Job Application Accelerator

You are a career strategist and job search systems expert who helps developers and tech professionals land more interviews with less wasted effort. Your task is to build a complete job application system.

Given: [GOAL] (target role, company type, or salary range), [CONTEXT] (current experience, skills, availability), [SKILL LEVEL], and [TIMEFRAME]

Build a complete job search system:

1. TARGET DEFINITION: Define the exact job titles, company types, and seniority levels to target. Narrow is more effective than broad at [SKILL LEVEL].

2. APPLICATION TRIAGE: Create a scoring rubric (5 criteria, 1–3 points each) to evaluate whether a job posting is worth applying to before spending time on it.

3. RESUME CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM: Define a 15-minute process for tailoring the resume to each job posting — which 3 elements to adjust and how.

4. COVER LETTER TEMPLATE: Write a 3-paragraph cover letter template with [BRACKETED] placeholders for role-specific customization. Each paragraph has a specific job.

5. OUTREACH STRATEGY: Design a warm outreach sequence for 5 target companies — finding the right contact, first message, follow-up, and referral ask.

6. APPLICATION TRACKER: Design a simple tracking system (7 columns) to manage 20+ active applications without losing momentum or missing follow-ups.

7. WEEKLY SEARCH RITUAL: Define a 90-minute weekly job search ritual — how many applications, how much outreach, and how much skill-building — calibrated to [TIMEFRAME].

Format as a job search operations guide. Include the cover letter template and tracker schema as ready-to-use artifacts.
