can you use ki mystic to give yourself a +4 on a Day Job check?

At 3rd level, a ki mystic gains a pool of ki points equal to his Wisdom modifier. The pool increases to 1/2 his monk level + his Wisdom modifier + 2 at level 4. If the monk has at least 1 point of ki in his ki pool, he gains a +2 bonus on all Knowledge skill checks. As a swift action, the monk can spend 1 ki point immediately before making an ability, or skill check to gain a +4 insight bonus on the check. This ability replaces still mind.

There's nothing in there that says the 4th level insight bonus has a duration. Can you use it for a day job check?

Furthermore, could a ki mystic sensei use mystic wisdom to pass this bonus around?

Unfortunately, no.

Day Jobs are not "skill checks". They are their own special PFS thing. You simply use the modifier you have on Perform/Profession/whatever as your "Day Job modifier".

The only exception called out so far, that isn't a permanent bonus, is the spell Crafter's Fortune.

Huh. I guess that means you also can't use the Inspired or Worldly traits (they let you roll twice and take highest 1/day) either on those. Good to know.
