Frequently asked questions

How does Civil Service Jobs count words?

Like most word counters: words separated by spaces. Hyphenated words and numbers count as one word each. Text past the limit is cut off, so stay at or under it.

Why does “I” vs “we” matter?

Panels can only score what you did. “We” hides your part, so a statement that is mostly “we” usually scores lower even when the example is good.

Is my text stored?

No. The counter runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to run a full check.
