The Black Box is Real.

You spend hours perfecting your CV. You hit 'Apply'. You hear nothing. That silence isn't rejection. It's deletion. Your CV likely never reached a human.

South African job portals use aggressive bots that discard resumes with even minor "Parsing Errors." Your Word doc or Canva PDF? It's probably getting thrown out.

Stop guessing. Start getting seen.

The Fine Print (For Skeptics)

Calculated Truths & Strategic Assurance

Is this just a ChatGPT wrapper?

No. ChatGPT gives you generic advice. CareerDad uses high-context indexing engines specifically tuned for South African portal parsing logic (PNet/CJ). We engineer data; we don't just write sentences.

Why can't I just use a template?

Templates are for humans. Portals are for machines. A 'pretty' Canva template often scrambles your metadata, leading to instant auto-rejection. We provide templates that look good to humans but are perfectly readable to machines.

Is my data private?

Yes. Unlike LinkedIn, your activity is 100% private. Your boss will not see you're 'Open to Work.' We use your data to power the AI analysis for you, and that's it. We don't sell it.

I’ve been out of work for 6 months. Is my CV 'toxic'?

Absolutely not. HR algorithms don't judge time; they search for utility. We help you reframe that gap as a period of strategic upskilling. When metadata matches the need, the timeline becomes secondary.

Do I need a degree to pass the automated filters?

Modern hiring is shifting from 'Credentials' to 'Capabilities.' If you have the skills, we help you highlight them so clearly that the system prioritizes your proven competence over a piece of paper.
