Questions before you send?

Three coaching products, each based on your actual CV. The Career Direction Explorer ($5 AUD / £2.50 GBP) maps the career paths your experience points towards. The CV Revision Guide ($10 AUD / £5.00 GBP) gives you specific priorities to strengthen your CV, ranked by impact. The Interview Preparation Guide ($20 AUD / £10 GBP) helps you see what your CV signals to interviewers, practise answering the questions it invites and rehearse out loud using a tailored prompt you run with your own ChatGPT, Claude or other AI. Each product is purchased separately — pick whichever one you need. The coaching here is AI-generated feedback designed to help you think for yourself — not professional career advice.

We recommend the Career Direction Explorer as a starting point — it helps you understand what your CV is actually saying to employers before you start changing it. But there's no required order. If you already know what direction you're heading and want to strengthen your CV, go straight to the CV Revision Guide. If you want to prepare for interviews, the Interview Preparation Guide works on its own too. Each product works from your CV, so you'll need to send it through on WhatsApp to get started.

About 10 minutes from payment to delivery. Your document arrives in the same WhatsApp chat.

No. One payment, one review. No recurring charges, no account to cancel, no follow-up emails trying to upsell you.

Standard AI tools give generic, one-size-fits-all responses that need endless prompting to be useful. TryPenguin eliminates the trial and error. Instead of rewriting your text, we give you structured feedback on what your CV is actually saying and why — so you understand what matters and can make the final call yourself.

No. TryPenguin gives AI-generated feedback based on what your CV says. It's designed to help you find your own direction and voice — not to give you professional career counselling, employment services or guarantees of any outcome. Think of it as structured feedback that prompts better thinking, not advice from a qualified adviser. If you want professional career advice, talk to a careers counsellor.

No. TryPenguin coaches you on what to change - you make the changes yourself. That's deliberate. A CV someone else wrote for you falls apart in the interview when you can't explain what's on the page. A CV you improved yourself is one you can talk about with confidence.

Yes. Send your updated CV and choose which product you'd like run against the new version — same process, new results. Each product is a separate purchase.

PDF or Word documents (.pdf or .docx). If your CV is on your laptop, email it to yourself or grab it from your cloud storage - you just need the file in the WhatsApp chat.

Your CV is held for 7 days then deleted. You can also message "delete my data" at any time and everything gets removed immediately. We don't sell your data. We use it to produce your coaching documents and may also use data from our coaching process to improve our services. Full details are in our privacy policy.

TryPenguin is designed for users in Australia and the UK. AU phone numbers pay in AUD (from $7.50); UK phone numbers pay in GBP (from £3.75). If you're outside these two countries and your number isn't AU, you'll be charged in GBP — but note our coaching is calibrated for the AU and UK job markets. All documents are in English.

The Interview Preparation Guide does three things. First, it shows you what your CV actually signals — the decisions, outcomes and patterns an interviewer will notice. Second, it surfaces the questions your CV invites and helps you prepare honest answers, including for the harder ones. Third, you get a tailored prompt and instructions to rehearse out loud using your own AI in voice mode — ChatGPT, Claude or whichever you use. You don't need a real interview lined up; this is about getting confident in your brand and experience on your own terms. $20 AUD / £10 GBP, delivered via WhatsApp.
