 Does it actually work?

I'm a geophysicist by training. When my position was cut in late 2025, I built this framework to run my own job search - the same /scrape, /apply, and /interview workflow in this repo, used weekly, on my own career. I was upfront about it with every employer I spoke to, and instead of counting against me, it usually sparked a genuine technical conversation.


  


Sixty-nine tailored applications, twenty first interviews, and one signed contract later, I started as an AI engineer in June 2026. People kept asking whether this actually works. It got me hired. Now it's yours.

The longer version, including the full application funnel, is on LinkedIn.


  Did this save you a Sunday of cover-letter writing? Consider a coffee.
  Did it land you the job? Maybe two. ☕



  
    
  


 What this is

A structured workflow that turns Claude Code into a full-stack job application assistant. Six commands carry you from an empty profile to a tracked result:


  


The core workflow (self-profiling, fit evaluation, and the drafter-reviewer application pipeline) is language- and country-agnostic. The job portal search skills are built for the Danish market (Jobindex, Jobnet, Akademikernes Jobbank, etc.), but the pattern is designed to be swapped for your local job boards.

The framework encodes career guidance best practices, including structured evaluation criteria, forward-looking cover letter framing, and optional salary benchmarking.

 Quick start

 🎥 Prefer to see it in action first? The Next New Thing did a hands-on walkthrough of how the workflow is actually used, from setup to a finished application (recorded August 2026 - commands may have evolved since).
