Add each interview to its application so it shows as the application’s next step, in its history and on the Calendar view. You can also set a follow-up reminder, and send any dated step to the calendar app you already use.

Schedule an interview

You can start from the application or from the calendar.
1

Open the application

Select it in Applications to open its details.
2

Choose Schedule an interview…

Under Next step, select Edit, then Schedule an interview….
Next-step Edit menu with Edit this interview, Schedule an interview and Set a follow-up

Edit the next interview or set a follow-up

You can also use Next step → Edit in an application workspace. Then fill in the interview:
1

Pick the interview type

Choose Screening, Technical, Behavioral, Onsite or Other.
2

Set the date, time and timezone

Enter Date and Time. The timezone is shown beside Time and starts from your account’s setting in Settings → Preferences. If the invitation uses another timezone, select Interview is in another timezone and choose it. Check the equivalent time shown for your own timezone.
3

Set the length

Under Length · minutes, choose 30, 45, 60 or 90. An existing interview with another length keeps that value available when you edit it.
4

Add the meeting details

Location can hold a meeting link, address or phone number. Under Who you’ll meet, use Add a person for each interviewer and add their name, role and optional public profile link. Copy the employer’s request into What they asked you to prepare.
5

Save

Select Save interview.
Edit interview dialog for the fictional Lumen technical interview

Edit the interview’s time and details

The interview appears in the application’s Activity, on the calendar, and as the Next step until it has finished. Interview times in Next step, Activity and Calendar, including day grouping and Today/Tomorrow, use your account timezone in Settings → Preferences, as Today does. Stage changes and notes keep their recorded whole-day dates. Editing an interview keeps its saved timezone, and calendar export keeps the same instant. Scheduling an interview does not change the application’s stage; move it to Interview when appropriate.

Edit or delete an interview

Select the interview on the calendar, in Upcoming interviews, or in the application’s Activity. You can also use Edit → Edit this interview… in the details sheet, or Next step → Edit in its workspace. Change what you need and select Save interview. A date and time skipped by a daylight-saving change is rejected. Pick a valid local time instead of accepting an automatic shift. To remove it, select Delete (Delete interview in the native app). The notice offers Undo for six seconds. Undo keeps the original round and its linked schedules. Removing an interview pauses its briefing schedules; rescheduling moves them to the new time, or pauses one whose lead has already passed. Check Career → Schedules after a change. The current application must load before the pending deletion is ready and its notice appears. Reloading, closing the tab or putting the native app in the background sends that acknowledged deletion. Undo cancels it and reloads the current application; a round already deleted in another session is not recreated. If that read fails, use Retry to refresh it. Device reminders are canceled only after the deletion succeeds.

Phone browser: the prepared interview deletion offers Undo

Phone browser Calendar keeps interviews hidden while a Couldn't load. Try again. notice offers Retry

If Undo cannot reload the interview, Retry checks again before showing it.

After you save an edited interview, select Update your calendar in the notice to download its updated .ics file. After a deletion completes, select Download cancellation to download a cancellation for the same event. These actions are available on web and in the native app. Undo does not generate a cancellation. Deleting through Activity (Timeline in the native app) asks for confirmation instead of offering Undo, then offers the same cancellation action.

Prepare for the round

Open the application’s workspace and choose Interview prep for a timed plan, briefing and questions to ask. You can enable a morning briefing in advance, then use Practice to rehearse out loud. See Get ready for interview day.

Use the Calendar view

In the web app, the Calendar tab shows one month of interviews across your applications. It follows the current month in your account timezone until you browse to a month. This month restores that behavior.
  • Use the arrows to change month, and This month to come back to today.
  • Each day shows up to three interviews, with the time and company. Select +n more to see the rest of a busy day.
  • Upcoming interviews, on the right, lists every interview that hasn’t finished yet, grouped by day. Select a card to edit the interview, or View application to open the application.
  • The legend under the calendar shows the color of each interview type.

See upcoming interviews in Calendar

The web calendar follows the page’s search and Show closed applications settings, so interviews for closed applications are hidden unless Show closed applications is on.

In a phone browser

The Calendar tab stays available, including when you open a Calendar link directly. Instead of the month grid, Upcoming interviews lists every interview that hasn’t finished yet, grouped by day, including appointments in later months. Month boundaries and day headings use your account timezone. Each card includes the time range, company, interview type and role.
  • Use the arrows to browse one month’s interviews, including past appointments. This month returns to the current month and the full upcoming agenda.
  • Select a card to edit the interview, or View application to open its application details.
  • Select Schedule interview to add another appointment.

In the native mobile app

Open Applications and choose Calendar in the view selector below the heading. Calendar is available on phones and tablets, alongside List, Board and Insights.
  • Use the arrows to change month, or This month to return to today. Until you browse or select a day, the calendar follows the current account date. This month resumes following it.
  • Select a day to see its interviews and follow-ups. On phones, dots mark days with events and the day’s agenda appears below the month. On a wide tablet layout, the agenda appears beside it.
  • Select an interview or follow-up card to edit it, or View application to open its application details. Coming up lists upcoming events by day.
  • Select Schedule interview, choose an application and select Continue to open the interview form.
The native calendar follows your application search and shows only open applications. It uses your account timezone to place events on their days.

Set a follow-up reminder

A follow-up is a reminder to check in, for example to email the recruiter a week after applying.
1

Open Set a follow-up…

In the application’s details, under Next step, select Edit, then Set a follow-up… (or Change the follow-up…).
2

Pick a date, time and what to do

Choose a Date and Time in your account timezone and, if you like, fill in What to do, such as “Email the recruiter”. Existing follow-ups open with their saved date, time and note. New follow-ups start at 09:00. If daylight saving skips your selected time, choose another time before saving. Web and native editors use the same rules.
3

Save

Select Save. To remove the reminder, select Clear.

Choose a valid date and time, then name a concrete follow-up action

The follow-up shows as the next step (unless an interview is coming up first) and turns amber once the date has passed. You can also set the follow-up date and note in Edit details….

Add a step to your calendar

When the next step is an interview or a follow-up, select Add to calendar under it. Reactive Resume downloads an .ics file named after the company and date. Open it to add the event to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook or any other calendar app. The event includes the type of step, the role and company, and the start and end time. Interviews also include the location, participants’ names and roles, preparation notes, and a reminder one hour before the start. Follow-ups are 30-minute events at their saved time; date-only follow-ups use 09:00 in your account timezone.
Calendar export is manual. Import Update your calendar or Download cancellation into your calendar app after changing or deleting an interview. Files retain the original event identity and include a sequence number; cancellation files mark that event cancelled and omit its reminder. Calendar apps handle imports differently, so check the resulting event in your calendar. Reactive Resume does not sync directly with external calendars.
