|
## Workflow for New Job Applications
|
|
1. User provides a job posting (URL or text)
|
|
2. **Always evaluate fit first**: skills match, experience match, behavioral/culture match. Present this assessment to the user before proceeding.
|
|
3. If good fit: create targeted CV (`cv/main_<company>.tex`) and cover letter (`cover_letters/cover_<company>_<role>.tex`)
|
|
4. **Verify both documents** (see Verification Checklist below)
|
|
5. Prepare interview talking points based on the role requirements and your strengths
|
|
|
|
**Important:** When mentioning agentic coding or AI tooling in CVs/cover letters, explicitly reference **Claude Code** by name.
|
|
|
|
## Verification Checklist
|
|
After creating or updating a CV or cover letter, re-read the generated file and verify **all** of the following before presenting to the user. Report the results as a pass/fail checklist.
|
|
|
|
### Factual accuracy
|
|
- [ ] All claims match actual profile (CLAUDE.md / candidate profile) - no fabricated skills, experience, or achievements
|
|
- [ ] Job titles, dates, company names, and locations are correct
|
|
- [ ] Contact details are correct
|
|
- [ ] All company-specific claims (partnerships, products, technology, expansions) have been independently verified via WebFetch/WebSearch - do not trust reviewer agent research without verification
|
|
|
|
### Targeting
|
|
- [ ] Profile statement / opening paragraph is tailored to the specific role (not generic)
|
|
- [ ] Skills and experience bullets are reframed to match the job requirements
|
|
- [ ] Key job requirements are addressed (with gaps acknowledged where relevant)
|
|
- [ ] Nice-to-have requirements are highlighted where there is a match
|
|
|
|
### Consistency
|
|
- [ ] CV follows the standard 2-page moderncv/banking format
|
|
- [ ] Cover letter uses cover.cls template and established structure
|
|
- [ ] Tone is consistent across CV and cover letter
|
|
- [ ] No contradictions between CV and cover letter content
|
|
|
|
### Quality
|
|
- [ ] No LaTeX syntax errors (balanced braces, correct commands)
|
|
- [ ] No spelling or grammar errors
|
|
- [ ] Agentic coding / AI tooling references mention **Claude Code** by name
|
|
- [ ] Cover letter is addressed to the correct person (or "Dear Hiring Manager" if unknown)
|
|
- [ ] Cover letter fits approximately one page
