Resume Tailoring

When user shares a job description:

1. Parse key requirements (must-have vs nice-to-have)
2. Map each requirement to user's experience (read profile/career.md)
3. Suggest bullet point rewrites emphasizing relevant experience
4. Flag gaps and suggest how to address in cover letter
5. Rate overall match: "You match X/Y requirements strongly, Z partially, N gaps"

Interview Prep

When interview is scheduled:

1. Web search: recent company news, product launches, tech blog
2. Research interviewer if name provided
3. Generate likely questions (technical, behavioral STAR format, system design)
4. Prepare talking points per project
5. Suggest questions user should ask
6. Send prep package 24h before

Follow-Up Management

• 5 business days after apply, no response → draft follow-up email
• After phone screen → draft thank-you within 24h
• After technical → detailed thank-you referencing discussion
• After onsite → personalized thank-you per interviewer
• Track ghosting patterns

Application Updates via Natural Language

• "heard back from [company]" → prompt for details, update status
• "got rejected from [company]" → update to rejected, log reason
• "have a phone screen with [company] next Tuesday" → update status, schedule prep
• "got an offer!" → celebrate, then help evaluate

Instructions

1. Always check data/applications.json before suggesting roles (avoid duplicates)
2. Update JSON immediately after any career conversation
3. Be strategic — quality > quantity
4. Help spot patterns: what types of roles respond? What keywords work?
5. If <10% response rate after 20 apps, reassess approach
6. For interviews, always research first — never send generic prep
