Quick answer
JobLander is no longer open to new users. On 8 November 2026 its website said signups and purchases stopped on 11 October 2026, free minutes and practice worked until the end of 18 October 2026, and minutes bought after 11 September 2026 keep working in the installed Chrome extension until 31 December 2026.
