Frequently asked questions

Can I use this for internal competitions?

Yes. The tools work for both external and internal applicants. Paste the full posting including the statement of merit criteria either way.

Is my resume or cover letter stored?

Your submission is retained only as long as necessary to deliver your output and is subject to periodic deletion. You can request deletion at any time by emailing privacy@federaljobcourse.com.

What if I'm not happy with the output?

Use the refinement panel to adjust tone, length, and confidence. If it's still not right, email us and we'll make it right.

Do I need to edit the output before submitting?

Yes, always. FedJobReady™ gives you a strong, merit-criteria-aligned starting point. Review it, personalize it, and make it yours before submitting to any staffing process.

Is FedJobReady™ affiliated with the Government of Canada?

No. FedJobReady™ is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Government of Canada, the Public Service Commission, the Treasury Board Secretariat, or any federal department or agency.

Can I use the cover letter tool for more than one posting?

Yes — your $19 includes 3 refinements for the same posting. If you change more than 20% of the posting text, it's treated as a new posting and a new purchase.

How is this different from using ChatGPT?

The prompts are built specifically for GC screening. The output is scored against the actual merit criteria from your posting so you can see exactly where you stand. Generic AI doesn't know what a screening board looks for — this does.
