Frequently asked questions

Does JobPhantom optimize my resume for ATS systems?

Yes. JobPhantom reads the job description and rewrites your resume to match its keywords, requirements, and language. Your resume is tailored to each specific role, not just reformatted.

Does JobPhantom rewrite my entire resume or just parts of it?

JobPhantom rewrites the relevant sections — primarily your summary and experience bullets — to reflect the specific job's requirements. Your core credentials, education, and contact information remain unchanged.

Will my tailored resume still sound like I wrote it?

Yes. JobPhantom learns your communication style from a short onboarding quiz and uses that profile to ensure every tailored resume, cover letter, and answer reflects your actual voice.

Does JobPhantom write a cover letter for every application?

Yes. Every application package includes a cover letter written in your voice, tailored to the specific role and company. It is generated alongside the resume when you click the extension.

How does JobPhantom make the cover letter sound like me?

During onboarding you complete a short voice profile quiz. You describe how you communicate in a few professional scenarios. JobPhantom builds a style model from your answers and applies it to every cover letter it generates.

Can I edit the cover letter before submitting?

Yes, always. You review the cover letter and every other output before anything is submitted. Nothing is sent without your approval.

What are custom application questions?

Custom application questions are the free-text fields on job applications beyond your name and resume — for example, "Why do you want to work here?", "Describe your experience with enterprise customers," or "What's your approach to managing escalations?" They appear on most applications and take significant time to answer well.

Can JobPhantom answer any custom question, or just common ones?

JobPhantom reads the actual question from the application form, cross-references it with your resume and voice profile, and generates a specific answer. It is not limited to pre-set questions — it handles whatever the employer asks.

How does JobPhantom know what to say about my experience?

Your uploaded resume serves as the factual foundation. JobPhantom draws on your listed experience, skills, and accomplishments to generate answers that are accurate to your background. It does not fabricate credentials.

What is the JobPhantom voice profile?

The voice profile is a short onboarding quiz that captures how you naturally communicate professionally — your tone, sentence style, formality level, and personality. JobPhantom uses this profile to generate outputs that sound like you wrote them, not like a generic AI template.

How long does the voice profile quiz take?

Approximately 3 to 5 minutes. You answer a small number of questions about how you would respond in professional scenarios. You only do this once.

Can I update my voice profile later?

Yes. You can retake or update your voice profile at any time in your account settings.

Which job boards does JobPhantom work on?

JobPhantom works on any website that has a job listing — LinkedIn, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Indeed, and any other job board. The extension reads the job description from any page.

Does JobPhantom work on company career pages, not just major job boards?

Yes. Because it is a browser extension that reads page content, it works on any career site — including directly on a company's own careers page.

Does JobPhantom automatically submit applications?

No. JobPhantom never submits anything without your review and approval. You see the tailored resume, cover letter, and question answers before anything is sent. You are always in control.

Does JobPhantom store my resume?

Your resume is stored in your JobPhantom account to power tailoring for future applications. See the Privacy Policy for full details on how data is stored and used.

Is my data used to train AI models?

JobPhantom does not use your data to train AI models. For information on how Anthropic handles data processed through their API, see the Anthropic privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy.

Does JobPhantom track which jobs I've applied to?

Yes. JobPhantom includes an application history dashboard where you can see every application you have prepared, the role, the company, and when you applied.

Can I see which version of my resume I sent to each job?

Yes. Because JobPhantom generates a tailored resume for each application, your dashboard preserves which version was prepared for which role.

Is JobPhantom an auto-apply bot?

No. JobPhantom is a quality-first application assistant. It prepares your application materials — resume, cover letter, and custom question answers — but you review and approve everything before it is submitted. It is designed for people who value quality over volume.

How is JobPhantom different from tools that auto-apply to hundreds of jobs?

Auto-apply tools submit applications in bulk without tailoring them to the specific role. JobPhantom does the opposite: it creates a highly tailored, complete application package for each job you choose to apply to, in your voice, reviewed by you. The goal is better applications, not more applications.

How is JobPhantom different from just using ChatGPT?

When you use ChatGPT for job applications, you have to copy the job description, write a detailed prompt, manage context, and repeat this for every application and every question. JobPhantom integrates directly into your browser, reads the job description and application form automatically, knows your resume and voice profile, and handles all of it in one click. The output is consistent across every question in an application and across every application in your search.
