Common questions

Why can I see a job but not generate a document?

Check the selected profile, profile lock state, plan entitlement, remaining credits, resume availability, and job-description content.

Why is Gmail missing or paused?

Gmail belongs to a specific profile and requires an entitled plan. Confirm the active profile, billing state, and connection status.

Why are no interviews shown?

An applied or rejected job is not automatically an interview. A confirmed interview-stage event must exist first.

Why did a profile become locked?

The current plan may allow fewer active profiles. Locked profiles remain visible and preserved but cannot perform profile-scoped actions.

Can I correct a wrong email link or stage?

Yes. Open the message or application, correct the relationship or stage, and review the resulting timeline.

Does Jobcakes submit applications automatically?

Jobcakes supports discovery, preparation, document generation, answers, and tracking. Always confirm the final external submission state.
