Question 1

What exactly does Personal Job Coach do?

Accepted Answer

Start with a free ATS score on your CV, no sign-up needed. See exactly how your CV performs against employer screening systems and get an 8-point breakdown in seconds. From there, Personal Job Coach gives you a full toolkit for every job application. Upload your CV once and for each role you want to apply to, you get a gap analysis, a tailored CV rewritten for that specific job, a tailored cover letter, a company briefing, and a mock interview session. Everything is built around your background and the specific job, not generic templates.

Question 2

Do I need to use Personal Job Coach's job board to use the tools?

Accepted Answer

There's no job board. You find jobs wherever you already search: LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, company websites, or anywhere else. Paste the job description or URL into your tracker and the full toolkit activates for that role. The tools work for any job from any source.

Question 3

What is a gap analysis and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A gap analysis compares your resume against a specific job description and tells you exactly where you fall short: missing hard skills, keyword gaps, and soft skill framing. Most candidates skip this step and wonder why they're not getting callbacks. Running it before you apply means you can address the gaps in your resume and cover letter, rather than finding out at the interview.

Question 4

Is the cover letter actually tailored to each job, or is it a template?

Accepted Answer

It's written around your specific resume and the specific job description you paste in. The tool reads both, matches your experience to the role's requirements, and adjusts tone depending on whether the listing is from a direct employer or a recruiter. No templates. No fill-in-the-blank.

Question 5

What does the Company Briefing cover?

Accepted Answer

For named companies, the briefing covers culture and values, recent news and announcements, leadership, and how the company sits in its competitive landscape. If the job posting is from a recruiter and the company isn't named, we produce a sector briefing instead, covering industry dynamics, typical culture signals, and the questions you're most likely to face. Either way, you go in informed.

Question 6

How does the mock interview work?

Accepted Answer

The practice session is built around the specific role you're applying for, not a generic question bank. You'll work through behavioral questions using the STAR framework, role-specific technical questions drawn from the job description, and get direct feedback on each answer covering clarity, content, and what to tighten up.

Question 7

How does pricing work? Is there a subscription?

Accepted Answer

There's no subscription and nothing auto-renews. You pay per job application or buy a pack of credits. A Single Shot gives you the full toolkit for one application. The Job Hunter Pack covers ten. Full Power gives you unlimited applications for 30 days. Full Search gives you unlimited applications for 90 days. Every plan is a one-off payment. The product is completely free during beta.

Question 8

Is there a free version?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The product is completely free during beta with no sign-up required to try it. Paid plans launch in Spring 2026. When they do, the entry point is $4.99 for a single application, with no auto-renew on any plan.

Question 9

How do I upload my resume?

Accepted Answer

Upload your resume as a PDF or Word document, or export your LinkedIn profile as a PDF and upload that. That profile becomes the foundation for all the tools. You only need to upload once. Every job you track runs off the same profile, though you can update it at any time.

Question 10

Is my resume and personal data kept private?

Accepted Answer

Your resume and profile data is used only to generate your career tools. We don't share it with employers, recruiters, or third parties. You're not in any candidate database, and your data isn't used for anything beyond the service you've asked for.

Question 11

What's the difference between the Resume Builder and the Tailored Resume?

Accepted Answer

The Resume Builder takes your uploaded profile and produces a clean, professionally formatted, ATS-ready resume. Think of it as your master document. The Tailored Resume then takes that master and rewrites it specifically for each job you apply to, reordering priorities, adjusting language, and matching keywords to the job description. You use the Resume Builder once. The Tailored Resume runs for every application.

Question 12

Can I use Personal Job Coach for jobs in any industry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tools work across industries and job levels because they're built around the specific job description you paste in, not a fixed template for a particular field. Whether you're applying for a marketing role, an engineering position, or a senior leadership job, the analysis, resume, and cover letter are built for that role specifically.

Question 13

Can I update my resume after I've uploaded it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can re-upload your resume at any time from your profile. If you've had a promotion, completed a course, or want to target a different type of role, upload your updated resume and your Career Strategy will reflect the change.

Question 14

What if I only need to make a small change to my resume?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the change. For minor updates (a new role, a course, a skill), re-uploading your resume is enough. Your Career Strategy will update automatically. For a bigger change in direction, such as switching industries or targeting a different level of seniority, running a full Career Strategy again will give you the most accurate results.

Question 15

Does it work if I'm applying to jobs in a different language?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Personal Job Coach generates every output in the language of the job, not the language of your account. If you paste a job description in French, you get a French cover letter and tailored resume. If the next role is in English, those outputs are in English. This works across a wide range of languages, which makes it particularly useful for expats and multilingual professionals targeting more than one market at the same time.

Question 16

How do I add a job to my tracker?

Accepted Answer

You have two options. The quickest way is to paste the URL of the job posting: we extract the title, company, and full description automatically. If the URL doesn't work or you found the job offline, you can paste the job description manually instead. Either way, once the job is in your tracker, every tool activates for that role.

Question 17

Can I apply to a company even if there is no job posting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you click Target a New Job, choose "Speculative application" instead of "Job posting." Enter the company name, the role or area you are targeting, and optionally the company website. Personal Job Coach will build a tailored cover letter, company briefing, and interview prep around that company, even without a formal listing. This is ideal when you know which company you want to work for but nothing is advertised.

Question 18

Why not just use ChatGPT or Gemini for this?

Accepted Answer

General AI tools are useful for parts of a job search, especially brainstorming. What they cannot do is produce a structured, formatted CV as a downloadable PDF, score your CV against ATS systems, keep a persistent profile across multiple applications, or run a mock interview with company-specific context built from a gap analysis and company briefing. Personal Job Coach connects all of this into one workflow: one upload, every application prepared end to end. General AI tools require you to repaste your CV and the job description every time, and the output is raw text that still needs formatting and judgment to use.
