Questions people ask

Who does the work?

Most of it is automated. An AI service (Claude, by Anthropic) finds and checks your matches, drafts your tailored documents and answers routine questions. Every match gets a live posting check and an automated fact check before it reaches your portal, and every document is checked automatically against your own resume. A person answers sensitive questions, such as pay numbers, offers, legal or benefits rules, and reviews anything the checks can't confirm. You approve every document and send every application yourself.

Do you apply for me?

No. You submit every application yourself, with the tailored resume and cover letter prepared for that job. Steady Path Careers never applies in your name, logs into your accounts or contacts employers or recruiters for you.

How fast will I hear back from you?

Questions in your portal get an automated answer within about an hour. Anything that needs a person gets a reply within 1 business day.

Can you guarantee me a job?

No one honestly can. What Steady Path Careers promises is the process: real openings, real pay, documents that only say what's true, and every step tracked in your portal.

Is my search private?

We never contact employers for you, and your current employer hears nothing from us. See the privacy page for what we store.

What does it cost?

Free for 14 days. Then $99 a month if you choose to continue. Tell us you're hired and billing stops. Paid plans haven't opened yet, and you'll always see the final price and terms in writing before any charge. Nothing renews or charges on its own, and no card is needed to start. Already a client? Your free pilot keeps the length you signed up with.

What happens after your free pilot?

You choose: keep going at $99 a month, pause, or stop. If you stop and ask for your files to be deleted, they are deleted within 30 days and you get a confirmation by email. How long files are kept.

Can I cancel anytime?

During the free pilot there is nothing to cancel. No card is on file, nothing renews or charges on its own, and you only pay if you choose to continue at $99 a month. Tell us you're hired and billing stops. If you keep going after the pilot, refunds and how to cancel are set out in a written agreement before any charge, and nothing is charged without your OK in writing. See the terms.

Can I talk to someone before I sign up?

Yes. Book a free 15-minute intro call and we will phone you at the time you pick, or call or text (732) 759-0008. No sales pitch, and you can start the intake form whenever you're ready.

How many jobs will I get?

Usually 5 to 10 a week, once you've agreed on the titles to go after. Fewer if the market is thin for your field, because only jobs that pass a live check are sent.

What if a job doesn't post its pay?

We don't send it. Every job we send shows pay as the employer posted it, so a posting with no pay never reaches you. New Jersey and New York both require pay ranges in most postings now, so most employers do post them.

What areas do you cover?

In-person and hybrid jobs in New Jersey, the five New York City boroughs, and Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland counties, plus remote jobs open to people in your state. Moving here from another state? Say so on the form and the search covers where you're headed.

Will you help me negotiate my offer?

Yes. Send the offer and a person reviews pay, benefits and start date with you within 1 business day. If asking for more makes sense, you'll get a short counter email or call script in your own words. There's no guarantee an employer will move, and the decision is always yours. See an example.

Do you redo my LinkedIn profile?

On request. Your headline, About section and job entries are rewritten to match your resume, and you paste them in yourself. It isn't part of the standard service and may carry a separate fee; you'll know the price before any work starts. See an example.

Do you use AI?

Yes. An AI service (Claude, by Anthropic) finds and checks matches, drafts documents and answers routine questions. Automated checks test each match and each document before it reaches you, and a person handles sensitive questions. AI can make mistakes, so you review and approve every document before it is used.

Does the service stop on weekends or holidays?

The service runs every day, including weekends and holidays. Job matches, documents and answers keep coming whether or not anyone is at a desk.

Who sees my information?

Your files are kept in password-protected Google accounts used only for Steady Path Careers. Your resume, intake answers and questions are processed by an AI service (Claude, by Anthropic) to find your matches, draft your documents and answer your questions. A person sees them when a question needs a human answer or a document is held for review. No employees or outside partners access client files. Your documents are shared with you by private link, so anyone who has the link can open them. Keep portal emails to yourself. Your information is never sold or shared with employers. The full list of tools is in the privacy policy.

Where is my information kept?

Your intake answers, resume and portal data are stored with Google (Sheets, Drive and related tools) in password-protected accounts, not on this website. Your files and questions are also processed by Claude, an AI service by Anthropic, to produce your matches, documents and answers. Your documents are shared with you by private link, so anyone who has the link can open them. Keep portal emails to yourself. Your information is kept while you use the service. If you stop, it is deleted within 12 months of your last contact unless you ask for it to be kept. You can also ask for it to be deleted sooner: that happens within 30 days, with a confirmation by email. The full list is in the privacy policy.

How do I sign in to my portal?

Use Client sign in at the top of this page (in the menu on a phone) and enter your email. The portal emails you a sign-in link and a 6-digit code, no password. Each works once. Open the link, or type the code if you opened Steady Path from your home screen. It keeps you signed in on that device for 90 days.
