Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know about how shouldIApply works — and where it's honest about its limits.

Is this free?

Yes — you get 3 free scans to try it out. It's a tool built to help people decide where to spend their job-search energy.

Do you store my resume?

No. Your resume and the job description are sent to the AI to generate your result and are not saved on our servers. Each scan stands alone.

How accurate is the score?

It's a strong directional guide. No tool can run your resume through an employer's actual ATS — they're private. This uses AI to estimate fit and surface missing keywords, which helps you decide whether to apply and what to fix.

What does 'callback realism' mean?

It's an honest read on your odds of getting called — Strong, Moderate, or Stretch — based on how well you fit the role. We don't fake a precise percentage, because real callback odds also depend on competition and referrals, which no tool can see. We'll always tell you that honestly.

I'm switching careers — can this help?

Yes. If you're moving into a different kind of role, the tool gives you an honest bridge: which of your real experiences to emphasize, a realistic path to qualify, and roles you're a stronger fit for right now. It won't pretend you're qualified when you're not — but it shows you the strongest honest case you can make.

I'm on my phone and can't copy the job text — what do I do?

Just screenshot the job posting and upload the image. The tool reads the job description straight from the screenshot, so you don't have to fight with copy-paste on LinkedIn or Indeed.

Why isn't my score higher after rewriting?

The rewrite truthfully integrates keywords to raise your score — but it won't invent experience you don't have. If a real gap (like a required domain) caps it below 90, the tool tells you honestly, and whether it's still worth applying.

Will this guarantee I get the job?

No — it helps you apply smarter: skip poor fits, strengthen strong ones, and avoid getting filtered out by keyword screens. The interview is still up to you.

How do I get an access code?

While we're in beta, scanning is free with an access code. If you don't have one, use the 'Request one free' option when you go to scan, and we'll email you a code.
