Fair questions, straight answers

A job-hunt tool built around one constraint: it will not invent experience. You confirm your real career into a vault, and everything after that is built only from what is in there. A resume line with no confirmed source fails the build rather than reaching you as a warning.

It covers the whole hunt: finding jobs, judging fit, tailoring, filling applications, tracking them, and preparing for interviews.

A general chat assistant has no record of your career, so when you ask it to match a job description it fills the gaps between what you told it and what the job wants. It is not being dishonest. It ran out of facts and kept writing, because writing is what it does.

JobShifu has your confirmed record and a check that refuses to produce a document containing a line that record cannot support. It also remembers: a chat forgets you between sessions, and your vault gets stronger with every job you read.

Yes. Nothing in the approach is specific to software. The vault holds roles, projects and achievements in any field, and the honesty check works on citations rather than on subject matter.

Vocabulary and framing adapt to the field you are targeting, so the language proposed for a nursing role is not the language proposed for a backend engineering one.

No, and it is not a missing feature. JobShifu fills the application and stops. Pressing Submit is always your action.

Mass auto-applying produces volume rather than interviews, and an application sent without you reading it is one you cannot follow up on, correct, or even remember making. The product is built to make each application better rather than to make more of them.

No, and anyone promising that is not worth listening to.

What it can do is remove the failures that are actually fixable: applying late to postings that already have hundreds of applicants, spending evenings on roles you were never a fit for, sending a generic resume, and walking into interviews unable to talk about your own bullets. It cannot control who is hiring.

Yes, and it is the fastest way to start. JobShifu reads your existing resume and proposes vault entries from it, which you then confirm.

The confirmation step is not busywork. Nothing becomes citable until you have stood behind it, and that is precisely what makes every later guarantee mean something.

Importing a resume and confirming what it found is a first sitting; you can tailor immediately afterwards.

The vault keeps growing after that, though, and that is the design. Every job description you read surfaces things your resume left out, and confirming those makes the next tailoring stronger. It is less a setup step than something that compounds.

No. The web app is the full product: tailoring, fit, tracking and interview prep all work without it.

The extension adds the two things that can only happen on the page you are applying from: saving a posting where you found it, and filling the application form. What the extension does.

There is a free tier that covers the everyday work: building your vault, saving jobs, filling applications from your profile, and tracking what you sent.

Paid plans start at $29.99 a month and cover the parts that cost real money to run, principally resume tailoring volume and AI-drafted answers to open-ended screening questions.

Because tailoring a resume is not free to provide. Every tailoring run costs real money in model usage, which means unlimited free tailoring is a promise that ends either in a quiet quality downgrade or in the product disappearing.

The split follows that line rather than a marketing one: work that costs us nothing per use is free, work that has a real per-use cost is what you pay for.

Yes, from Settings, and it takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. Your vault and documents remain accessible on the free tier afterwards.

Your vault is scoped to your account and isolated at the database level, so it is readable only by you. You can wipe its entire contents in one action from Settings, and you can delete the account outright, which removes your data and cancels any subscription.

Both are real deletions rather than a flag that hides your account. What JobShifu collects and how it is handled is set out in the privacy policy.

Yes. Resumes and cover letters export as PDF, DOCX or Markdown, named the way recruiters expect with your name first.

Every version also carries a short three-character code so you can tell near-identical documents apart at a glance.
