What is Scan Careers?
Scan Careers is a job-pattern intelligence tool. It helps you compare job descriptions, identify repeated skills, qualifications, and experience, inspect exact source evidence, and decide what to investigate or build next.
How are the website and Chrome extension different?
The website compares one to ten job descriptions that you paste into a workspace. The Chrome extension scans supported job pages and compares a posting with career evidence you have reviewed. Each product remains useful on its own.
Which job workflows are currently supported?
The website accepts pasted job descriptions without depending on a particular job board. The extension has specific extraction workflows for LinkedIn and Indeed; unsupported or unclear pages should not be treated as successfully scanned.
What does evidence-grounded analysis mean?
A displayed job pattern must be traceable to exact wording from the job descriptions in the current comparison. Scan Careers counts a pattern at most once per job, validates model output, and keeps source excerpts available for review.
How do Google and Gemini take part?
Google provides optional account sign-in. Google Gemini processes requested analyses, while Scan Careers validates and bounds the response. Gemini does not set the extension’s final decision or numeric Match Score.
Are pasted job descriptions retained?
The website sends pasted descriptions through the Scan Careers service to Gemini for the requested comparison, but the descriptions, raw prompt, raw response, and derived comparison are not durably stored in the production D1 database. Pasted text stays in the active page workspace, and a validated derived result may remain in that browser until cleared.
What is stored locally, in session storage, or in the cloud?
Browser and extension storage can hold bounded product state such as reviewed evidence, preferences, saved scans, or a validated website result. A signed-out extension Gemini key is session-only. Cloud profile, evidence, and saved-scan records are stored only after an explicit save or sync action.
What happens when I sign in?
Google sign-in creates or opens a Scan Careers account using minimal identity information. Signing in does not automatically upload existing extension career data; cloud save and restore are separate user actions.
How many free analyses are available?
The current service allows three successful website comparisons and three successful extension analyses in separate usage buckets. A failed or rejected analysis is not intended to consume usage.
Can I correct the analysis?
Yes. The extension provides bounded corrections and requires individual review before imported résumé evidence can count. Scan Careers recalculates decisions and next actions from the corrected, validated state; you should still inspect the source and use your own judgment.
How do deletion and privacy controls work?
Cloud account deletion removes the account and linked cloud records and invalidates the old session. It does not erase local browser or extension data. Local deletion controls and cloud account deletion are separate actions.
What should I do if sign-in or analysis fails?
Return to the Scan Careers page, retry the action once, and confirm that the selected job text is complete. Do not send API keys, session values, résumé text, or job descriptions in a support request. A public support address has not yet been approved, so use the in-product controls and consult the Privacy Policy for the current contact status.
What should I keep in mind?
Scan Careers is an informational tool, not an employer, recruiter, certification authority, or guarantee of an interview or hiring outcome. Pattern frequency describes only the jobs you supplied. Read the job-description comparison guide, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service for more detail.
