Sound Familiar?
Job hunting is an information war. Company profiles, interview questions, OB visit impressions, resume draft ideas — with dozens of companies to track, have you ever panicked before an interview thinking "what was that company's key feature again?"
Why Simple Memo Transforms Job Hunting
With Simple Memo, you can send a memo within 10 seconds of leaving the interview room. Memos accumulate as emails — search by company name and your entire history of interviews, impressions, and questions appears chronologically. When writing your resume, just pull phrases from your memo archive.
4-Step Job Hunting Workflow
- Right after interviews: Record Q&A immediately — Launch Simple Memo as you exit. "[Company A/Round 2] Asked about motivation → Answered about their global expansion."
- At info sessions: Capture impressions — During the event, memo "[Company B] Young employee autonomy, overseas training available ← use in motivation letter" and send.
- During commute: Don't lose resume ideas — Capture phrases on the train. "Self-PR: Part-time leadership → team achieved 120% of target."
- Before interviews: Search by company name — Search "[Company A]" in Gmail before your next round. All past notes appear chronologically for targeted prep.
