Where FAFJ is different
FAFJ is a tracker first. Click Apply on a posting and the job is already on your list, with the full description and pay, and it moves to Applied when you submit. On Pro, Gmail or Outlook keeps every status current, AI Match shows your fit for a job, and AI writes a cover letter from your resume. How FAFJ works
Which fits you
FAFJ fits better when
- You want every application tracked without typing: saved when you click Apply, and moved to Applied when you submit.
- You want the posting kept after the listing comes down.
- You want Gmail or Outlook, and your calendar, to keep statuses and interviews current, with a Review inbox for anything unclear (Pro).
- You use Firefox or Edge: the FAFJ extension is in both stores, and Chrome's.
- People are helping you look, and you want them to see your search or add jobs to it (Pro).
Teal might fit better when
- You want to build or rework your resume, with templates and design controls.
- You want keyword matching and a Match Score while you write your resume.
- You want email templates for each stage of the search, and checklists for each application.
- You expect a short, intense search and would rather pay by the week.
