The “No CV Required” Update 🎙️
🎙️ 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.
