You talk. Jarli listens.
A real conversation about where you are — the job, the visa, the skill you've been meaning to learn, the thing you've always wondered about doing.

Australia is losing more jobs to automation this year than almost anywhere in the world, and Sydney is third globally for absolute cuts. You likely know this already. What's missing isn't awareness. It's help that's actually about you.
Generic online courses don't know your situation. A good career coach charges by the hour, and the hours add up fast. Government retraining has a patchy record at best. So most people at a crossroads end up navigating it alone, with a job board and a guess.
And if you're not going anywhere — just trying to stay good at a job that keeps changing — the options are the same generic courses, still not about you.
That's the gap Jarli was built to fill.

How it works
It starts the way good advice always starts.
No forms, no quizzes, no career-personality types. Just a conversation — and you don't need to arrive knowing the answer.
It gets specific.
Jarli knows the Australian job market — what's hiring, what's fading, which skills are rising, and what your timeline means for your options.
You get a plan.
Not a list of links. A direction — or a skill — with a sequence of steps and a realistic timeline, built around your circumstances, not a template. Ask what your resume could say at the end of it, and Jarli sketches it from your plan.
You work it together.
A new week opens each Monday, with a check-in on Sunday evening. Jarli adjusts the plan as things change and keeps you moving. Someone in your corner.
Three surfaces
Three surfaces. One machine.
You talk; Jarli keeps a record you approve; the plan is drawn from that record. That's the whole app.
◉ Thread — where you talk
Every day opens fresh — a greeting, this week's context, and room to say anything. Paste a job ad at 11pm. Say "something's changed." No scrollback to face, no picking up where guilt left off.
▤ Plan — where the work lives
Broken into weeks, at a pace you actually have. Not a curriculum dump — it's derived from your profile, so what's in front of you this week is what your situation calls for.
◈ Profile — your resume and your record
Your resume lives here, so anything Jarli drafts starts from your own words. And your situation only changes with your OK: when something shifts, Jarli shows you what it heard before anything is written.
The plan is the map. The conversation is where the work happens. The profile is why you never start over.
The first conversation
See how it starts.
This is a real onboarding exchange, word for word the way Jarli works: it asks, it listens, and it starts finding things you didn't know you had.
When life changes
Say it once. Everything adjusts.
The layoff you saw coming lands. An offer arrives. Interviews pick up and the priority shifts. You tell Jarli the way you'd tell a person — and it shows you exactly what it heard and what it wants to update. Nothing is written without your OK — and the reworked plan waits for a second yes.
haven't opened this in two weeks, sorry
Nothing to apologise for — life happens to every plan. Nothing's expired. Want to ease back in with something small, or talk about what the last fortnight was like first?
No streaks. No guilt. Pick it back up whenever you're ready.
Job search
When you're applying, Jarli is in the search with you.
Tell Jarli you're applying and the conversation turns to the roles you're going for: what each one asks, how you stack up, and what to do next. Same Jarli, same plan, now pointed at the interview.
Read the ad Draft from your resume Prep and practise Talk it through after
Read the ad
Paste a job ad, or add a few screenshots of it straight from your phone. Jarli tells you where you stand, the one gap that actually matters, and what to lead with if you go for it. Most ads are wish lists, so it leans toward yes.
Keep the roles straight
Every role you're going for sits in one place: applied, interview booked, waiting to hear. Jarli brings up the one that needs you next, and never turns your search into a count.
Drafts from your own resume
A resume tailored to one role, the changes to make to yours, or a cover letter, all written from your resume and nothing invented. You edit it, copy it, and download it from the web app.
Prep, practise, debrief
A brief on what they'll likely ask, your stories shaped for the behavioural questions, technical practice one question at a time, and a fifteen-minute mock interview. When it's over, talk it through and the next prep learns from it.
Not applying yet? Practise anyway.
If your plan leads to a job, ask Jarli for a practice interview whenever you like. It plays the interviewer for the role you're heading toward, one question at a time, and when you say stop you get a straight read: what landed, what ran long, and the one thing to tighten. No score, no grade.
Grounded in Australian data
Every role — and every skill — Jarli points you at is real, with a code, a market, and demand behind it.
Not a vibe, not a listicle. Jarli's role maps are built on the same occupation classifications the rest of Australia runs on.
OSCA & ANZSCO aligned
Your role map uses Australia's official occupation classifications — the same codes the ABS and Home Affairs use. So every recommendation is a recognised occupation, not an invented job title.
Live market signals
Demand, wage bands, and shortage ratings come from Jobs and Skills Australia — for occupations and the skills inside them. "This is worth learning" means it's in demand here, now.
Visa-pathway aware
If you're on a 485, Jarli reads your timeline as a fact, not a footnote — and its Australian research covers which occupations carry realistic skills-assessment and sponsorship pathways, so a direction is proposed with your visa in mind rather than in spite of it.
From a real role map: Supply & Distribution Manager · ANZSCO 133611 ICT Support Engineer · OSCA 263212 Software Engineer · OSCA 261313 Test automation (Playwright) · rising demand✓ 84% skills overlap
The data is about the market — never about you. Jarli doesn't score you, rank you, or grade your potential.
There's no employability rating, no percentile, no traffic light next to your name. You're a person mid-way through a story, and Jarli's job is the next chapter.
Who it's for
People come to Jarli at different moments.
Some got a redundancy email. Some are watching a visa clock. Some are planning ahead, coming back after time away, or choosing different work. And some just want to get better at the job they already have. Jarli meets each of them where they are.
"The email came on a Tuesday. Eleven years, gone in four paragraphs."
You're on JobSeeker, the maths is tight, and you need a real direction in weeks — not a pep talk about silver linings. Jarli starts by understanding what you've actually built over those years, then shows you where it transfers, and how fast you can realistically get there.
"I have eighteen months on this visa. Every week the window closes a little."
You finished the degree. Now the 485 clock is running and the advice online is written for someone else's country. Jarli knows exactly what your timeline means, where sponsorship is realistic, and how to spend the next fortnight — not the next someday.
"I'm fine. But I've watched half my team's work get automated, and I'd rather move early than late."
Nothing's wrong — you're just paying attention. Jarli shows you where you stand against the market, which of your skills are appreciating, and what a deliberate two-year move looks like while you still have all the leverage.
"Nothing's wrong with my job. I just want to be the one on the team who actually knows this stuff."
You're not looking for an exit — you're looking for an edge.
See how levelling up works →"I know I can do the work. I just don't know what's changed while I've been out."
Coming back after time away? Jarli starts from what you can already do, catches you up on what's moved in your field, and helps you put the break in one plain sentence, then move on. It never asks why you were away.
"My job's fine. I just don't want to be doing it in ten years."
A change by choice, not an emergency, and Jarli treats it that way. Not sure the new direction is for you yet? Try it first: a few weeks of small, real-world experiments, then decide. Sure already? A plan that fits around the job you have.
Level up
Already employed? Get sharper where you stand.
Same case manager, different job. Arrive with a skill in mind, or just a hunch that you should be learning something — Jarli works from either.
"I want to get properly good at Power BI."
You know the skill. Jarli scopes it against your background and your actual job, builds the shortest useful path, and keeps the sessions honest — no padding, no busywork.
"I'm a payroll officer — what's worth learning right now?"
You know you should be learning something. Jarli maps the territory for someone with your exact background — what's rising in the Australian market, what pays off fastest — and proposes grounded directions. You pick; it plans.
Scope it together Learn it, session by session Apply it at work
What a plan actually looks like
Developer → AI-augmented QA
Ten weeks, four hours a week — applied to your own codebase, so the test coverage you build is the test coverage your team ships with.
Office manager → Workflow automation with Power Automate
Nine weeks, each session aimed at one approval, form or handover your office still runs by email — by the end, they route themselves.
Analyst → Python for data work
Eight weeks, aimed straight at the reports you already produce — by the end, the ones that took a day run themselves.
After you land it
Getting the job isn't the end of the conversation.
Tell Jarli you got it, and it records the role and your start date once you've checked them. Your plan is held, not deleted, and the first months of the new job get the same attention as the search did.
You got the job Before you start Day one The first months
Before you start
What's worth knowing before day one, drawn from your own search for this role: the gap the ad pointed at, the question that caught you out. Nothing generic, and nothing if there's nothing to say.
Check-ins that fit the job
A word after your first week, your first month and your first quarter. After the first, you choose how often: weekly for the first month and then less, or monthly.
The conversations a new job brings
A catch-up with your manager, a talk about workload, the first review. Tell Jarli who it's with and what it's about, and practise it first: Jarli plays the other person, then steps out to tell you what worked.
Price
Open Jarli →Free. All of it.
The conversation, your plan, the weekly sessions and the job search all cost nothing. No card, no catch.
Why this exists
When executives lose their jobs, their companies pay $400 an hour for someone to sit with them, map their options, and walk them into the next role. It works. It's also reserved for people who least need the help.
Jarli exists because that kind of guidance shouldn't depend on your title, your visa status, or your bank balance. Career transition was the first version of that idea. Getting sharper in the job you already have is the second. Made here by someone who saw the gap and decided to fill it.
Jarli is an Aboriginal word for owl. It felt right: an owl sees clearly when the light is low — and that's the whole job here. Helping you find your path when the way forward isn't obvious yet.
In your pocket, when you're ready.
