The Calendar view with upcoming interviews

The calendar follows the page’s search and Show closed settings, so interviews for closed applications are hidden unless Show closed is on. The Calendar view isn’t available on phones; use each application’s Next step instead.

​
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 where and your notes. Follow-ups are added as 30-minute events at 9:00 on the chosen day.
The .ics file is a one-time copy. If you change the interview in Reactive Resume later, download it again and update the event in your calendar.
