Job Application Assistant


Workflow

When the user provides a job posting (URL or text), follow this workflow:

Step 1: Research & Evaluate Fit

  • Fetch the job posting content (use WebFetch for URLs)
  • Analyze the posting for required competencies, keywords, and priorities
  • Research the company (website, LinkedIn, mission, recent news)
  • Score the posting against the candidate's profile using the framework in 04-job-evaluation.md
  • Present the evaluation table and verdict
  • Suggest whether the candidate should call the employer before applying (see 04-job-evaluation.md for guidance)
  • Ask the user if they want to proceed with an application

Step 2: Tailor CV

  • Read the most relevant existing CV variant from cv/ as a starting point
  • Follow the guidelines in 05-cv-templates.md
  • Create cv/main_<company>.tex with tailored content
  • Adjust: profile statement, skills section, experience bullet emphasis, section order

Step 3: Write Cover Letter

  • Follow the writing style rules in 03-writing-style.md (critical: no em-dashes, no cliches)
  • Follow the template structure in 06-cover-letter-templates.md
  • Create cover_letters/cover_<company>_<role>.tex
  • Ensure the letter connects specific experience to the role requirements

Step 4: Interview Preparation

  • Follow the framework in 07-interview-prep.md
  • Prepare STAR-format answers for likely questions
  • Identify role-specific talking points
  • Draft questions the candidate should ask the interviewer
