FAQ
Questions about the tools
Quick answers about how the tools work and what happens to your information.
- Are the tools really free?
Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no sign-up and no credit card.
- Do the tools use AI?
Some do. The tools that write for you, like the Layoff Story Builder and Headline & About Writer, use AI to create a first draft. The Runway Calculator and the offer comparison are simple calculators. Always read your results and make them sound like you, since AI can make mistakes.
- Do the tools work with the free courses?
Yes. Each course in Land on Your Feet links to the tool that goes with it, so you can learn the idea and put it into practice right away.
- What happens to the information I enter?
Your answers are saved only in your own browser, on your device, so you can come back to them. Tools that write for you send your answers securely to create your results, and EmployBrite doesn't store them. You can clear your answers anytime with the link at the bottom of each tool.
- Which tool should I start with?
If you've just lost your job, start with Steady Check and the Runway Calculator. If you're already applying, the Headline & About Writer and Pitch Project Builder are a great next step.
- Is this professional advice?
No. The tools offer general guidance, not legal, financial or mental health advice. For those, please talk to a qualified professional. If you're ever in crisis in the U.S., call or text 988 any time.
