This guide takes you from zero to your first application. It takes a few minutes, and your first 25 applications are free — no card required.

​
Before you begin

You’ll need:
  • An email address (you can sign in with Google).
  • A recent resume as a PDF or DOCX file.
If you upload a .docx resume, Tsenta preserves your original template, so tailored versions keep your formatting. A PDF works too — it just renders in Tsenta’s default layout.

​
Step 1 — Create your account

1

Open the dashboard

Go to dashboard.tsenta.com and sign up. You can use Google or an email and password.
2

Start onboarding

After signing in, Tsenta walks you straight into a short setup flow.

​
Step 2 — Upload your resume

Setup centers on one thing: your resume. Drop in your PDF or DOCX, and Tsenta reads it to build your profile automatically. Reading your resume usually takes about 30 seconds. Tsenta pulls out your contact details, work history, education, and skills so you don’t have to type them in.

​
Step 3 — Confirm your profile

Next, Tsenta shows you what it read so you can confirm it’s right. You’ll quickly review:

Application settings

How you want to apply — resume optimization, cover letters, and whether to auto-approve.

Personal info

Your name, email, phone, and location.

Application details

Work authorization status, work preferences, and background questions.

Education

Schools, degrees, majors, and dates.

Work experience

Titles, companies, dates, and your current role.

Skills

Your skill categories — add or remove anything.
If everything looks good, you can move through each step with a tap. Anything that’s missing or needs fixing, you can edit right there.
Setting your work authorization (for example, citizen, OPT, STEM-OPT, or H-1B) once means Tsenta can answer those questions correctly on every future application and filter out roles that don’t fit.

​
Step 4 — Find your first role

Once your profile is set, you land on your dashboard. The Jobs view shows roles matched to you, each with a match score.
  • Swipe right to apply, left to skip — or use the apply buttons.
  • Use search and filters (location, salary, role type, work setting, and more) to narrow things down.
  • Paste any job link to add a specific role to your queue.

​
Step 5 — Review and submit

When you apply, Tsenta prepares the application and — unless you’ve turned on auto-approve — shows you the tailored resume, cover letter, and answers first.
1

Review what's about to go out

Check the changes Tsenta made and the answers it drafted. Nothing has been sent yet.
2

Edit if you want

Tweak anything that doesn’t sound like you.
3

Approve and send

Tsenta submits the application and adds it to your tracker with a receipt of exactly what was sent.
That’s it — you’ve sent your first application.

​
Go more hands-off (optional)

Once you trust the results, you can let Tsenta run with less input. In your Apply settings you can:
  • Turn on auto-approve so tailored resumes and cover letters go out without a review step.
  • Choose how aggressively Tsenta tailors your resume.
