GovCareerCoach

A focused workflow app for Civil Service and public-sector job applications.

Keep opportunities moving, preserve your evidence bank, and stay ready for reminders later without adding auth, billing, or heavyweight automation in V1.

Why it works

Local-first, transparent, and built for real application work.

No scraping or browser automation.
Manual review stays in the loop for every extracted field.
Vercel-ready architecture with room for reminders later.

V1 focus

Built around the actual jobs-to-application workflow

The first release stays practical: a polished tracker, a reusable STAR workspace, and enough structure to grow without premature backend complexity.

Track applications from first save to final outcome

Keep role title, employer, grade, closing date, notes, and status in one clean pipeline.

Paste a job URL or description without scraping anything

Store the source URL as a reference, or paste the job text and pre-fill fields for review.

Build a reusable STAR evidence bank

Save examples once, tag them clearly, and reuse them across behaviours, strengths, and competencies.

Workflow

How V1 is organised

The UI is structured to keep the next best action visible whether you are capturing a new role or refining evidence for an application.

1

Capture an opportunity with a URL or pasted description.

2

Review the extracted fields and adjust them manually.

3

Move the role through saved, drafting, applied, interview, offered, or rejected.

4

Keep your best STAR examples organised in a separate workspace.

Designed for public-sector roles

Keep behaviours, evidence, and deadlines in sync.

Job tracker

Pipeline-aware statuses, deadline visibility, and a clean edit flow.

Manual intake

Paste a URL for reference or paste the job text to prefill the form.

STAR workspace

Reusable examples, cleaner notes, and faster application drafting.
