Question 1

What is JP Arc?

Accepted Answer

JP Arc is an all-in-one AI-powered career platform that helps job seekers land their dream jobs faster. It includes AI resume analysis and optimization, cover letter generation, interview preparation, LinkedIn profile optimization, job search aggregation, application tracking, networking CRM, and a professional portfolio builder — all in one place.

Question 2

How do I create an account?

Accepted Answer

Click "Get Started Free" on the homepage or go to the signup page. You can register with your email and password, or sign in instantly with Google. No credit card required — you get full access to all features on the free plan.

Question 3

Is JP Arc really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The free plan gives you 20 AI calls per month with access to every feature: resume analysis, cover letters, interview prep, LinkedIn optimization, job search, application tracker, networking CRM, and portfolio builder. Upgrade to Pro for 500 AI calls/month when you need more.

Question 4

What browsers and devices are supported?

Accepted Answer

JP Arc works on all modern browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — on both desktop and mobile. The interface is fully responsive, so you can manage your job search from any device. We recommend using the latest browser version for the best experience.

Question 5

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. JP Arc is a web application — just visit the site and log in. We also offer an optional Chrome Extension that automatically saves job listings as you browse job boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor, but it's not required.

Question 6

How does the AI resume analysis work?

Accepted Answer

Upload your resume (PDF or paste text) and our AI scores it across multiple dimensions: ATS compatibility, keyword optimization, content quality, formatting, and impact. You receive a detailed breakdown with a numeric score and specific improvement suggestions you can action immediately.

Question 7

What is resume optimization?

Accepted Answer

Resume optimization rewrites your resume to better match a specific job description. The AI identifies missing keywords, strengthens weak bullet points with action verbs and metrics, and restructures content for maximum ATS compatibility — while keeping your authentic experience intact.

Question 8

What does 'Rebuild Resume' do?

Accepted Answer

Rebuild creates an entirely new resume from scratch using your existing resume as source material. It's ideal when your current resume needs a complete overhaul — the AI restructures everything into a professional, ATS-optimized format with strong impact statements.

Question 9

What is Deep Tailor?

Accepted Answer

Deep Tailor is our most advanced optimization mode. It performs a thorough analysis of the job description to identify every required skill, qualification, and keyword, then deeply tailors your resume to match — going beyond surface-level keyword insertion to demonstrate genuine alignment.

Question 10

What is Career Pivot mode?

Accepted Answer

Career Pivot is designed for people changing industries or roles. It reframes your existing experience to highlight transferable skills relevant to your target role, repositions your career narrative, and bridges the gap between where you've been and where you want to go.

Question 11

Can the AI add skills or experience I don't have?

Accepted Answer

No. The AI only works with the information you provide. It will never fabricate experience, qualifications, or skills. It optimizes how your real experience is presented — using stronger language, better structure, and relevant keywords from the job description.

Question 12

What format should my resume be in?

Accepted Answer

You can upload a PDF or paste your resume text directly. For best results, use a text-based PDF (not a scanned image). The AI needs to read the actual text content of your resume to analyze and optimize it.

Question 13

What are country-specific resumes?

Accepted Answer

Different countries have different resume conventions. A US resume is typically 1 page with centered headers, while a UK CV is 2 pages with a Personal Statement, and an Australian resume is 2-3 pages with specific sections like Work Rights and Referees. Our country modes generate resumes that follow the exact conventions employers expect in each market.

Question 14

Which countries are supported?

Accepted Answer

We currently support three countries: United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), and Australia (AU). Each has its own formatting rules, section requirements, spelling conventions, and cultural norms built into the AI.

Question 15

How does the US resume format differ?

Accepted Answer

US resumes are typically 1 page with a centered name and contact line, centered section headers, a Professional Summary, Work Experience with metrics-driven bullet points, Core Skills, and Education. They use American English spelling and concise, achievement-focused language.

Question 16

How does the UK CV format differ?

Accepted Answer

UK CVs are typically 2 pages with a Personal Statement, Key Skills in a compact format, Work Experience, and Education & Qualifications. They use British English spelling (e.g., 'organised', 'optimised') and may include sections for driving licence status, notice period, and references.

Question 17

How does the Australian resume format differ?

Accepted Answer

Australian resumes are typically 2-3 pages with a Professional Summary, Key Skills, Professional Experience with detailed achievements, and Education & Qualifications. They use Australian English spelling and may include Work Rights (visa status), Licences, Professional Development, and Referees.

Question 18

Are country-specific resumes ATS friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All country formats are optimized to be highly ATS-friendly. We use clean single-column layouts, standard section headings, proper formatting, and keyword optimization. No tables, columns, graphics, or special characters that could confuse ATS parsers.

Question 19

Can I download country-specific resumes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can download your country-specific resume as a PDF or Word document. US resumes have centered formatting in the PDF, while UK and AU resumes use left-aligned layouts. File names indicate the country (e.g., resume-us-jobpilot.pdf).

Question 20

How does the cover letter generator work?

Accepted Answer

Provide your resume and the job description, and our AI generates a tailored cover letter that highlights your most relevant experience, matches the company's tone, and addresses the specific requirements of the role. Each letter is unique — never templated.

Question 21

Can I customize the cover letter tone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can specify the tone (professional, conversational, confident) and provide additional context like why you're interested in the company or specific achievements you want highlighted. The AI adapts its writing style accordingly.

Question 22

What does interview prep include?

Accepted Answer

Our AI generates tailored interview questions based on the specific job description, including behavioral questions (STAR format), technical questions, situational scenarios, and suggested answers using your resume experience. It also includes tips for each question type.

Question 23

Is there a mock interview feature?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The mock interview simulates a real interview experience with AI-generated questions. You practice answering, and the AI provides feedback on your responses — evaluating relevance, structure, and impact. It helps you identify weak points before the real interview.

Question 24

What is the LinkedIn Optimizer?

Accepted Answer

The LinkedIn Optimizer analyzes your LinkedIn profile (via screenshots) and provides a detailed audit with scoring across key areas: headline, summary, experience, skills, and overall impact. It generates specific improvement suggestions and can rewrite sections for you.

Question 25

How does the networking CRM work?

Accepted Answer

The networking CRM helps you manage professional contacts. You can add contacts manually or from job applications, track interaction history, set follow-up reminders, and categorize contacts by relationship type. It keeps your networking organized and ensures you never lose a valuable connection.

Question 26

Can the AI write outreach messages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AI can generate personalized networking outreach messages, follow-up emails, and LinkedIn connection requests. Provide context about the person and your goal, and the AI crafts a natural, professional message tailored to the situation.

Question 27

How does the job search work?

Accepted Answer

Our job search aggregates listings from multiple sources including LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and remote job boards. You can filter by keywords, location, salary, job type, and experience level. Save interesting jobs to your tracker with one click.

Question 28

What is the application tracker?

Accepted Answer

The application tracker is a Kanban-style board that lets you track every job application through stages: Saved, Applied, Interview, Offer, and Rejected. Add notes, deadlines, contact information, and documents to each application. Never lose track of where you stand.

Question 29

Can I save jobs from external sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Chrome Extension lets you save job listings directly from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and 40+ other job boards with one click. It automatically captures the job title, company, location, salary, and description — no copy-pasting needed.

Question 30

Does the tracker send reminders?

Accepted Answer

The tracker shows upcoming deadlines and interview dates on your dashboard. You can set custom dates for each application and see at a glance which applications need attention. Email reminders for follow-ups are planned for a future update.

Question 31

What is the portfolio builder?

Accepted Answer

The portfolio builder creates a professional online portfolio showcasing your work, skills, and experience. Choose from multiple templates, add projects with descriptions and links, and share a public URL with recruiters and hiring managers.

Question 32

Can I use a custom domain?

Accepted Answer

Currently, portfolios are hosted on a JP Arc subdomain (e.g., jobpilotai.co/p/your-name). Custom domain support is planned for a future update. You can share your portfolio link anywhere — LinkedIn, email signatures, or your resume.

Question 33

What templates are available?

Accepted Answer

We offer multiple professionally designed portfolio templates with different layouts and styles. Each template is fully responsive and optimized for both desktop and mobile viewing. You can switch templates anytime without losing your content.

Question 34

What plans are available?

Accepted Answer

We offer two plans: Free (20 AI calls/month, all features included) and Pro (500 AI calls/month, all features included). Both plans have access to every feature — the only difference is the number of AI calls. There are no feature gates.

Question 35

What counts as an AI call?

Accepted Answer

Each AI-powered action counts as one call: analyzing a resume, optimizing a resume, generating a cover letter, preparing interview questions, optimizing LinkedIn content, generating outreach messages, or creating country-specific resumes. Browsing, saving jobs, tracking applications, managing contacts, and building your portfolio do NOT count.

Question 36

How do I upgrade to Pro?

Accepted Answer

Go to Dashboard → Settings → Billing tab and click "Upgrade to Pro". You can choose monthly or annual billing (save 20% with annual). Payment is processed securely through Stripe. Your AI call limit increases immediately upon upgrade.

Question 37

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel your Pro subscription at any time from the billing portal. You'll retain Pro access until the end of your current billing period — no prorating, no cancellation fees. You can always re-subscribe later.

Question 38

When does my AI usage reset?

Accepted Answer

Your monthly AI call count resets on the same day each month (the anniversary of when you signed up or upgraded). You can see your exact reset date and remaining calls in Dashboard → Settings → Usage tab.

Question 39

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

All payments are non-refundable. You can cancel your subscription at any time and retain access until the end of your current billing period. Our free tier gives you full access to every feature so you can evaluate the platform before subscribing. For billing issues, email support@jobpilotai.co.

Question 40

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) processed through Stripe. Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified — the highest level of payment security. We never store your card details on our servers.

Question 41

How is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

We use TLS encryption for all data in transit, bcrypt for password hashing, and JWT for secure sessions. Your data is stored in an encrypted database with SOC 2 certified infrastructure. We implement rate limiting, CAPTCHA protection, and comprehensive audit logging.

Question 42

Is my resume data stored after AI processing?

Accepted Answer

Resume text uploaded for AI analysis is processed ephemerally — it is NOT stored permanently after the request completes. AI results (the generated output) are saved to your history so you can reference them later, and you can delete your history at any time.

Question 43

Do you sell my data to third parties?

Accepted Answer

No. We never sell, share, or trade your personal data with third parties for marketing or any other purpose. Your data is used exclusively to provide JP Arc services to you. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Question 44

Can I export all my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Account tab and click "Download My Data" in the Data & Privacy section. This exports everything — your profile, resumes, applications, contacts, cover letters, portfolio, and AI history — as a JSON file you can keep.

Question 45

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Go to Dashboard → Settings → Account tab → Danger Zone and click "Delete My Account". Your account is deactivated immediately, and all personal data is permanently deleted after a 30-day recovery window. If you change your mind within 30 days, contact us to restore it.

Question 46

Do you comply with GDPR and privacy laws?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We comply with GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and the Australian Privacy Act. You have the right to access, export, rectify, and delete your data at any time. We only use essential cookies — no tracking cookies. Our full privacy practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy.

Question 47

Is two-factor authentication available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in Dashboard → Settings → Security. We support TOTP-based authenticators (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.). 2FA adds an extra layer of protection even if your password is compromised.

Question 48

What does the Chrome Extension do?

Accepted Answer

The JP Arc Chrome Extension automatically detects job listings on supported sites and lets you save them to your application tracker with one click. It captures job title, company, location, salary, description, and required skills — no manual entry needed.

Question 49

Which job sites does it support?

Accepted Answer

The extension works on 40+ job sites including LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster, ZipRecruiter, AngelList, We Work Remotely, Remote.co, and many more. We're constantly adding support for additional job boards.

Question 50

Is the extension free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Chrome Extension is completely free for all JP Arc users, including free plan members. It's an optional tool to enhance your job search workflow.

Question 51

Accepted Answer

Visit the Chrome Web Store and search for "JP Arc" or follow the install link from your dashboard. Click "Add to Chrome" and sign in with your JP Arc account. The extension icon will appear in your browser toolbar.

Question 52

Does JP Arc have employer features?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer an employer portal where companies can post roles, manage candidate pipelines, communicate with applicants, and collaborate as a hiring team. Employers get a dedicated dashboard with application management and team tools.

Question 53

Can organizations manage team accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Organizations can create a team workspace, invite members, and manage AI usage across the team. Organization admins can sponsor Pro access for team members, view usage stats, and export data.

Question 54

How do candidates apply to posted roles?

Accepted Answer

Candidates can discover and apply to roles directly through the JP Arc platform. Employers receive applications in their pipeline dashboard, where they can review resumes, track candidates through stages, and communicate with applicants.

Question 55

I'm getting a rate limit error.

Accepted Answer

To prevent abuse, we limit requests to 6 per minute and 40 per hour. Wait a moment and try again. If you're consistently hitting limits, space out your requests or upgrade to Pro for a higher monthly allowance (the per-minute/hour burst limits remain the same).

Question 56

My AI response seems slow or timed out.

Accepted Answer

AI processing typically takes 3-15 seconds depending on complexity. If responses are consistently slow, try refreshing the page. Our AI has a 60-second timeout with automatic retries. If the issue persists, it may be a temporary capacity issue — try again in a few minutes.

Question 57

I forgot my password.

Accepted Answer

Click "Forgot Password" on the login page and enter your email. You'll receive a password reset link valid for 1 hour. If you signed up with Google, use the "Sign in with Google" button instead — no password needed.

Question 58

The resume upload isn't working.

Accepted Answer

We accept PDF files up to 5MB. Make sure your PDF isn't password-protected or scanned-image-only (we need readable text content). If issues persist, try copying and pasting your resume text directly into the text input field.

Question 59

My AI results look different from what I expected.

Accepted Answer

AI outputs can vary between generations. If a result doesn't match your expectations, try regenerating — each generation may emphasize different aspects. You can also provide more specific instructions in the job description or notes field to guide the AI.
