The Cook's Ferry Indian Band is a Nlaka'pamux government located in the Central Interior Region of British Columbia. It has 26 reserves of various sizes, primarily in the scenic Thompson River Valley between what are now known as Ashcroft and Lytton, British Columbia, and through the Nicola Valley, including Merritt.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
