The bot vs the channel
- Bot — your personal assistant. Browse jobs, apply, upload a CV, and get alerts meant for you.
- Channel — a public feed of job highlights everyone sees.
You can use both. This article is about the bot.
Connect your account
Linking uses your existing Wrkzon account. It does not create a second profile.
- Sign in on the website.
- Go to Alerts and Telegram. The same Connect Telegram button also appears on My Zone and the home page.
- Click Connect Telegram.
- Your browser opens the bot in Telegram — tap Start.
- The bot confirms that your account is linked.
The connect link expires after 30 minutes. If you see "That connect link is invalid or expired", go back to the website and click Connect Telegram again to get a fresh one.

Browsing without linking
Anyone can send /jobs and browse the latest openings. Applying, uploading a CV, checking applications, and alerts all need a linked account.
Apply from Telegram
Tap Apply under Easy Apply jobs. Other listings have View, which opens the job on Wrkzon — not the employer's site.
Applications you send from the bot appear in My applications just like ones sent from the website.
Upload a CV from Telegram
- Tap Upload CV (or send
/upload). - Send your CV as a PDF or Word (.docx) document in the chat.
- The bot uploads it to your profile and confirms when it is done.
Tap My CVs (or /cvs) to see what is already on your profile. Review parsed details in My Zone → CVs.
Mini app
Open Open Wrkzon app from the bot keyboard (when enabled). The mini app tabs are Jobs, CVs, Apps, and Profile.
- CVs — upload a PDF/DOCX and list CVs on your account
- Apps — your recent applications and status
- Profile — link status, alerts, and shortcuts to My Zone
Uploads and applications use the same Wrkzon account as the website and bot chat.
Job alerts
/alerts on— start receiving job alerts in the chat/alerts off— pause them
Telegram alerts sit alongside your email settings. Manage everything at Alerts and Telegram.
Disconnect
Either send /unlink in the bot, or open Alerts and Telegram and click Disconnect Telegram. You can reconnect any time.
Troubleshooting
- No Connect Telegram button anywhere? The bot may be turned off for now — open a support ticket.
- The bot says I am not linked. Your link may have been removed. Generate a new connect link from the website.
- Only 5 jobs show. The bot lists the latest few jobs. Use Jobs on the website for full search and filters.
