Jobjakt Product Vision

Overview

Jobjakt is a career management workspace designed to help people successfully navigate the modern job search.

The application combines job tracking, career management, AI assistance, and document generation into one connected experience.

The primary goal is to help users move from:

Finding opportunities

Applying effectively

Managing applications

Improving their chances

Securing employment


Long-Term Vision

Jobjakt should become the user's personal career operating system.

Instead of storing job applications in spreadsheets, CVs in random folders, and career information across multiple platforms, users maintain one central workspace.

The application understands:

  • Their career history.
  • Their skills.
  • Their experience.
  • Their goals.
  • Their applications.

It then helps transform this information into useful career outputs.


Product Positioning

Jobjakt is not:

  • A simple job board.
  • A basic Kanban board.
  • Only a CV generator.
  • Only an AI writing assistant.

Jobjakt is:

A career workspace that helps users manage the entire job application lifecycle.


Core Product Pillars

1. Job Tracking

The foundation of the product.

Users should be able to:

  • Store opportunities.
  • Track applications.
  • Manage stages.
  • Record communication.
  • Schedule follow-ups.
  • Understand their job search progress.

2. Career Workspace

A supporting system built around one professional identity.

Users maintain:

  • Career profile.
  • Skills.
  • Experience.
  • Education.
  • Projects.
  • Achievements.

This becomes the source for career outputs.


3. AI Assistance

AI should reduce effort.

Examples:

  • Improve CV wording.
  • Analyse job descriptions.
  • Suggest improvements.
  • Generate cover letters.
  • Prepare interviews.

AI should assist, not replace user control.


4. Document Generation

Users should easily create:

  • CVs.
  • Tailored CVs.
