About Career Signals

Details on the what and how of our mode of operation.

Purpose

Career Signals exists to help you build a comprehensive career persona—a living representation of your professional story, philosophy, and vision. We help you go beyond the resume to understand yourself deeply and take strategic career action.

When navigating your career, there's a dizzying amount of tools promising to help. Resume builders, LinkedIn optimizers, ATS hacks. If those work for you, use them. But if you're tired of reducing yourself to keywords and bullet points, and you want something more human, Career Signals is here to help.

We don't offer resume templates or formatting tricks to game applicant tracking systems. Instead, you work with AI to uncover patterns and narratives you didn't know existed. Your insights belong to you—export your persona to markdown, use it for LinkedIn, networking, or personal branding.

Values

No Tracking

We do not track user or visitor behavior. Your privacy is paramount.

No Data Sales

We never sell any user or visitor data. Your information stays yours.

No Ads

Your career journey is not an advertising opportunity. We will never show ads.

No Notifications

We don't believe in constantly asking you to come back. Use this tool on your own timeline, when you're ready to reflect, prepare for interviews, or explore new career paths.

No Dark Patterns

No manipulative UI tricks to keep you scrolling. No engagement metrics that don't serve you. Just straightforward tools to help you think clearly about your career.

No Gimmicks

We build something we'd use ourselves. Clean, honest, useful. If a feature doesn't help you understand yourself better or take meaningful career action, we don't build it.

How It Works

1. Upload Your Resume

Start with your existing resume. We parse it instantly and use it as the foundation for your career persona.

2. AI-Powered Interview

Have conversations with AI to unpack your journey, values, and the story behind your career. The AI helps you discover patterns and narratives you didn't know existed.

3. Build Your Persona

Create a comprehensive persona: your professional story, philosophy, impact, and vision. Export it anywhere—LinkedIn, networking, personal branding.

4. Tailor for Opportunities

Use your persona to generate tailored resumes and cover letters for specific job opportunities, all while staying true to your authentic story.

Privacy & Data

Data Ownership

Your data belongs to you. You can export your persona, conversation history, and all associated data at any time in markdown format.

Third-Parties

We have a strong commitment to never share any user data with third-parties. The only necessary exception is our authentication provider (for account login) and our AI service provider (for processing your interviews). We do not use your data for training AI models or any other purpose beyond providing you with the service.

Encryption

All user passwords are stored in hashed form. We support and require encryption in transit via TLS. All data centers we use maintain industry-standard security certifications.

Infrastructure

Service Availability

We provide the Career Signals service on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We take uptime seriously and aim to provide a reliable service, but we do not offer service-level agreements during the beta period.

Backups

We maintain regular backups of our database. However, during the beta period, we recommend users export their data regularly as an additional safeguard.

Open Source

Career Signals is built using open source technologies. We are committed to transparency and may open source parts of our codebase in the future.

Contact and Support

Have questions, feedback, or need support? We'd love to hear from you.
