# Real World Careers
> Work-fit, ZIP job list, and practice-exam product by Advanced Learning Academy LLC (Timothy E. Parker, Guinness World Records Puzzle Master pedigree). Not a placement service.

Real World Careers is **not** an IQ test. Career Fit: 50 questions, max composite 110, six work-relevant domains.
North star: workforce intelligence / capability evidence — not a better job board alone.

A person:
- Career Fit $199 — fifty questions, unlimited matches, two years of ZIP jobs, no practice exam

An office (no minimum, 1 to 500 people on a card):
- $50 a person — work-fit and ZIP job list
- $95 a person — those two, plus one practice exam (civil service, postal, TSA, CBP, corrections, CDL, or electrician)
- VA: https://realworldcareers.com/va/ — the program pays, the veteran pays nothing

## Audience answers (plain talk)
- Job seekers: timed capability profile, matches, credential, ZIP tools — not a job guarantee; not an application processor for third-party boards
- Employers: Hiring Fit + portal, cohort report/compliance export, free seats; decision support only (not sole hire/reject)
- Federal: Federal Fit for exploration / occupational-family research — not USAJOBS/OPM, not a qualification determination
- Ghost jobs: Direct Openings are employer-posted on RWC. Job tools also use a curated catalog. We do not currently call live USAJOBS/Jooble/CareerJet/Adzuna APIs.
