As someone actively applying for remote jobs, I've encountered a common issue: scheduling meetings with recruiters. The back-and-forth communication to finalize a time was causing unnecessary delays, sometimes wasting 2-3 days. To address this, I decided to integrate a calendar into my profile, allowing recruiters to see my availability and schedule meetings directly.
After researching several tools, I found that cal.com was the easiest and most efficient solution for this purpose. Below, I’ll walk you through the steps I took to integrate cal.com into my workflow using React.
Steps for Integration:
1. Create a cal.com account.
To get started, I created an account on cal.com, a platform designed to simplify meeting scheduling.
2. Navigate to the "Event Types" section and click on "Embed."
Once logged in, I went to the "Event Types" section, clicked on the three-dot symbol ("...") on the right side, and selected "Embed."
3. Create a React project and install the necessary packages.
Next, I created a new React project and installed the required package using the following command:
npm i @calcom/embed-react
4. Copy and use the provided embed code in the React project.
I then copied the embed code provided by cal.com and implemented it into my React project.
5. Outcome:
After completing these steps, the result was a seamless calendar integration, allowing recruiters to view my available slots and schedule meetings with just a few clicks.
This integration has significantly improved the efficiency of my job application process, reducing delays and ensuring that meetings are scheduled promptly.
