What is a job run, and how do revisions work?

A job run produces the complete output: a cover letter in your own voice, a prioritised list of CV changes with the reasoning for each, an ATS screening naming what you match and what you don’t, and candid positioning advice for that role. It costs one job run credit. A revision is separate: it updates an application you’ve already generated with your feedback folded in, and produces that same complete output again. Every pack bundles in a handful of free revisions (not part of your job run credits, and not tied to any one job), so spend them on whichever applications need another pass.

Capturing jobs is free and always has been; what costs money is generating the application. So you can build your shortlist first and spend runs only on the jobs you’re serious about.

02 / Prepare for the conversation

Interview pack

Explore interview practice

For when the application worked and the interview is booked: practice interviews built from your CV against that job: follow-up questions that react to what you actually say, and honest feedback with no scores. Each pack covers one job (15 practice sessions plus one final mock, all aimed at that role), and sessions belong to that pack, separate from job run credits. How interview practice works →

You may not need this yet. Job runs are what you use to apply; the interview pack is for after you’ve been shortlisted. Each pack covers one job, so there is nothing to gain by buying one before you know which job it is for. Buy the runs now and come back for the interview pack when you have an interview booked.

Interview pack

$39.99 founding price, $49.99 after

Walk in having already answered the hard questions out loud.

  • 15 practice sessions, plus one final mock, taken once, when you say you're ready
  • Questions come from your CV and the job ad, including the ones you’d rather not be asked, practised honestly, never coached to bluff
  • Practise by typing, or out loud: your speech is transcribed on your own device and never leaves it (that needs a one-time model download, at least ~900 MB, in your browser; check if your browser supports it)
  • Bound to one job, not one session; no fixed expiry while your account stays active, and nothing renews

What the price pays for

A high-capability model writes your letter, and a separate check reads it before you do. Inventing experience you don’t have is the failure that matters most in an application, a claim you cannot stand behind at interview, so catching invention is what the pipeline is built around.

Every generation is also checked before you see it by a second, separate model call. A claim your own documents don’t support is dropped, or the letter is rewritten until it holds, and if it still doesn’t, the generation fails rather than reaching you, and the credit goes back. That check is a model reading a model, so it is not infallible; what we can promise is which way it errs. Separately, before any change to how Rolebird writes goes live, it is graded by a second, independent model against nine criteria with hard floors on invention. The method is published, including how the ATS screening in particular is tested.

Get your CV ready

You strip your CV and base cover letter of personal details before uploading (name, contact details, address, referee names, ID numbers, and links to personal profiles) and generalise your employers (“Xero, 2019–2022” becomes “a NZ fintech, 2019–2022”). We check every upload, but the check is not the same thing everywhere: contact details, ID and bank numbers, an address or a profile link block the upload; a likely name, referees or a driver licence are flagged for you to fix or accept. Employer names and dates aren’t detected at all, which is why the generalising above is yours to do. See the full list.

Runs wait on your account, so buying before you’ve done that costs you nothing but a few minutes of order, unlike a trial clock, which is one reason we stopped selling one.

Refunds and leftovers

Unused runs sit on your account until you use them. Buying a pack you don’t get around to using isn’t on its own a refund. If a generation fails on our side you get the credit back automatically, so a failed run never costs you one. And if we didn’t deliver what we promised, get in touch. We’ll look into it and put it right, refund included where the fault is ours. Everything you generate stays available whether or not you buy again. See the Terms for the detail, including what happens to a balance on an account left unused for a year.
