Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Career Portrait.
Is my data private?
Yes. We don't require an account — your portrait is tied to an anonymous session cookie. Your uploaded PDF is processed by AI and never stored permanently. We never share your personal data with third parties.
How accurate is the AI analysis?
Career Portrait uses advanced AI to analyze 12 dimensions of your actual career — not generic templates. Your insights are grounded in real labor market data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (830+ occupations, salary data covering 141M+ workers), so when we say you're in the top 15%, it's based on real numbers.
Do I need a LinkedIn PDF specifically?
A LinkedIn PDF works best because it's structured and comprehensive. You can export it from your LinkedIn profile in 5 seconds (Profile → More → Save to PDF). Any resume PDF will work, but LinkedIn PDFs produce the richest results.
Can I edit my portrait after it's generated?
Portraits are generated as a snapshot of your career at this moment. If your career evolves, simply upload an updated PDF to generate a fresh portrait — free tier is always free.
Do I need to pay?
No. The free tier is permanent and includes your archetype, career DNA snapshot, top percentile score, and a narrative hook. Paid tiers ($9.99 and $24.99) unlock the full portrait, recruiter insights, smart match scores, and the Career Kit.
How is this different from my LinkedIn summary?
LinkedIn shows what you've done. Career Portrait shows who you are. We generate an AI narrative, percentile benchmarks against 830+ occupations (Bureau of Labor Statistics), role compatibility scores, and a recruiter's-eye view of your profile — none of which LinkedIn provides.
What if I'm not satisfied?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid tiers. If you're not happy with your portrait, contact us and we'll process a full refund — no questions asked.
Can I delete my portrait?
Yes. Your portrait is tied to your browser session. If you clear your cookies, the link between you and the portrait is severed. If you need your data explicitly removed, contact us at hello@careerportrait.co.
How long does it take?
The AI analysis takes 1-3 minutes depending on your resume's complexity. You'll see a live progress bar and can answer optional career questions while you wait.
Is Career Portrait available in Spanish?
Yes. Career Portrait is fully available in English and Spanish. Your portrait, narrative, and all insights are generated in the language you choose.
