# Job Applications

| Date Added | Date Applied | Company | Role | Score | Status | Evaluation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

"Your tracker is empty. Evaluate a job posting to get started, or paste a JD and I'll score it for you."

Step 1: Parse User Intent

• No argument / "show tracker" / "my applications": Display full table + stats
• Status filter ("show applied" / "what's in interview"): Filter by status
• Company filter ("show Stripe"): Filter by company name
• Update ("update Acme PM to Interview"): Change status of matching row
• Stats ("how's my search going" / "search stats"): Show summary statistics
• Delete ("remove the Acme entry"): Confirm, then remove row

Step 2: Display

Full View

Filtered View

"Showing {n} applications with status '{status}'."

Update Flow

1. Find the matching row (by company + role, fuzzy match OK)
2. Show current status and proposed new status
3. Ask for confirmation:

   "Update {Company} - {Role} from {old status} to {new status}?"

4. On confirmation, update the row
5. If transitioning to "Applied", set Date Applied to today
6. If transitioning to "Accepted", congratulate them!

"Can't move from {old} to {new}. Valid next steps: {list}."

Step 3: Statistics

## Your Job Search Dashboard

| Metric | Count |
|---|---|
| Total evaluated | {n} |
| Resumes tailored | {n with status >= Resume Ready} |
| Applied | {n} |
| Response rate | {responses / applied}% |
| Interviews | {n} |
| Offers | {n} |
| Average score (applied) | {avg}/5.0 |
| Active (not resolved) | {n non-terminal} |

**Top scoring opportunities:**
1. {Company} - {Role} ({score}/5.0) - {status}
2. ...
3. ...

**Needs attention (applied but no response > 7 days):**
- {Company} - {Role} - applied {date}

"You have {n} evaluations scoring 3.5+ without a tailored resume. Want me to create one? Say 'tailor my resume for {top company}'."

Step 4: Suggest Next Actions

• Mostly "Evaluated": "You've got evaluations but haven't applied to many. Want me to tailor resumes for your top-scored roles?"
• Several "Applied" with no updates: "Time for follow-ups? I can draft outreach messages to check in on your applications."
• Has "Interview": "Great, you have interviews! Want me to research {company} to help you prepare?"
• Everything terminal: "Your current batch is wrapped up. Ready to scan for new opportunities?"
