## Does it actually work?
I'm a geophysicist by training. When my position was cut in late 2025, I built this framework to run my own job search - the same `/scrape`, `/apply`, and `/interview` workflow in this repo, used weekly, on my own career. I was upfront about it with every employer I spoke to, and instead of counting against me, it usually sparked a genuine technical conversation.
Sixty-nine tailored applications, twenty first interviews, and one signed contract later, I started as an AI engineer in June 2026. People kept asking whether this actually works. It got me hired. Now it's yours.
