User Guide

A practical guide to building applications, preparing interviews, practicing answers, and improving over time.

First application

Start with an Application Workspace.

Add the target job, resume, and the materials you already have. You can refine the workspace as the application progresses.

The connected workflow

Complete your foundation, then use three application stages

Career Foundation is reusable setup. Each job application then moves through Build, Prepare and Practice, and Improve and Take Action.

Keep every target job, verified fit assessment, selected resume, and supporting document inside its own application workspace.

How to build one application workspace
  1. Complete or update the reusable Career Foundation.
  2. Create or select the target role in Job Applications.
  3. Optionally add Supporting Files only when you have extra documents specific to the application.
  4. Use Application Review to confirm experience, review fit, and select the resume used for that application.
  5. Save the workspace before starting interview preparation.
Application-specific preparation

Prepare and Practice

Use AI to organize evidence and practice—not to provide hidden answers during a real employer interview.

Interview Preparation

Research the company and role, identify likely questions, and retrieve verified evidence for concise answer planning.

Open Interview Preparation →

Adaptive Mock Interview

Choose an interview format and question count. The AI interviewer records and transcribes each answer, evaluates its evidence, challenges vague claims, and asks an adaptive follow-up.

Open Mock Interview →

Practice workflow

Use Interview Preparation before the interview, Mock Interview for practice, and Interview Review for evidence-grounded coaching afterward.

Browser-based practice

Adaptive Mock Interview runs directly in the browser. No desktop recorder is required for the supported practice workflow.

Turn practice into measurable progress

Improve and Take Action

Review one mock interview in detail, then track improvement across the full application portfolio.

Interview Review

Review the transcript, answer analysis, strengths, improvement areas, and coaching for one mock interview.

Open Interview Review →

Interview Scorecard

Evaluate answer relevance, supporting evidence, structure, clarity, and delivery.

Career Action Plan

Track resume changes, practice needs, applications, recruiter follow-ups, priorities, due dates, and completion.

Open Career Action Plan →

Progress & Outcomes

Review application outcomes, resume alignment gains, automatic interview readiness, mock-interview improvement, and completed actions.

Current scope and planned additions

Communication, calendar, and application extras

The current release tracks upcoming interview dates, application follow-up dates, custom next steps, interview-preparation actions, and post-interview thank-you actions. It does not yet provide a recruiter-message history, communication drafting, calendar synchronization, or cover-letter workflow.

Planned secondary-feature sequence
  1. Communication log attached to an application.
  2. Thank-you and follow-up message templates.
  3. Recruiter-response drafting.
  4. Optional calendar synchronization.
  5. Cover-letter generation.
  6. Advanced application analytics.

These additions remain secondary to the core application, resume, interview, and Career Action Plan workflows.

Common problems

Open a question for the most likely solution.

My mock-interview answer will not record

Use a current desktop version of Chrome or Edge, allow microphone access when prompted, and confirm that another application is not already using the microphone.

My practice session is missing from Interview Review

Complete the selected number of questions, choose Generate interview review, and keep the page open until the review-ready confirmation appears. A discarded session is not added to Interview Review.

Career Evidence Library did not find an example

Confirm that the evidence was uploaded, the correct application workspace is selected, and the search scope includes the intended source. Try a shorter, more specific question.

The Interview Scorecard evaluated the wrong content

Adaptive Mock Interview reviews automatically grade the candidate answers rather than the AI interviewer prompts. Contact support if a review appears to analyze the wrong speaker.

An improvement action is not visible

Clear Career Action Plan filters and check the Closed view. Owner, application, due date, priority, status, and search filters can change what is displayed.

Use recording for authorized practice

Record only mock-interview sessions you are authorized to capture. Review sensitive transcript content before reusing it.
