Built for international students

Job hunting in the US on an F-1, OPT or H-1B is a different problem from job hunting. ZapKitt is the toolkit for that problem — free, no signup, no card.

Numbers you can check

The ATS match is literal keyword matching done in code, not a score an AI invented — so the same resume and job description always give the same result. H-1B figures are counts from public Department of Labor filings. If we cannot show you where a number came from, we do not show the number.

Nothing is stored

Your resume is processed and discarded. There is no account, no database of your documents, and nothing to delete later. The AI tools do send your text to a model provider to generate a result — we say so plainly rather than claiming everything runs in your browser.

Free, with no trick

No trial, no card, no "3 uses per day". Every tool works on your first visit. A couple of optional extras are pay-what-you-want, and they are clearly marked before you start.

Visa-aware by default

Sponsorship is not a footnote here. The interview practice includes the sponsorship question every international student gets asked, and the resume tools assume you are competing for a role where work authorisation is part of the conversation.

Why this exists

An international student in the US is not running the same job search as everyone else. There is a clock on it — 90 days of unemployment on OPT and your status is gone. Most of the companies you apply to will never sponsor a visa, and almost none of them say so in the job posting. Somewhere in every interview loop, someone asks whether you will need sponsorship, and nobody ever taught you how to answer it.

The tools built for job seekers ignore all of that. They will score your resume and track your applications, but none of them know what an I-983 is, or that applying to a company with zero filings in three years is a week you do not get back.

So ZapKitt does the parts that are specific to this situation. The ATS matcher shows you the keywords you are missing, using literal matching you can verify against your own resume rather than a number a model made up. The resume builder turns duties into achievement bullets without inventing metrics you never had. The mock interview makes you practise the sponsorship question out loud.

All of it is free and none of it needs an account. If something is missing or wrong, tell us — hello@zapkitt.com.
