Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the free trial?

You get 14 days of access to Pro features, so you can experience how Career Companion helps you track impact, build a growth plan, and prepare for career-defining conversations before upgrading.

Can this be reimbursed by my employer?

Career Companion subscriptions can be reimbursed as a professional development or learning tool. To make it easier, you can use our Employer Sponsorship Request template to approach your employer and request coverage.

How does this “pay for itself”?

One raise, bonus, or promotion typically outweighs the annual cost. Even without a formal promotion, stronger positioning and clearer conversations can deliver 10× or more return in the first year.

How is this different from a resume or notes app?

Resumes and notes are static. Career Companion is active, it uses AI to turn your work history into growth plans, talking points, and ready-to-use summaries for reviews, promotions, and compensation conversations.

What if my company already has performance tools?

While company tools serve HR and compliance needs, Career Companion focuses on the individual, helping you stay visible, manage up, and prepare for meaningful career conversations.

Is my data private and secure?

Data security is our top priority. Your information is encrypted, protected, and handled according to industry best practices and strict security standards. You control who has access, including mentors, coaches, or accountability partners you choose to invite.

Is this useful for early-career professionals?

Absolutely. Early-career users benefit from building strong habits early, tracking growth, and entering reviews, interviews, or feedback conversations with confidence.

Is this something I’ll actually use year-round?

Yes. Career Companion is designed for light, recurring use. A few minutes at a time builds a living record of your work, keeps you prepared, and compounds in value throughout the year.
