THE FIVE TOOLS
APPLICATION TAILOR
Aim your base resume at a specific job.
Takes the base resume you built in the Forge and aims it at a specific posting -- a tailored resume, cover letter, and disclosure brief, matched to what that job actually asks for. Every version is saved. You own the final document.
No auto-generation, no invented experience. It sharpens what is already true for the role you want.
DISCLOSURE PLANNER
When to say it. How to say it. How to practice.
A structured approach to the hardest part of the job search: talking about your record. The planner walks you through timing, framing, and rehearsal. The script is yours -- built from your specific situation, not a template.
The disclosure question kills more interviews than the record itself. This is the tool that fixes that.
INTERVIEW PRACTICE
AI mock interviews tailored to your target role.
Practice answers to common questions with an AI interviewer that knows your situation. Feedback on clarity and confidence. As many rounds as you need.
Preparation is the only thing you control on interview day.
JOB BOARD
Employers who are actually fair-chance.
Not just a job listing scraped from Indeed. Filtered for fair-chance hiring practices, matched to your situation. Ban the Box employers, WOTC participants, orgs with known JI-friendly hiring.
Applying to companies that don't want to hire you is a waste of time. We cut that list down.
RESOURCE HUB
Verified local support, not a Google search.
Housing, transportation, legal aid, recovery support, reentry services -- verified Wisconsin organizations filtered to what you actually need. Granovetter showed weak ties are the most valuable job leads. The Hub is built on that.
A tailored resume matters more when housing and transportation are stable.
