Question 1

Who is NextMilestone for?

Accepted Answer

Students, early-career professionals, experienced people and leaders. Everyone gets the same app; your career stage changes what comes first on Today, not where things are.

Question 2

Is there a phone app?

Accepted Answer

NextMilestone installs from your browser on iOS and Android, so there is nothing to download from a store. The focus timer and quick logging keep working offline and sync when you're back.

Question 3

Where do the interview questions come from?

Accepted Answer

“Most asked” comes from people who report the questions they were asked after real interviews, plus curated sets for each role. Every question shows its source, and we don't use scraped interview content.

Question 4

What does the AI do, and what stays with me?

Accepted Answer

AI drafts practice feedback, plans and tailored resumes. Each draft is labeled until you accept it, and nothing is sent, applied for or published without you.

Question 5

Who can see my milestones?

Accepted Answer

You choose per milestone: public or private. Things like “open to roles” are visible only to you, and you can preview your profile as the public sees it.

Question 6

Which countries does it work in?

Accepted Answer

The United States first, with pay in dollars. Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia follow, with local job sources and currencies.

Question 7

When is the plan made?

Accepted Answer

Each morning at 6:30 AM in your time zone, so it's ready when you open the app. It updates during the day as you finish or skip items.

Question 8

What happens if I skip a day?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. There are no streaks to break and no reminders about what you missed. The next plan starts from where you are.

Question 9

Why only 3 to 5 items?

Accepted Answer

A short plan gets done. Everything else is one click away in its own area, and Today shows it when it becomes the most useful thing.

Question 10

Can I use it from the keyboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Press ⌘K (Ctrl K on Windows) to jump anywhere, and everything on Today works without a mouse.

Question 11

Can I answer out loud?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Speak your answer and it's transcribed so you can edit it before asking for feedback, or type it if you prefer.

Question 12

How does the AI feedback work?

Accepted Answer

You get one strength, one gap and one thing to read next. It's labeled as an AI draft, and you can accept it, edit it or mark it wrong.

Question 13

Can I add the questions I was asked?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After an interview you can report the questions you were asked. Reports are what “Most asked” is built from, and they help everyone preparing for the same role.

Question 14

Does it know when my interview is?

Accepted Answer

If the interview is on your calendar, Today puts practice for that role first in the days before it.

Question 15

Does the timer work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The focus timer keeps running without a connection and syncs your minutes when you're back online.

Question 16

Which calendars can I connect?

Accepted Answer

Google Calendar at launch. Focus blocks appear on it, and interviews from it show up on Today.

Question 17

Does it block other apps?

Accepted Answer

No. NextMilestone holds its own notifications during a session. For other apps, use your phone's focus mode alongside it.

Question 18

Are there streaks?

Accepted Answer

No. Minutes count towards a goal you set, and a quiet week is never mentioned. Progress, not pressure.

Question 19

Where do the jobs come from?

Accepted Answer

Hundreds of US employers' career pages, plus public job APIs. We only use sources whose terms allow it, and duplicates of the same role are merged into one.

Question 20

How is the match score worked out?

Accepted Answer

From the skills, experience, location and pay on your profile against what the role asks for. Each score shows what helped and what's missing.

Question 21

Will it apply to jobs for me?

Accepted Answer

No. You decide where to apply and you send every application. AI drafts a tailored resume when you shortlist a role, and you edit it before using it.

Question 22

What can I learn?

Accepted Answer

Four launch paths at first, with short lessons you can do in a focus block. You can log things you learned elsewhere too.

Question 23

How do I join the community?

Accepted Answer

It's invite-only at launch. Sign up and you'll be added as groups open, starting in the US.

Question 24

Do I have to share anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Milestones are private until you make them public, one at a time, and you can preview your profile as the public sees it.

Question 25

Why no likes?

Accepted Answer

Likes reward what's popular. “Helpful” rewards what helped someone, which is the point of asking people a few steps ahead.
