The Truth About Career Platforms

They weren't built for brains like yours.

LinkedIn. Indeed. BetterUp. They're designed for people who can "just apply to more jobs." Here's why that advice keeps failing you.

Sound familiar?

"Just apply to more jobs"

You've sent 100 applications. Got 3 responses. Your brain physically cannot force itself to do #101. And they think you're not trying hard enough?

"Download our app!"

Another app you'll forget exists in 3 days. Another notification badge you'll ignore. Out of sight, out of mind — literally how your brain works.

"Schedule a video call"

The anxiety starts 3 hours before. You rehearse what you'll say. You're exhausted before it even begins. And they call this "support"?

We come to you

No app to remember. No login to forget. We show up in your email — where you already are — so you never have to "remember" to job search.

We remember everything

ChatGPT forgets you every time. We remember your patterns, your wins, your triggers — forever. Your history isn't lost when you close the tab.

Dopamine on demand

Other tools reward you after you finish. Your brain needs dopamine to START. We give you micro-wins for initiating — not just completing.

"I tried LinkedIn Premium, Indeed Premium, and two different ADHD coaches before finding JobCoffin. The email-only approach finally worked for my brain. No more forgotten apps or dreaded video calls."
