What's New

💼 Work for Yourself, Not Just for an Employer

Freelances, consultants, interim and fractional executives have been using JobMentis sideways for a while: the same career, the same stories, pointed at a client instead of a hiring manager. Everything was there except the words for it.

There is now a work mode on your profile, and when you set it to independent a few things appear. You write what you sell: a positioning line and up to six offers. Your wins become case studies, a new kind of story with the client on it. And from those, JobMentis writes a pitch for one client at a time, as a one-pager plus the outreach messages to go with it.

• You choose the proof, not us. JobMentis ranks your stories against the client you are pitching and shows its reason for each, then you tick what goes in. It is a ranking you can argue with rather than a judgment you cannot see.
• A client you anonymised stays anonymised. If you recorded a case study as “a Swiss insurer” rather than by name, that name never reaches the model that writes your pitch. Not as an instruction in a prompt: the name is removed from the text before it leaves.
• It tells you where the proof is thin. Above the pitch you get “Evidence for 3 of 4 likely needs”, the stories behind each one, and a link to write the story that is missing. Any figure JobMentis cannot find in your own material is underlined rather than quietly kept.
• Take it anywhere. A pitch exports as a PDF, and your offers, case studies and pitches all copy out as Markdown or plain text, for your own notes or your own assistant.
• An import brings them too. If you move your setup across from ChatGPT or Claude, your offers and case studies travel with it.

🧩 The Browser Extension, Now in Beta

JobMentis now works on the pages where the job search actually happens. The extension puts the relevant part of your account into a side panel on LinkedIn and on application forms: the fit on a posting you are looking at, the stories and answers you already wrote, your tracked jobs marked in the search results, and your notes on a person whose profile you have open.

It is in beta rather than on the Chrome Web Store, so it is invite-only for now. If you want to try it, message us on LinkedIn and we will send you the build and set you up.

📅 One Calendar for the Whole Search

Your search had dates in four places: interviews in the tracker, follow-ups on contacts, sessions with your coach, and tasks with deadlines. There is now one calendar that shows all of them, as an agenda for the next two weeks, a week view, or a month.

You can also connect Google or Microsoft, read-only, so the rest of your week sits alongside it and you can see what you are actually free for.

• We only read, never write. JobMentis does not create, move or delete anything in your calendar, and the permission is asked when you connect rather than at sign-up.
• By default you only see the events that belong to your search, meaning the ones with someone from JobMentis in them. If you would rather see your whole week in context, there is a switch for all events, per connection.
• Everything on it is clickable. An interview or a task opens where you work on it; anything synced from Google or Microsoft opens in their calendar.

👥 Bring Your Contacts In

Connecting Google or Microsoft also brings your contacts, so the people you already know can go into your Networking Tracker without being retyped one at a time. You pick who comes in; nothing is added behind your back, and a contact you already have here is not duplicated.

🔗 Book With Your Own Tools

Coaches scheduling through cal.com or Zoom no longer have to send a link by hand. Both now connect to JobMentis, so a session booked in your own tool shows up where your client and you already look, and the meeting draft that follows knows it happened.

🎓 Run a Programme as a Cohort

Coaches running a group programme have been doing the scheduling by hand: who starts when, which week is open, who is behind. A cohort is now a real thing in JobMentis: a dated run of one of your programmes, with one Day 1 for everyone in it.

Each week opens on its own date, in the cohort’s timezone, at the hour you chose. Or you keep manual delivery and send each week yourself.

• Line people up before anyone is invited. Add addresses to a cohort and nothing is sent and no seat is spent. JobMentis tells you which ones already have an account and which are already your clients, which catches “they signed up with a different email” before the invitation goes to an inbox they never open.
• See one member’s whole run before it starts. Pick a date they accept on and the preview walks their programme end to end: the welcome, every week, the CV checkpoints, the surveys, the targets.
• Up to four scored CV checkpoints, group targets for the cohort, survey rounds, and messages that go out weekly or as one-offs, each with a preview of what the client will see.
• Free until Day 1, then full access. Someone who accepts early gets the welcome, the questionnaire and their first tasks straight away, and their paid access starts when Week 1 opens rather than burning while they wait.

🗂️ Stories You Can Merge, and Take With You

A tester typed her STAR stories in one at a time from her coach’s spreadsheet, then found she had written the same story twice from two angles. There was no way to put them back together.

• Merge two stories into one. You see the draft before it replaces anything, and a merged case study keeps its client.
• Copy any story as Markdown, every field, for pasting into your own notes or your own AI project.
• A braindump keeps every box. Dumping a messy story in no longer loses the parts that did not fit the template it picked.

✅ Next Steps, Rebuilt Around Tonight

The to-do feed had everything in it and no opinion about any of it. It now leads with what is worth doing tonight, and lets you cut it the way you actually think.

• Group by area, topic, priority or who it came from, and sort by when it is due.
• Due dates, and a reply to your coach. You can comment on a task a coach set you without leaving the list.
• Your own tasks and weekly goals. Add what your coach did not, and share it with them if you want to. Duplicate one instead of starting from scratch.

🇨🇭 Swiss CVs, and Pay in Your Own Currency

Two things that were quietly wrong for anyone not job-hunting in the United States.

• The Salary Benchmark follows your market. A Swiss senior role reads in CHF. A Belgian one no longer falls back to dollars. Your own target salary now sits next to the market band instead of on another screen.
• A Swiss CV template, built from the layout a Swiss coaching practice actually sends clients.
• German across interview prep. Mock interviews and the question bank now read properly in German, reviewed rather than machine-translated.

🤝 For Coaches

Several things from coaching calls, in the order they were asked for.

• Clients write their check-in before the call. Wins, challenges and where they need support, in JobMentis, visible to you when you open them. Previously there was nowhere to put it.
• Your acceptance count is yours. The console was counting accounts linked to the wrong instance, which read as “4 of 6 never accepted” when it was not true.
• Activate a coach in one step. Setting up a new coach took five separate actions and a welcome email you could not confirm had gone. It is now one modal, and the email says what to do when there are no seats yet.

🔒 What We Hold, in Plain Words

Career Memory is the page that shows what JobMentis has on file about you, which makes it the natural place to explain the data policy rather than a separate legal page nobody opens. It and the AI transparency page now link to each other, and Career Memory opens by saying what it is.

The import that brings your existing ChatGPT or Claude setup across was built but hard to find, which is its own kind of broken. It now shows up in onboarding and in Career Memory.

🧹 Smaller Fixes Worth Naming

• “I never did this” now removes the claim. Reject something in a CV rewrite and a whole bullet is cut, while a single false clause has just its sentence rewritten without it, including any wording that only followed from it.
• A renewal that was never paid no longer grants another month. Stripe moves a subscription into its next period about an hour before it charges the card, and we were treating that as payment. A declined card now keeps what it already had.
• Pin the sidebar open, and dismiss the onboarding checklist from it.
• The back button names the page it goes back to, instead of reading “Back to Back to app”.
• 2,078 companies and 108,000+ interview questions across 23 industries and 18 roles.

📥 Bring the Setup You Already Have

Plenty of people arrive already running their job search inside ChatGPT or Claude: a long thread that knows their roles, their stories, the rules they have taught it, the people they have spoken to. Starting here used to mean typing all of that in again, so most people did not.

Now you can bring it. Ask your assistant for an export, paste it in, and we read it into a review screen. If what you paste has no structure at all, we read your plain text instead, and every line we pull out is labelled as coming from your text rather than presented as fact.

• Nothing is saved until you tick it. The review screen is the whole point: you see every role, story, rule and contact we found, and you choose what comes in. What you already have here always wins.
• It notices when your assistant was cut off. Long exports get truncated mid-answer, so we check what arrived against the count your assistant said it was sending, and tell you when something is missing rather than importing half your career quietly.
• Your coach can prepare it for you. A coach can bring a spreadsheet of your material and map the columns, but it still lands on your review screen, and you are the one who confirms it.

🎯 A Fit Score That Knows What You Want

The fit score told you how well your CV matched a posting, using one fixed idea of what counts. But people are not all optimising for the same thing. Someone changing career cares most about direction and will trade experience for it. Someone who needs to be working again by March cares about exactly the opposite. One set of weights cannot be right for both.

• You can set what matters to you. Move the weight onto skills, experience, evidence or career direction, and add the salary you are aiming at. Setting your own weights is part of Pro; everyone gets the recommended ones, and there is always a way back to them.
• Every score updates at once. Change a weight and the app tells you how many fit scores just changed. Nothing is re-run and nothing is re-read: we are re-weighing judgements we already made, so it is instant.
• What we think of your CV against the posting never moves. Only the importance you attached to each part. Your weights change your score, not our reading of you.

And pay can no longer buy a good verdict. Salary used to fold into one overall number, so a job that paid brilliantly could pull an otherwise poor match up, and a badly paid good match down. Pay is now kept out of the judgement and reported as what it is: a pay gap shows up as a pay reason. A role that pays wonderfully and is wrong for you still reads as wrong for you, which is the only version of this worth having.

We also read the seniority the posting itself is hiring for, in any language, rather than guessing from a job title. So when we tell you the level does not match your experience, that is a claim about the role and not about the words in its heading.

📄 Proof Your CV Never Mentioned

Your last performance review probably contains the best evidence you have: a number, a piece of praise, a project outcome that never made it onto your CV. Until now there was nowhere to put it, and because it was nowhere, our own checks treated it as an unsupported claim if you wrote it down.

Paste or upload a performance review, 360 feedback, a project closure report, an award or a client testimonial, and we pull out what it actually says about your work. You keep, edit or discard each line. Only what you keep becomes part of your Career Memory, and it arrives labelled with where it came from, so a true figure your CV never stated can finally survive the claim check.

🚫 “That One Is Not True”

You could already confirm that a flagged claim was true. There was no way to say the opposite. Now you can mark a line as not true, and it goes, with the only promise that matters: no draft will say it again. It is the difference between correcting a document and correcting what we believe about you.

🎤 The Pitch Builder, Rebuilt

One screen now instead of picking a pitch and then editing it somewhere else: your versions along the top, the editor in the middle with a length and spoken-time meter, and “Make it stronger” beside it. Saving a new version, switching between them and renaming them all work again, which is an odd thing to announce until you know they had quietly become unreachable in the old screen.

Every draft now reads your Career Memory: your identity work, your goals, your stories, what you have confirmed as true and what you have marked as not. Before, the first draft of a pitch read little more than your job list, which is why it could contradict a story you had written the same morning.

🎨 CVs That Look Designed

A tester told us our CV templates “still look like Word, circa 2010”. They were right, and it was on purpose.

A CV has two readers, and they want opposite things. When you apply through a careers site or a job board, software reads it first. It works through every line in order, and it needs one clean column with your name at the top. Anything clever in the layout risks it misreading your career. For that reader, plain is correct. But when you email a CV directly, get referred, follow up after a networking chat or bring a copy to the interview, a person reads it first. To a person, that same plain column looks like a document nobody designed.

Until now we only built for the first reader. Our gallery even said “All templates are ATS compliant”. That was true, and it was the problem. So the gallery now has two groups, and each one says when to use it:

• Built for ATS. For careers sites and job boards. It keeps the parser-safe layout but takes typography seriously, with five new designs: Meridian, Ledger, Atelier, Folio and Zürich.
• Designed for people. For direct emails, referrals and the interview table. These three are laid out from scratch rather than restyled. Signal runs your details down a full-height colour rail and puts your work on a timeline. Monograph is set like a book, with a drop cap and dates in a wide margin. Raster is a Swiss poster, with a very large name and a strict grid.

It should be hard to send the wrong one to the wrong reader. Designs for people carry a “For people” tag and are marked as not optimised when we know the job goes through an ATS. We never recommend one. And their Word download is always a plain layout any parser can read, so even a slip does not cost you the application.

• A recommendation that says why. Almost every CV ever made here used the same template, because it was the default and nobody chose it. Now the picker suggests a design based on what we know about the application and tells you the reason. An older enterprise hiring system gets the most conservative layout, because being read at all matters more than looking good. A long career gets Ledger, and a direct application in Europe gets Atelier.
• The picker shows your own CV in every design, set in your font and colour. What you see on the card is the page that prints.
• You choose the font, the accent colour and how tightly it is set, and every accent colour is checked for legibility so the text stays readable.
• Eight designs take an optional photo, placed where each design wants it. You can add, change or remove it right on the CV.

We also retired twelve old templates that were really one design in different colours. If your CV used one of them, it still opens and exports exactly as before.

🇨🇭 Applying in Switzerland?

A CV is not the same document everywhere. A Swiss recruiter looks for things a British or American one never asks about: a photo, a proper level for every language you claim, at least one national language, references, and where you stand on a work permit. Nothing in the product told you any of that. We found a real CV built on our Zürich design with languages written as “fluent”, no German anywhere, and no references.

So when you are working on a design made for Switzerland, or applying from there, the editor offers a check. It stays one quiet line until you open it.

• It only gives a verdict where it can actually check. Photo on or off, a real level or “native” for every language, whether you list a national language, whether you have references. For the things your CV has no field for, like your permit, the work certificates a Swiss dossier is expected to include, or the two-to-three page norm, it gives you the tip and leaves the judgement to you. Guessing your permit from free text would tick a box that might not be true.
• It says when German is missing, because most roles around Zurich, Basel and Bern ask for it.
• Every check ends in a link that takes you to the fix. It scrolls to that part of your CV, flashes it, and puts the cursor where you need to type. If the section is hidden or does not exist yet, it opens or adds it first, so the link never leaves you somewhere empty.
• A new personal details line sits under your contact details, for your permit status. In Germany the same line is where availability or a driving licence goes. There was nowhere to put this before, so people were adding it to their location field, which quietly confused the salary estimate and the region banner that read that field. No AI rewrite ever touches this line: what you type stays exactly as you typed it.
• And the privacy check still applies to it. Type “Nationality:” there and it gets flagged if you are applying to the UK or the US. The same detail that is expected in Zurich is one you may not want to send to London, and only you can decide that.

🗂️ Your Foundation, and One Place per Application

A job search produces two different kinds of work. There is the foundation: your master CV, your stories, who you are. And there are the applications, each with its own tailored CV, cover letter, questions and notes. They used to sit in one pile. Now they are separate.

Your CV library splits your master CV and base versions from the CVs tailored for specific jobs, grouped by the job each one was made for. Every job you track also gets its own workspace, with everything for that application on one screen, and opening a job from anywhere takes you straight there. The sidebar follows the same split. If you preferred the old one, you can switch back.

📖 Stories, in the Shape You Were Taught

STAR is not the only way to tell a work story, and it is not what every coach teaches. Your Story Bank now speaks five: STAR, SOAR, CARL, CAR and PAR. You pick one per story and the editor shows those boxes, with the names you already use.

CAR and PAR are the same three boxes under two vocabularies, and we kept both on purpose. If your coach taught you PAR, you were taught to start with the Problem, and being shown a box labelled “Challenge” is exactly the small friction this is meant to remove. Each method also has its own page explaining how it works and when it suits.

And a story can now be improved rather than just written. The editor asks a few questions about the parts that are thin, usually the ones where the result is vague or your own role is hard to see. Answer what you can, press Update my story, and you get a proposed rewrite:

• Nothing changes until you accept it. You see before and after for each part, and you can keep your own version of any piece you prefer.
• It can only use what you gave it. No invented numbers, names, dates or outcomes. If a figure appears in the rewrite that is nowhere in your story or your answers, it is caught before it reaches you.
• Vague answers do not get embellished. Where an answer does not really say anything new, it keeps your original wording rather than inventing something more impressive.
• Three updates per story per day, and an attempt that fails or times out does not count against them. Your answers are saved either way.

🎯 Weekly Goals From Your Coach

If you work with a coach, you can now set weekly goals together: jobs saved, applications, new contacts, conversations and LinkedIn posts. They sit on your dashboard as “This week’s goals from your coach”, and the week runs Monday to Sunday.

They fill in by themselves. Save a job, apply, add a contact, log a conversation or publish a post, and the count goes up. There is nothing to report back. Your coach sees the same week and gets a heads-up if things go quiet. Your next session can start from what actually happened, not from what either of you remembers.

🔒 Privacy, and Proof That the AI Is Fair

People put health conditions, religion, union membership and family details into CVs and stories without ever being asked for them. Some of it an employer is not allowed to ask about at all. We spent this month on how we handle that, and on proving it rather than promising it.

• A “before you send” check in the CV editor. It is the advice a good coach would give. Your date of birth, a religious or union role, or your photo are things an employer may not ask about. The editor lists anything like that on your CV, points to the line, and removes it in one click if you would rather it did not go out.
• A line wherever you hand over your own words, saying plainly what happens to them: uploading or pasting a CV, the audit bench, First CV including the voice interview, a new story, a coach questionnaire. One quiet line, with a link to the whole explanation.
• You are asked, not assumed. There is now an explicit consent for this kind of detail when you sign up, and a one-time notice for everyone who already had an account. Our privacy policy has been rewritten to cover it, in every language we support rather than English with translations bolted on.
• Date of birth, marital status and nationality no longer reach our AI. A lot of European CVs open with exactly those three lines. We already kept your contact details out of every prompt. Now these stay out too, in all six languages.
• A protected characteristic is never used, in either direction. Every prompt that reads your words now carries one rule: something you disclosed cannot drive a score, a gap, a piece of advice, or a strength. Being counted in your favour is still being counted.

And we test that, instead of asserting it. There are 48 test CVs across six languages. Each one is identical to a control except for a single line, disclosing something the way people actually write it: a parish, a union mandate, a board seat at a Rainbow Network, parental leave, a date of birth, a disability. They run through the real scoring, not a copy of it. The test fails if a score moves further than the normal run-to-run variation, or if the advice mentions the disclosure when the control’s advice does not.

It caught a real one. An Italian CV that mentioned using a screen reader had it listed under the candidate’s strengths, as evidence of a “strong technical product background”. Our rule at the time forbade counting a disclosure against you and said nothing about counting it for you, and a positive use is still a use. We fixed the rule, and the whole set now passes in all six languages.

• A plain page on what our AI sees, where it runs, and what it never does, including the result of that fairness test and the date it last ran. It is linked from the footer and from every box where you type something personal, so it is there when you need it rather than buried in a policy.
• Your voice practice is no longer used to train anyone’s models. Our voice partner had model training switched on for our account. We switched it off on 18 September. That covers everything recorded from that date on, and we would rather tell you that plainly than claim it never happened.

🎟️ A 7-Day All-Access Pass

Job searches do not run at a constant speed. Most of the work happens in bursts: an interview lands on Tuesday, and by the weekend you need a tailored CV, a cover letter, the company’s real questions and a rehearsal, all at once.

So there is now a pass for exactly that week. €12.99 / $16.99 / £9.99 buys seven days of everything Pro has. One payment, no subscription, nothing to remember to cancel. When the week is up it simply ends.

💳 Six and Twelve Months Are Now Single Payments

The longer plans used to be subscriptions, which meant signing up for something that would quietly renew long after your search had ended. That was never the right shape for a product people use hard for three months and then hopefully never need again.

They are now bought outright. One charge, a fixed amount of access, and no recurring anything:

• 7 days for €12.99, the new pass above.
• 6 months for €139.90, paid once.
• 12 months for €199, paid once. That works out at about €16.58 a month, and it is still not a subscription.

Monthly is the only plan that still renews, which is the one case where renewing is the point. Everything else you buy, use and forget about. If you are already on a longer subscription, nothing changes for you until it ends.

🏢 Two Thousand Companies

The interview library passed 2,000 companies this week, with 105,000+ real questions across 23 industries and 18 roles. It grows because people tell us which company they are interviewing at next, so if yours is missing, ask for it and it goes in the queue.

📊 How Your Applications End

You have been feeding the tracker for months. It has never once told you what it learned. That changes now: your closed applications get read back to you as a pattern instead of a list.

• Where they end. Applied, interviewed, offers, and which stage most of yours actually stop at. If you are losing everything at the first screen, that is a different problem from losing at the final round, and you should not have to guess which one you have.
• How long an answer takes. Your median, from your own dated applications. Plus the number who said nothing at all, and the number who sent a form letter that says nothing about you. Both are worth naming, because both feel like your fault and neither is.
• How many postings were pulled while you waited. Not silence, not rejection. The role stopped existing and nobody wrote to tell you.
• Did our own fit score predict anything? Your results, split by what we scored the job before you applied. If there is no relationship, it says so in those words. We would rather show you that than quietly grade our own homework.

All of it is counted from your own tracker, and nothing is presented as a reason an employer gave unless they are actually quoted. Paste a rejection letter into a job’s Application tab and Pro will read across them for themes; the counts are yours either way.

🤝 Warm Intros, Written For You

Asking someone to introduce you is the highest-yield move in networking and the one everybody puts off, because the message is genuinely awkward to write. So we write it.

Pick who can make the introduction, pick who you want to reach, and the request is drafted from what we already know about both. It asks for advice and an introduction, never a job, which is the version people actually say yes to.

👔 Executive Interview Prep

The interview library topped out below the executive floor. It now covers CFO, COO, CTO, CMO, CRO, CHRO and general executive roles, taking it to 18 roles across 1,960+ companies.

Every question in the library is also tagged by framework now, so you can filter a company’s bank down to the kind of question you came for instead of scrolling the whole thing.

🎨 A New Look

New typeface, warmer neutrals, a palette that finally behaves the same everywhere, and proper dark surfaces. Mostly you should not notice it, which is the point. If something reads worse than it did last week, tell us, because that is a bug and not a taste difference.

👻 Ghost Job Detector

Around one in five job postings is never filled. You have felt this: the role that stays up for four months, the application that vanishes, the recruiter who never had a seat to fill. Until now you had no way to tell those apart from a real vacancy before spending an hour on the application.

Paste a job link or the description and we check it. Where we can, we go and read the employer’s own careers board to see whether the role is actually still listed there. Then we show you every signal that fired, with the exact words that triggered it, and score it low, elevated or high risk. Free, no sign-up.

Three things we were careful about, because this is the kind of tool that is easy to do badly:

• It never calls an employer dishonest. It reports patterns and risk signals, never a verdict on a company. Plenty of postings sit in a grey area that has nothing to do with bad faith.
• It tells you what it could not check. Every result ends with the checks that did not run, and each one is something you can do by hand in under a minute. A confident answer built on evidence we never gathered would be worse than no answer.
• A low score is not a promise. It means the posting reads like a real vacancy and does not match the pattern ghost postings make. That is our reading of the evidence we could reach, and we say so rather than pretending to certainty we do not have.

There are two new guides alongside it: how ghost jobs work, and how to spot them on LinkedIn specifically.

🔔 We Now Notice When a Posting Comes Down

The same machinery watches the jobs already in your tracker. If a posting disappears from the employer’s board, or quietly gets reposted, you hear about it. A posting that silently goes away is the single most useful thing anyone can tell you while you are still waiting to hear back, and nothing else in your job search can see it.

The wording changes depending on where you are. If you have not interviewed yet, a pulled posting is worth acting on. If you are already several rounds in, it usually just means they have their shortlist, so we say that instead of alarming you.

📹 Video on the Role Interview Guides

All eleven role interview guides now carry a video walkthrough. Reading about how a product management or investment banking loop runs is fine. Watching someone explain it is better.

⚡ The App Got Faster

Less staring at spinners. Returning to the app used to wait on a full round trip before anything could appear, even when we already knew who you were. Now the page paints immediately and checks in the background. We also found a megabyte of interview data being shipped to your browser on pages that only needed a single company name from it, and stopped doing that.

📚 Back Over 100,000 Questions

1,916 companies, 101,091 real interview questions, 23 industries. We passed 100,000 in early August, then deliberately went backwards: a cleanup pass removed duplicates and generic filler that padded the count without helping anyone. This time the number is honest, and every question behind it is one we can actually show you.

🔧 Fixes Worth Naming

• Agency jobs with no named employer can be saved. If a recruiter will not say who the client is, the Save button used to sit there refusing to be clicked, with nothing explaining why. It works now.
• A CV uploaded before signup could end up unreadable. Rare, and thoroughly fixed. If it ever happened to you, re-upload and it will behave.

🎙️ First CV: Start With Nothing

Almost everything in JobMentis has needed one thing first: a CV. Which is a problem if you do not have one, or the one you have is eight years old and you cannot face opening it.

First CV removes that step. Three ways in, and you pick whichever sounds least painful:

• Talk it through. Answer a few questions out loud, about 8 minutes. We listen, structure it, and write the CV for you. Easier than staring at a blank page, and most people say more out loud than they ever type.
• Paste anything. Your LinkedIn profile, an old bio, rough notes. Messy is fine, we sort out the structure. About 2 minutes, free.
• Upload what you have. Already got a CV? Same as before, free.

However you do it, the result becomes your master CV and unlocks the rest of the product. Uploading and pasting stay free, because charging for the only way in would mean gating the product behind the product. The voice version is a small one-off pass.

🏢 What the Employer Says, in Their Own Words

Company pages now link to the employer’s own hiring guide where they publish one, alongside what it says about their interview rounds. Everything else on that page is our read of how a company hires. This part is theirs, and when Amazon or Spotify or Adyen write down how they interview, that is worth more than anything we could model. We would rather point you at it than pretend it does not exist.

🤖 The Concierge Can Point, Not Just Talk

The assistant on our homepage could describe things but never take you there. It can now link you straight to the right page, and it is restricted to pages that genuinely exist, so it cannot confidently send you to a 404. It also recovers now if a conversation fails to start, instead of sitting there looking broken.

📚 The Interview Library Keeps Growing

Now 1,880+ companies and close to 100,000 real interview questions across 23 industries. We also spent part of this month deleting: duplicate and generic questions came out, so the number moved less than the work did. We would rather the library be smaller and true than bigger and padded.

🤝 If You Coach on JobMentis

This part is invisible to most of you, and it is where a lot of our recent work has gone. If you run your practice on JobMentis, your setup got considerably less manual:

• Task packs. Build a list of tasks once, then hand the whole thing to a client in one action instead of typing them out after every session.
• Packs on a schedule. Attach packs to a program and say when each one lands: two weeks in, six weeks in, on a Monday. Your clients get the next thing at the right time without you remembering. Someone already past that point can be caught up too, or not, your call.
• Cohorts. Invite a group in one go, onto one program, sharing one start date. They move through it together instead of drifting apart.
• Duplicate anything. Programs, task packs, questionnaires and tracks all copy with everything attached, and land as a draft so nothing goes live by accident.
• Your public listing. Our coach directory is open, and you can claim your profile, verify it and edit it yourself: photo, languages, how much of your bio shows. Not listed? You can add yourself.

All of it is written up in the coach manual, and more is coming over the next few weeks.

A note on what we are building right now. Much of this release, and much of what lands over the next few weeks, is not a headline feature. It is the quieter work: making the product faster and calmer to use, and deepening the tools that connect coaches and the people they coach. Some of that you will never see, because it only shows up if you work with a coach. We think it is the most valuable thing we can build at this stage, so we would rather tell you plainly than pad the list.

That said, there is plenty visible today.

✍️ Those Awkward Application Questions, Answered PRO

“Why do you want to work here?” “Describe a time you handled conflict.” “What would you do in your first 90 days?” Every application form has them, and they are where most people stall.

Paste the question into any saved job and get a drafted answer built from your actual profile: your real experience, your stories, your WorkFive Workplace DNA. Not a generic template with your name pasted in.

• It remembers. Every answer you write becomes part of your Career Memory, so your next cover letter is written by a system that has already read how you talk about yourself.
• Promote the good ones. Wrote something you are proud of? Send it straight to your Story Bank as a structured STAR story, ready for the interview where they ask the same thing out loud.

🧠 Career Memory: Now 15 Blocks Strong

Career Memory is the shared memory every JobMentis tool reads from, so you never explain yourself twice. It just gained its 15th block: your application answers. The pattern holds: the more you use the product, the more it knows, and the better everything else it writes for you becomes.

🛂 Salary Meets Visa: Migration Corridors

If you are thinking about moving country for work, you have probably hit the same wall we did: one site tells you the salary, another tells you the visa threshold, and nobody puts the two together. So we did.

Every salary page now has a “moving there as a...” companion covering Canada, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore and the UK. You see what the role pays, what the skilled-migration route actually requires, and whether the two meet.

• Every threshold is hand-checked against the government source, with the link and the date we verified it. We do not let AI anywhere near these numbers: a wrong visa figure is not a typo, it is a wasted year.
• Including the bad news. Routes that have closed, occupation lists that exclude your trade. The sites that make money on visa leads will not tell you that. Free, no account needed.

🗂️ Two New Directories: Coaches and Recruiting Agencies

Two open directories, both free and both built to answer a question the rest of the internet is oddly quiet about.

• The Coach Directory. Career coaches you can browse by country, specialty and industry, in several languages. Coaches can claim and manage their own listing, or add themselves if they are not in it yet.
• The Agency Directory. Recruiting agencies, what they specialise in, and where they operate, plus plain-English guides on how the industry actually works. Start with “who do recruiters work for?”, because the answer is not you, and knowing that changes how you handle the call.

💱 Prices in Your Own Currency

Prices now display in euros, dollars or pounds depending on where you are, instead of making you do the conversion in your head. Same product, same value, shown in the money you actually think in.

🎬 Short Videos, at the Right Moment

JobMentis is a big product, and “where do I even start” is a fair reaction. Your Action Center now surfaces short videos in your own language, picked based on what you have actually done so far rather than a fixed tour. Watch them or ignore them: once you have seen them, they stop appearing.

🧭 Guided Paths Are Now “Tracks”

Same guided journeys, clearer name. A Track is a sequence of steps toward one objective: beat the ATS, ace the interview, pivot your career. Nothing about your progress changes, and if you own one, it is exactly where you left it.

🤝 For Coaches and Their Clients

This is the part most of you will not see, and it is where a lot of our energy is going.

If you work with a career coach on JobMentis, the two of you now share more of the same picture: your coach can set goals with you, follow your progress between sessions, and leave notes exactly where the work happens instead of in a separate document you both forget to open. Coaches can shape what their clients see, so the product arrives feeling like their practice rather than a generic tool. Expect more here over the coming weeks.

⚡ Faster, Everywhere

A large chunk of this cycle went into pages loading properly instead of being rebuilt on every visit, a cleaner home page, and a smoother first run. Not glamorous, very noticeable.

🧭 Pathfinder, Reimagined

Pathfinder used to ask for one target company and one target role. That was too rigid. The reworked Pathfinder needs only one thing to start: the role you want. Everything else is optional and shapes the kind of plan you get:

• No target company? You get a Direction path: a route toward the role itself, grounded on your WorkFive Workplace DNA and the skills the role demands. Perfect when you know what you want to do but not where.
• One target company? The classic Targeted path: everything we know about that specific employer, sharpened.
• Up to five target companies? A new Field path: what those companies share, where they diverge, and how to position yourself across the whole set. Free users pick 1, Pro users pick up to 5.

One target, one plan. The role is your north star; the companies just shape the map.

🧠 Meet Career Memory: 14 Blocks and Growing

The thing that has quietly powered every tailored output on JobMentis, your CV bullets, your cover letters, your mock interviews, your Pathfinder paths, now has a name: Career Memory. It's the durable, structured picture we keep of you, built from 14 distinct blocks:

• Attested about you: work history, WorkFive Workplace DNA, career archetype, Story Bank, LinkedIn profile, identity, outcomes, content themes, confirmed facts, and every feedback loop you've completed.
• Learned from your JobMentis usage: recurring interview insights (from real and mock feedback), your live upskill gaps across applications, your Worth compensation profile, and your role's disruption risk. Each carries a clear "AI-derived, from <source>" label, so you always know what came from you versus what we inferred.

And new this release: those blocks now compose into a Master Brief, a short living narrative of who you are professionally, that every AI tool reads from as its opening context. Same shared reality, told as a story rather than a data dump.

You'll see Career Memory called out on your homepage, on the pricing page, and inside the new dashboard. Every session makes it a little richer: another story captured, another fact confirmed, another outcome tracked. The tools get sharper as it grows.

🎛️ A Brand-New Dashboard: Mission Control

Your old dashboard was a launchpad. The new one, Mission Control, is a command center. Built around the actual shape of a job search:

• A universal search bar right at the top. Type"audit my CV,""apply to a job,""who should I network with?","am I paid fairly?", or a company name. It finds the answer.
• Active Missions: your live applications, front and center, with next-best-action nudges beside each one.
• Two clear doors to start something new:"I have a job posting"(paste it, we do the rest) or"No posting yet"(target a company, a role, or a direction).
• Upcoming interviews and resume-your-track pickup, so you never lose the thread between sessions.
• A Career Memory rail down the side, showing exactly what JobMentis currently knows about you and where to fill in the gaps.

📁 Multiple Master CVs, One for Each Career Track

You've probably got more than one story to tell. A Product Manager master. An Engineering Manager master. A consulting master. A pivot master. Until now, JobMentis assumed one canonical CV per user. That's over.

• Hold up to 10 master CVs, one for each career track you're pursuing. Set the default; switch it any time.
• Pathfinder now grounds on a specific master. When you start a new path, pick which version of you it should reason from. Your PM story leads to a PM plan; your Eng Manager story leads to an Eng Manager plan. No blurring.
• Every tailored CV downstream starts from the master you picked, not from a one-size-fits-all baseline.

🎯 Speculative Applications: Track the Jobs You Want

Not every dream job has a live posting. The Tracker now supports speculative applications: pin a company and a role you want, whether they're hiring right now or not. Once you do:

• You unlock an AI Company Study: a written brief on the employer, what they value, how they hire, and how to position yourself before you even reach out.
• When a posting appears, one click promotes it to a real application. No re-typing.
• Or pivot directly into a mock interview at that company, calibrated on the study.

🧠 Confirmed Facts: Teach JobMentis What's True About You

The Groundedness pass sometimes flagged claims that were true but weren't in your uploaded CV."Based in Milan.""Fluent in French.""Reports to the CFO."Before, your only option was Keep anyway, and the same claim got flagged again next time. Now there's a second button: Store in memory. Once stored:

• Future groundedness checks recognise it as verified truth and never flag it again.
• Every downstream writer, from cover letters to Pathfinder to fit scoring, treats it as ground truth going forward.

The more you use JobMentis, the more it knows about you, in a way you fully control.

✍️ Honest CV Headlines

Other AI CV tools quietly rewrite your job title to match the posting. Even if you were a Senior PM, they'll make you a Director because the JD says Director. Not us anymore. The new Headline Picker gives you three explicit options for every role:

• Your actual title (the honest default).
• The posting title (if you want to mirror the JD, we recommend it when the ATS is strict-keyword).
• A bridge phrasing we suggest, connecting the two truthfully.

You pick. Never us behind your back.

📥 Smart Download & Next Steps

The CV download menu now offers PDF, DOCX, and TXT, each with an "ATS-recommended" badge on the format best suited to the target employer's parser. Pick the one we flag, or override us if you have a reason. And the moment you download, a new Next Steps modal walks you through what to do in the next 60 seconds:

• Submit the application.
• Advance its status in the Tracker so it doesn't sit as a stale"planned"row.
• Rehearse: jump straight into a mock interview tuned to that company and role.

🚦 Fit Score: Now Live, Now with a Traffic Light

Adding a job to the Tracker is now a proper experience. A phased progress modal shows the parsing, the enrichment, and the fit calculation happening in real time. The moment it's done, the fit score reveals live, no reload. And every score now carries a plain-language recommendation:

• Apply · Caution · Reconsider traffic-light advisory.
• A seniority note when you're over- or under-titled for the role, so you can make an informed call instead of applying blind.

🔄 Re-check Groundedness Any Time

The Groundedness Panel in the CV editor now has a Re-check button. Made changes since the last audit? Hit it and get a fresh scan of what's grounded, what's confirmed, and what still needs your attention. You don't have to leave the editor or start a new rewrite.

🇩🇪 JobMentis Now Speaks German

Guten Tag! Our biggest language launch of the year: JobMentis is now fully available in German. And when we say fully, we mean fully. Every surface, every tool, every guide:

• The entire app UI, from onboarding to the CV editor to the coach portal.
• The full Interview Hub and Salary Hub catalogs, translated across companies, roles, and prose.
• WorkFive Workplace DNA and archetype copy, in your language.
• Emails, nudges, action center, and every AI-generated document.

And a detail we care about: we address you informally, with du, not the stiff formal Sie. Because job hunting is personal, and your career OS shouldn't sound like a bank letter.

🤖 Claude Skills for Job Hunting

We just published our first Claude Skill for job hunting, and open-sourced the whole thing. If you use Claude, you can now install a job-hunting skill built on the same rigour that powers JobMentis. Head to the new Claude Skills for Job Hunting page to learn how it works, why we're doing it, and how to install it. Career expertise, embedded directly into the AI you already use.

🎯 Tracker: A Real Fit Score for Every Job

Fit scores used to be a single number. We've turned them into a real assessment: every tracked job is now scored across 4 honest dimensions, with a written verdict and a clear list of gaps to close:

• Skills: what the JD asks for versus what your CV proves.
• Experience: whether your past roles line up with what this one needs.
• Story coverage: whether your Story Bank has the STAR ammunition to survive the interview loop.
• Career direction: whether this move actually takes you where you say you want to go.

Click any Fit badge to open the full breakdown: bars for each dimension, strengths listed out, and specific gap chips you can action on the spot.

📊 See the Pattern Across Every Application (PRO)

One missing skill on one job is a coincidence. The same missing skill on eight jobs is a signal. Our new cross-application gap aggregation looks at every job you've tracked and rolls up the gaps into a single view: the recurring skill, experience, and story shortfalls that are actually blocking you. Fix them once, and dozens of applications suddenly get easier. PRO users can now see the shape of their real job-hunting bottleneck, not just symptom by symptom.

✅ Groundedness: We Fact-Check Ourselves

AI writing tools have a trust problem: they quietly change your numbers, invent claims, or crank up the enthusiasm. We just shipped a groundedness review pass on every CV rewrite and cover letter that catches all three:

• Number integrity: if you said"73%,"it stays 73%. Never"over 70%,"never"roughly three-quarters."A deterministic diff auto-reverts any figure the AI mutated.
• Unsourced claims: new"facts"the AI invented on your behalf are flagged for you to keep, correct, or delete.
• Invented enthusiasm:"passionate,""world-class,"and other adjectives you never said get called out before they ship.

The point: what leaves JobMentis with your name on it is grounded in what you actually did, not what the AI wished you had done.

💼 Salary Negotiation: The 5th Guided Path

You've run the interviews. You have an offer in hand. Now what? Our brand-new fifth Guided Path, Salary Negotiation, walks you through every step between"offer received"and"signed for more."Built on the Worth compensation benchmark, it turns the numbers on your offer into a real negotiation plan tuned to your role, your market, and the leverage you actually have. Available AI-only, or with an Expert coach in your corner for the highest-stakes conversations.

📈 LinkedIn 2026: The Rules Have Changed

LinkedIn quietly rewired its ranking model this year (the"360Brew"era), and content that landed well in 2025 no longer reaches the same audience in 2026. Two brand-new guides break down what actually gets seen now:

• LinkedIn Algorithm Guide: what the new model rewards, what it kills, and why your reach may have quietly dropped.
• LinkedIn Content Strategy: how to structure posts, comments, and cadence to actually build audience under the new rules.

And we didn't just document the change. We rebuilt the writing rules inside our LinkedIn Optimizer and Content Engine to match, so what we produce for you is what actually gets seen.

🏢 Missing a Company? Ask for It

We now decode 1,000+ employers, but there's always one more you care about. When you search the Interview Hub for a company we don't yet cover, a new "Request coverage" chip lets you tell us in one click: "This is the company I care about." Your ask goes straight into our content pipeline and directly shapes what we prioritise next. The more searches for a name, the faster it lands.

✍️ CV Editor: Now Default, Now Sharper

The visual editor we launched last week is now the default experience on every CV. No more form on the left, preview on the right. You edit directly on a real-looking page, exactly as recruiters will see it: sentences, spacing, layout, page breaks, all in one place. And under the hood, a stack of quality-of-life upgrades:

• Rock-solid PDF & DOCX exports: we rebuilt the download pipeline for reliability. Whichever format the target ATS prefers, the file comes out clean, parseable, and pixel-tight.
• Smoother section reordering: drag Experience above Education, or slide Skills into a sidebar, and the page reflows in real time without a jump.
• More polish, less friction: better autosave, cleaner keyboard shortcuts, sharper typography, calmer transitions. The kind of upgrades you feel more than you see.

The classic split-view editor stays available as a fallback if you prefer it, but the visual editor is now the canonical experience.

🎨 Four New CV Templates

Your CV is the first impression. We've added four new templates to the library so it looks like you, not like everyone else:

• Merlot Executive: serif type with deep burgundy accents, centered and refined. For senior candidates who want their CV to feel like a boardroom, not a job application.
• Compact Pro: tighter type, tighter spacing, zero wasted white space. Built for experienced candidates who need to fit a full career onto one page without shrinking down to unreadable microprint.
• Coastal Teal: cool teal accents, generous spacing, a modern and calm feel. Great fit for design, product, or wellness roles where the CV should feel human first, corporate second.
• Aubergine Modern: rich plum accents on a clean, contemporary sans-serif. Distinctive without shouting. A confident, tasteful choice for candidates who want to stand out without being loud.

🎓 Coaching Packs, Sold Separately

Our AI + Human Expert tiers bundle coaching into a full Guided Path. But sometimes you just want the human support on its own, without a whole workflow attached. So we've added Coaching Packs as standalone add-ons on the Objectives screen. Buy just the sessions, use them however you want, whenever you need them.

✍️ A Brand-New CV Editor

We rebuilt the CV editor from the ground up. Everything is faster, cleaner, and finally usable on the device you actually carry around:

• Mobile-friendly: edit your CV from your phone — touch targets, layout, preview, all sized for the small screen.
• Faster edits: snappier typing, snappier saves, snappier rewrites. Less waiting, more shipping.
• Live page split: see exactly where page 1 ends and page 2 begins, in real time — so you stop guessing whether that last bullet is bleeding onto a second page.
• Highlight Mode (new): instantly surface which keywords from the job description are already in your CV, which are missing, and which bullets are doing the heavy lifting. Tailoring becomes a visual exercise, not a guessing game.

🛤️ Guided Path Tracks — Now With Expert Human Support

Our Guided Paths already string the right tools into the right order for one specific objective. Now every paid track ships in two flavours — AI-only for self-directed users, and AI + Human Expert for when you want a real coach in your corner. Three tracks, three concrete outcomes:

• Targeted Application — Beat the ATS. Outcome: a CV and cover letter tailored to one specific role, ATS-optimised for that employer's parser, ready to send. The fastest path from"I saw this job posting"to"I just applied with the right document."
• Interview Prep — Ace the Interview. Outcome: a full prep dossier on the company, their interview process, the exact questions you're likely to face, and a Story Bank of STAR answers you can deliver under pressure. Walk in knowing what's coming.
• Career Pivot — Change Tracks. Outcome: a Pathfinder-driven route from where you are to where you want to land — stepping-stone roles, the people you need to meet, and the stories you need to build. The deepest track, for the biggest move.

And the free Career Base Camp path is still there for anyone who wants to explore before committing.

🔎 Universal Search — Find Anything, Anywhere

Hit ⌘K from anywhere in the app and find what you need in one keystroke. We've now expanded the index well beyond features and pages — Universal Search now spans:

• Company Intelligence: jump straight to any of our 1,000+ decoded employers — their values, interview process, ATS, and questions.
• Your reports: find any career report, audit, or analysis you've ever generated, instantly.
• Your CVs: every tailored version, named, dated, one keystroke away.

Plus the tracked jobs, stories, contacts, and interviews already in there. One palette, your entire job search.

🎁 A More Generous Free Tier

We're giving free users more room to actually use the platform without hitting a wall:

• Unlimited Application Tracker: track as many roles as you want, free forever. No cap, no nag.
• 10 Free Story Bank slots: enough to capture the core STAR stories that power your CV, LinkedIn, and interview prep — at zero cost.

🧭 Pathfinder: From Where You Are to Where You Want to Land

Pick a target company and a target role. Pathfinder turns it into an actionable route — not vague advice, not a"career roadmap"PDF. A specific plan tuned to your WorkFive DNA, work history, Story Bank, and the company you're aiming at:

• Gap analysis: the honest list of skills, experiences, and signals you're missing — and the ones you already have but aren't selling.
• Stepping-stone roles: up to 3 intermediate jobs that realistically bridge you to the target — because sometimes the straight line isn't the right line.
• People to meet: up to 8 networking personas — the kind of person, the role they're in, and a ready-made LinkedIn search to find them. One click sends them straight into Outreach as a target group.
• Stories to build: up to 8 STAR prompts pinpointing the exact stories you should be crafting before you walk into this interview. Sent straight into your Story Bank with a click.

Pathfinder is wired into the rest of JobMentis end-to-end: Tracker (link a tracked job to a path), Outreach (people you should be talking to), Story Bank (stories you should be telling). It's the most opinionated thing we've built — and it's free to try (3 paths) before you go Pro (10).

🏢 1,000+ Top Employers Decoded

We just crossed the 1,000-company mark in our employer database. Every one is decoded across the dimensions that actually matter when you apply — what they value, how they interview, which ATS sits between you and the recruiter, and the questions you're most likely to face. From household names to the quiet European champions, odds are the company you're targeting is already in there.

💰 Worth: Your Live Compensation Benchmark

Brand new tool, and it might be the most actionable thing we've shipped. Worth pulls your work history, role, location, and current package — base, bonus, equity, benefits — and gives you a live compensation benchmark grounded in global salary data:

• Full distribution: see where you sit at the p25, p50, p75, and p90 for your role in your market — not a single fuzzy"average."
• Per-experience benchmarking: got two roles, two employers, two cities? Benchmark each independently. The same job in Milan, Berlin, or London is not the same number.
• Negotiation narrative: a written brief, tuned to your CV, that tells you what to ask for and how to justify it when the offer lands.

📨 Outreach: LinkedIn Lead Gen, Run By You

Tracking jobs is half the battle. The other half is reaching the right humans inside the right companies. Our new Outreach module turns LinkedIn into a real prospecting workspace — and crucially, you run every message by hand in your own browser. No automation, no risk to your account.

• Target Groups: build saved LinkedIn searches by title, location, industry, current/past employer, and school. Paste an existing LinkedIn URL and we'll decode it into an editable group — or hit"I'm feeling lucky"to generate one straight from your profile.
• Sequences: reusable, personalised message templates with merge tokens like {{firstName}} — so the connection request, the follow-up, and the value-add all sound like you, not like a bot.
• Wired into the Tracker: tracked a role? Outreach surfaces the people you should actually be talking to at that company.

🎤 50,000 Interview Questions

Our Interview Questions Bank has officially crossed 50,000 real questions — more than double what we shipped a month ago. Same coverage promise: sourced, deduplicated, tagged by role, round, and competency, and available across 5 languages and 11 role types. Whatever job you're prepping for, we almost certainly have the question.

🧬 Career Archetypes: Your Professional Identity, Named

We've launched a brand-new Career Archetype system, built on top of the WorkFive taxonomy. We read your CV, score it across 30 professional facets, and match you to the archetype that best captures how you actually work — Strategist, Builder, Connector, Operator, and dozens more. You'll see your archetype show up in:

• Your account page and dashboard, so you always know which lens we're applying.
• Your Full Report and interview hub, where it informs which roles we think you'd actually thrive in — not just qualify for.
• Your nudges and emails, now written in your language and tuned to the way your archetype tends to make career moves.

✨ LinkedIn Optimizer: Style & Personality Controls

Your LinkedIn shouldn't sound like everyone else's. Two new controls put you in the driver's seat of the optimizer:

• Writing Style: pick the tone you want — punchy and confident, warm and human, formal and precise — and we rewrite your About and headline to match.
• Personality Source: choose what gets infused — your WorkFive Workplace DNA, your Story Bank, both, or neither. You decide how much of you shows up.

🎤 Mock Interviews: Sharper Company Intel

Mock interviews keep getting closer to the real thing. Three upgrades under the hood:

• A new AI context layer packs everything we know about you into every session — efficiently, without losing nuance.
• Sharper company intelligence means questions and follow-ups now reflect how this specific employer actually interviews, not a generic template.
• A new role resolver aligns the session with the actual job family on the JD — so a"Product Manager"mock at a fintech isn't the same as one at a B2B SaaS company.

🛡️ ATS Intelligence, Wired Into Everything

Our ATS and company intelligence guides aren't standalone reading anymore - they're now embedded directly into your Application Tracker and CV Editor. Every CV you tailor optimizes for four things at once:

• You: your WorkFive Workplace DNA, work history, and Story Bank.
• The role: the exact job description and competencies it demands.
• The company: what this employer actually values and how they interview.
• The ATS: the specific parser standing between you and the recruiter - Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, and more.

And when you hit download, we pick the right format (DOCX vs PDF, single vs two-column) for that ATS family - so your CV makes it through the parser intact and lands in front of a human.

✍️ CV Editor: Smart Remaster

The CV Editor is more refined than ever. Sentences read like a human wrote them - natural, specific, recruiter-ready - instead of the buzzword soup you get from generic AI rewriters. And we've added a brand-new Smart Remaster for bullet points: a guided rewrite that

• Highlights the weak spots in your bullet - missing scope, vague verbs, no outcome.
• Asks the right questions to pull out the details only you know - the metric, the constraint, the impact.
• Rewrites it into a powerful sentence that proves the impact instead of just claiming it.

🎤 Question Bank: 23,000+ Questions, 440+ Companies

Our Interview Questions Bank just grew up. We now cover 23,000+ real interview questions across 440+ companies, spanning 11 role types and fully available in 5 languages. Whether you're a Product Manager in Berlin, a Software Engineer in Madrid, or a Data Scientist in Athens, your prep matches your role, your target, and the language you actually interview in.

🛡️ ATS Guides: The First 12 Companies, Decoded

Before a human ever reads your CV, an Applicant Tracking System - Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, SuccessFactors, iCIMS - decides whether it makes the cut. And every major employer's setup behaves differently. We've launched our first 12 ATS Guides, each one a deep dive into how a specific company's stack actually parses, scores, and ranks your application. You'll learn exactly which fields matter, which formatting tricks backfire (looking at you, two-column PDFs), and how to tailor your CV to the inner workings of that ATS. More companies rolling out every week.

🎤 Interview Questions Bank: 300 Companies, 16,000+ Real Questions

Walk into any interview already knowing what's likely to come up. Our new Interview Questions Bank covers 300 companies and 16,000+ real interview questions - sourced, deduplicated, and tagged by role, round, and competency.

• Public pages: open, company-by-company question explorers - great for early research and figuring out which firms align with the way you interview best.
• Private pages: signed-in deeper views with role-specific filtering, sample answer frameworks, and direct links back to your Story Bank so you can map your own stories to the questions you're most likely to face.

🧠 Mock Interviews That Actually Sound Like You

Mock interviews now ingest everything we know about you and the role: your WorkFive Workplace DNA, your full work history, your Story Bank, the exact job description, and our latest company intelligence for the employer you're targeting. The result is a session calibrated to this role at this company - questions and follow-ups that mirror what their real interviewers ask, and feedback that already knows your strengths instead of guessing.

🧬 WorkFive, Everywhere It Matters

Your WorkFive Workplace DNA is no longer a standalone report - it's now the personality engine behind the tools you use every day. We've infused it directly into three flagship experiences so every output sounds unmistakably like you:

• LinkedIn Profile Optimizer: headlines and About sections now lean into your core drivers and working style, not generic buzzwords.
• CV Writing: bullet points are reframed around the strengths your DNA profile highlights, so recruiters see the version of you that actually wins the role.
• Interview Training: mock questions and feedback now account for how you think, decide, and communicate - no more one-size-fits-all coaching.

📘 The Full Report Is Here

Our most comprehensive career analysis has officially landed. The Full Report pulls together your career history, WorkFive DNA, and Story Bank into a single long-form deep dive: where you are, where you could realistically go next, and the specific moves that get you there. It runs in the background while you keep working - we'll tell you the moment it's ready.

📖 Story Bank, Promoted

Your career stories are the rawest, most personal material we have to work with - so we moved the Story Bank out of the sidebar and made it a top-level feature. It's faster to find, richer to use, and now includes:

• Voice Braindump: hit record and just talk. We'll turn your stream of thought into a clean, structured STAR story - perfect for when typing feels like friction.
• Better Guidance: inline prompts help you pull out the right details - the stakes, your specific actions, the measurable outcome - so every story pulls its weight in an interview.
• Skills Checklist: see at a glance which competencies your stories already prove - and which gaps to fill before your next interview round.

The more stories you log, the more personal everything else becomes: your CV, your LinkedIn, your mock interviews, your Full Report. This is the feature that makes JobMentis truly yours.
