Build your career story once. Career Backstory rates your fit for every posting against your real background, tailors your resume and cover letter, helps you apply, prepares you for each interview, and tracks every application to the offer.
Most job seekers rewrite their story from scratch for every application. Career Backstory asks for it once, then carries it through every step: finding the right roles, applying, interviewing, following up, and staying ready for the next one.
Guided prompts, free-form writing, or an interview-style flow turn your experience into a library you own: every role, win, skill and tool, organized and ranked.
A fit rating and gap analysis for every posting, grounded in your actual background. A Boolean search builder for job boards, and Career Direction to show where your experience points.
A resume and cover letter for each job, in five ready formats or one you design, plus help answering the application's own questions.
Prep for each interview. Drafts of your follow-up after applying, your thank-you after each interview, and your reply to an offer: accept, negotiate or decline. You review and send.
A timeline for each one, reminders when a follow-up is due, insights on which roles turn into interviews, and reports you can export for your weekly work-search log.
Keep adding new roles, certifications, awards and volunteer work, so your next search starts ready instead of starting over.
Career Backstory uses AI embeddings to understand what a posting is actually asking for, then surfaces the parts of your background that genuinely fit — even when the wording doesn't match exactly.
Ten career situations, from a first job to a career change, a return to work, or late career, each shaping what your resume leads with. Served in the military? Translate your military job into civilian terms, free and with no sign-up.
Fit assessments and gap analysis are checked against what you've actually done, not guessed at from posting text alone — so the narrative holds up when you're asked about it.
One straightforward ladder — no persona tiers, no surprise caps. Every plan counts two things: the jobs you analyze and the resumes you build. The cover letter, application guide and interview prep for each job are included.
