About

Cybersecurity & IT governance advisor (Trusted-Aide, Singapore/APAC) tired of what's broken in job search: Recruiters screen with AI-powered ATS in seconds. Job seekers fight back with hours of manual tailoring — an unfair fight, and most qualified applicants never get seen. Applications pile up, interviews get messy to track, offers slip through the cracks. Most "AI career tools" burn tokens, charge per application, or quietly harvest your data. I built CareerPocket AI to level the field: AI-tailored resumes & cover letters at scale, grounded in your real experience — never invented. Private by design. Bring your own AI key, or run free locally, so you control the cost. First product, built solo, priced to help. Please share with anyone job hunting right now.

Hours before launch, my job-search tool stopped working. Here's what I fixed.

Hey Everyone!

Launching today, and a few hours before, my AI stopped working. Here's what I learned.

A few hours before launch, cover letters started silently failing. Not the first impression I wanted for a tool people are trusting with their job search.

What part of job searching consumes the most time for you?

One of the things that surprised me during my own job search was how much time was spent not actually finding opportunities, but preparing each application.

Reading the job description, deciding whether the role is a good fit, tailoring the resume, writing a cover letter, keeping different versions organized, and then tracking what was sent to each company can easily turn every application into hours of work.

After doing this repeatedly, I found the administrative side of job searching almost as exhausting as the rejections themselves.

That experience eventually led me to build CareerPocket AI, which I m launching here tomorrow.
