Frequently Asked Questions

How the platform works, what data powers it, and how organizations get started.

How It Works

For job seekers, students, and anyone exploring their next career move.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT starts from zero every time. FYJ loads your full background on day one and remembers everything across sessions. It matches you to roles using O*NET, BLS labor data, and real job postings. Resumes are tailored to each specific role. Interview prep is company-specific. It’s a career system built around you, not a chatbot.

What do I need to get started?

Just your resume or a quick description of your experience. The platform maps your skills across 900+ occupations, identifies transferable strengths, and surfaces roles that match. Most people go from upload to first matches in under ten minutes.

How are job matches chosen?

Matches come from O*NET profiles, BLS wage data, real employer postings, and your specific skills. Each role is scored on skills fit, experience alignment, education match, and industry relevance. You see the reasoning behind every match, not just a list of titles.

What kind of career support does it provide?

Explore career paths. Get matched to roles based on real market demand. Build resumes tailored to each role from your actual experience. Prep for interviews with company-specific research and talking points. Map your skills across industries. Each step builds on the last.

Is my data private?

Encrypted at rest and in transit. No employer can see your profile, session history, or match results. Never shared with third parties. Never used to train AI models. You can export or delete everything at any time.

For Organizations

For career centers, outplacement firms, and staffing agencies.

How long does setup take?

Does this replace our existing tools?

It works alongside them. FYJ complements Handshake, 12Twenty, Symplicity, and your existing platforms. Students and clients get a unified experience. Your team keeps their tools while getting deeper insight into what students are exploring and where they need support.

Can it be white-labeled for our organization?

Yes. Your logo, your colors, your domain. Students and clients see your brand throughout the experience. Custom landing pages, branded emails, and organization-specific content are all included.

How is student and client data protected?

Encrypted at rest and in transit. Built with FERPA guidelines in mind. Your organization owns all data. Users can export or delete their information at any time. SOC 2 Type II certification expected Q3 2026.

How does this improve outcomes?

AI handles the time-intensive work between coaching sessions: role research, resume building, skills mapping, and interview prep. Your team focuses on high-value advising instead of logistics. Students engage on their own time, often outside office hours, and arrive at appointments with clearer goals.
