Job search

The call that gets you the interview

The single highest-return action in a job search is following up by phone, and it is the one almost nobody does. For someone whose English is strongest in writing, it is the one they cannot do.

That is a real cost. Applications sit unread in a system; a two-minute call moves a name to the top of a pile. Small businesses and restaurants in particular still hire almost entirely this way — you walk in or you call.

We call, ask whether they are hiring and whether your application was received, and bring back exactly what was said.

For example
Sixty applications, no phone calls

Every one submitted through a portal, every one unanswered. The two interviews he eventually got both came from walking in and asking — which is the same act as calling, minus the part that is hard.

You write this, in any language

Please call the restaurant on Clement Street, ask if they're still hiring kitchen staff, and whether I can come in for an interview.

What comes back

Whether they are hiring, who to speak to, and any time they offered.

What a call actually sounds like

An excerpt from a call this system placed over the phone network, exactly as it came back — including the part where it says what it is. It was dialled to our own number with a placeholder business name, which is worth saying plainly.

Questions people ask

What if my English isn't good?

That is who this is built for. You write or speak your request in your own language — English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean or Russian. The call itself is placed in English, and the transcript and result come back to you in your language.

Does the person on the other end know it's an AI?

Yes. Every call opens by saying it is an AI assistant calling on your behalf. That sentence is written into the code, not left to the model to decide, so it cannot be skipped.

Won't an AI call hurt my chances?

It discloses itself and speaks on your behalf, in the same register a personal assistant would. Use it for the logistical calls — is the job open, was my application received, what time is the interview. The interview itself is yours.

Will it call without asking me first?

No. You see exactly who is being called and what will be said, and nothing is dialled until you tap confirm.

How do I know what was actually said?

Every call comes back with a full transcript, line by line with timings, plus a short summary of the outcome. Calls are not recorded — you get the text, not the audio.
