clearing the cache.
• Search returns no results. Widen your location (e.g., change “New York” to “United States”) or remove a keyword. Also check that your preferences are set correctly with /preferences.
• Resume upload fails. Make sure the file is under 20 MB and in PDF or DOCX format. Try renaming the file to something simple like “resume.pdf” and upload again.
• Job card shows “Expired”. This means the posting is no longer active. Tap “Similar Jobs” on the card to see related openings.
• Alerts not sending. Go to /alerts and confirm they are enabled. Also check that Telegram notifications are allowed for this chat in your phone settings.
• Can’t find the bot. Search for “Pitch Pilot” exactly. If you still can’t find it, ask a friend to share the bot’s link with you.
