Question 1

What exactly does Personal Job Coach do?

Accepted Answer

Personal Job Coach gives you a full toolkit for every job application. Upload your resume once and for each role you want to apply to, you get a gap analysis, a bespoke resume 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 listing 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. Annual Unlimited covers a full year. 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 Bespoke 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 Bespoke 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 Bespoke 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.
