I chose the word "Powerup" (as opposed to "Power Up") because it means a thing that gives you a boost. I am building this community to be a resource for job seekers and to give them an advantage to find new opportunities.

- Refers to the thing that gives you the boost — the tool, resource, or advantage.
- Common in gaming: a special item that gives a temporary advantage (speed boost, extra life, shield).
