Great service to save time while interviewing. I have been using it for a week. The support is nice and turnaround is within 24 hours. Price point maybe on the expensive side, but you pay for the time it saves to create accounts on several sites and apply jobs.

Dear Fellow Job Seeker,
I hope this letter finds you well, though I understand if it doesn't. The current job market, especially in the US, is tough. I've been there – a recent graduate from Carnegie Mellon, suddenly laid off and thrust into one of the most stressful phases of my life.
We're told that the key to landing a job is networking and applying to hundreds of positions. But let's be honest: endlessly typing the same information into countless applications is soul-crushing. And the silence that follows? Even more so. With a 98% non-response rate, it's a wonder any of us can stay motivated.
I tried everything – auto-filling extensions, AI services, you name it. Nothing worked. In desperation, I hired a college student from India and trained them to apply on my behalf. The result? I landed a job in just 60 days.
This experience was a revelation. I realized that while we can't change the system, we can be smarter in how we navigate it. That's why I started this service – to help others like us escape the job hunt trauma.
We're not just another job application service. We're a team that understands your struggles firsthand. We're here to take the burden off your shoulders, so you can focus on what truly matters – preparing for interviews and building meaningful connections.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, know that you're not alone. And more importantly, know that there's hope. Let us help you regain control of your job search and your future.
Wishing you the very best in your journey,
Ready to transform your job search?
