Day zero.

Nobody taught you this part.

The empty resume.

One page because there's nothing to put on it yet.

The silence.

Fifty applications. Two automated rejections. Nothing else.

The pressure.

Parents keep asking. Friends are posting offer letters. You're refreshing your inbox.

The catch-22.

Every listing wants three years of experience for an entry-level role.

The rejection.

Nobody tells you how personal it feels when they say no before they've met you.

Day one.

Nobody taught you this part.

Orbyt did.

Three tailored picks a day. Not a hundred. The ones that actually fit.
TL;DR
  • Your first real system. Right now you’re toggling between a spreadsheet, your email, three job boards, and a note in your phone. Orbyt puts every application, every stage, every company in one place. Drag a job from ‘Applied’ to ‘Interviewing’ and feel something you haven’t felt yet: control.
  • A resume that earns the interview. You don’t have ten years of experience. You have coursework, projects, internships, and skills that matter when they’re framed right. Orbyt’s AI rewrites your resume for each role, pulling forward what recruiters actually care about. You’ll stop wondering if your resume is good enough.
  • Momentum, even on the bad days. Your first job search is a marathon, not a sprint. Orbyt sets daily targets, tracks your streaks, and checks in on your mood. Because the difference between someone who lands a job and someone who gives up isn’t talent. It’s showing up one more day.

What changes.

Your first real system.

Right now you’re toggling between a spreadsheet, your email, three job boards, and a note in your phone. Orbyt puts every application, every stage, every company in one place. Drag a job from ‘Applied’ to ‘Interviewing’ and feel something you haven’t felt yet: control.

A resume that earns the interview.

You don’t have ten years of experience. You have coursework, projects, internships, and skills that matter when they’re framed right. Orbyt’s AI rewrites your resume for each role, pulling forward what recruiters actually care about. You’ll stop wondering if your resume is good enough.

Momentum, even on the bad days.

Your first job search is a marathon, not a sprint. Orbyt sets daily targets, tracks your streaks, and checks in on your mood. Because the difference between someone who lands a job and someone who gives up isn’t talent. It’s showing up one more day.

Your first offer sets the trajectory for the next decade. These are the roles new graduates are landing in 2026, and the gap between knowing the market and guessing is worth tens of thousands. Start informed.

Your first search is brutal. We know.

Journaling

Guided prompts for processing rejection and imposter syndrome.

Breathing

Common questions

Yes. Orbyt was built for people who have never managed a job search before. The pipeline tracker, smart reminders, and AI resume tailoring handle the organizational complexity so you can focus on interviews.

Yes. The free plan is the full tracker: 10 active jobs, contact tracking, the browser extension, and the full salary explorer. No credit card. No time limit. Hosted AI resume tailoring is included on Free with monthly limits; Pro raises them substantially.

Yes. The free Interview Question Generator creates AI-tailored questions for any company and role. No signup required. Available at orbytlabs.ai/orbyt-jobs/interview-prep.

Most new grads who land roles in their field apply to fifty to a hundred positions over three to six months. Quality beats quantity: a tailored application for a role you are qualified for outperforms ten generic ones. Orbyt tailors each application automatically so you can be selective without being slow.

One page. Lead with education, then projects (coursework, internships, open source, personal builds), then skills. Quantify everything: 'Led a team of 4 to build X, used by 200 users.' Orbyt's AI rewrites each bullet to the job description and scores it against ATS filters before you send it.

Take the first offer only if it moves you toward your target career or if runway is tight. Otherwise, keep searching. A mismatched first job costs more in two years than a three-month delay costs now. Use Orbyt's runway planner to quantify exactly how long you can wait.
