Why this exists
I have two daughters. They're stuck in two different ways, eight years apart.
Grace, 25
She's been pulling beers, making coffees, answering phones at jobs she's grown to dread. She's brilliant — articulate, curious, kind, sharp. And she has no idea what to do next.
Career advice for people in her bracket is mostly garbage. Books like What Color Is Your Parachute? are decades old and country-of-origin US. Online quizzes are trash. Career counsellors cost money she doesn't have. Her group chat tells her to follow her passion, which is great if your passion happens to be a viable career, and a bit useless if it's “going to gigs and hanging out with my dog.”
So the site asks her about her past roles before any psychometrics. Hospo skills are real skills — customer service under pressure, multitasking, reading rooms, conflict de-escalation, cash handling, sales — and they unlock far more careers than people realise: account management, recruitment, real estate, events, customer success, HR, training. Then it filters those careers through where she actually lives. A graduate sales role booming in Sydney isn't useful to her in Adelaide. The matches she sees are the ones a 25-year-old with five years of hospo can plausibly land in SA, ranked.
Faith, 17
She's in Year 11. The decision in front of her is concrete: uni, TAFE, or straight to work? She's not stuck like her sister — she's actively asking the question, which is more than most people her age manage. But she doesn't have the data to answer it well.
Every adult around her has an opinion. Her school careers counsellor gave her fifteen minutes last term. The actual question — which path lines up with my interests, strengths, values, and what's genuinely growing in the Australian job market? — is the kind of thing that needs an hour of focused work and good data, not an offhand opinion at the dinner table.
Verity has watched her sister get stuck. She doesn't want to land in the same job-shaped vacuum at 25. Right now she has more pressure and fewer answers than Grace ever did at her age.
What this is
The actual research on career fit is good. Holland Codes have been validated for sixty years. The Big Five is the most-supported personality model in psychology. The US Department of Labour maintains a free database of 1,000+ occupations with detailed profiles. Australian job-market data is publicly available. Claude is genuinely good at synthesising.
Nobody had bothered to put it all together for someone like Grace, or someone like Faith. So I did.
This site is free. There's no premium tier. There are no ads. We don't sell your data. The code is honest about what it does. If it helps you the way I hope it helps my daughters, send it to someone else who's stuck.
