Free while you apply

Check your CV against any job ad, free. Get coached the day an interview is booked.

How it works

How Beacon follows your job search, from the CV check to the interview.

Three things, in the order a search happens.

Check the job ad

Paste it beside your CV. In about ten seconds you see which requirements your CV shows and which it does not.
Track every application

Each check lands in your tracker. Mark it applied, and add the interview when it comes.
Prepare for that interview

Beacon builds a prep plan for the round: what the job ad asks that your CV does not show yet, what your last practice missed, and the claims you will need to defend.

The prep plan

One plan per interview, built from that job ad and your CV.

At most ten items, each with the reason it is there. With Coach, each also says how ready you are.

A lesson per itemWhat they are testing, how to answer, an example from your CV, and the follow-ups to expect.
Practice that marks youEach answer is marked out of ten on four things, normally beside an excellent answer to compare with.
After each interviewTell Beacon what they asked and what was hard. Your next plan carries what was hard.

Practice

Every answer marked on the same four things.

So you can see exactly what would raise the mark, not just the number.

Answers the question asked In this example answer
A specific example of something you did What would raise it
A figure on the outcome What would raise it
A trade-off or a limitation In this example answer

Example: a 6/10 answer with two of the four. Questions are in the job ad’s language when it is English, Romanian or Hungarian, and otherwise in English.

Tailored CVs

A CV for each job ad, without a single invented line.

For each job ad Beacon rewrites your summary and puts the skills it asks for first. Your experience lines stay as you wrote them, and what the job ad wants and you cannot show is named, not written in.

The tracker

Twenty to a hundred applications, in one list.

Interviews first, then offers, then what you applied to, with one next step per job. The interview tomorrow is never buried under the jobs you only saved.

Questions

Before you start

Is it really free while I apply?

Yes. Checking, tailoring, tracking and one short practice per job ad are free with an account, for as many jobs as you like.

What does Coach add?

Every prep plan in full, for every job: a lesson for each item and the plan’s practice. Your CVs also come without the Beacon line.

Does the tailored CV make things up?

No. It rewrites your summary and puts the skills the job ad asks for first, from what your CV shows. It never rewords your experience lines, and what it cannot show is named, not written in.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time on Your plan. Coach stops renewing and stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
