# Job Application Framework - Instructions for Claude Code
|
||||
|
||||
This directory contains the Job Application Framework (Bewerbungszauberer), designed to help create tailored CVs, cover letters, and application emails using Claude Code.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Principle: Profile as Source of Truth
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT**: When the user requests help with ANY job application task (CV, cover letter, email, or application advice), you MUST:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Always read `profile.md` first** - This file contains the applicant's verified personal and professional information
|
||||
2. **Use ONLY information from `profile.md`** - Never fabricate, assume, or hallucinate details about the applicant
|
||||
3. **Maintain consistency** - All generated documents must align with the information in `profile.md`
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Read the Profile
|
||||
|
||||
Read `profile.md` automatically when the user asks for help with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Creating or tailoring a CV/resume
|
||||
- Writing a cover letter
|
||||
- Drafting an application email
|
||||
- Customizing application documents for a specific job
|
||||
- Reviewing or improving existing application materials
|
||||
- Extracting relevant experience or skills for a position
|
||||
- Advice on how to position themselves for a role
|
||||
|
||||
## Job Application Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
When helping with job applications, follow this workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Research & Context
|
||||
- Read the job description provided by the user
|
||||
- Extract key requirements, skills, and keywords
|
||||
- Analyze the company culture from the job posting language
|
||||
- Read `profile.md` to understand what the applicant brings
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Match & Strategy
|
||||
- Identify which of the applicant's experiences (from `profile.md`) best match the job requirements
|
||||
- Determine which skills and projects to emphasize
|
||||
- Decide on the appropriate tone (formal, balanced, or casual) based on company culture
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Content Generation
|
||||
- Generate CV/cover letter/email based on the strategy
|
||||
- Emphasize relevant experience from `profile.md`
|
||||
- Incorporate keywords from the job description naturally
|
||||
- Maintain factual accuracy - use only verified information from `profile.md`
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Quality Assurance
|
||||
- Verify all company names, dates, and facts are correct
|
||||
- Ensure consistency between all documents (CV ↔ cover letter ↔ email)
|
||||
- Check that tone matches the target company culture
|
||||
- Confirm ATS optimization if applicable (simple formatting, keywords, standard sections)
|
||||
|
||||
## Document Standards
|
||||
|
||||
### CV/Resume
|
||||
- Use information from relevant sections of `profile.md`
|
||||
- Tailor the professional summary to the specific role
|
||||
- Emphasize experiences and skills that match job requirements
|
||||
- Keep formatting simple and ATS-friendly
|
||||
- Use quantifiable achievements when available
|
||||
|
||||
### Cover Letter
|
||||
- Structure: Opening → Why this role → What you bring → Cultural fit → Closing
|
||||
- Length: Aim for 1 page (3-4 paragraphs)
|
||||
- Tone: Match company culture (formal/balanced/casual)
|
||||
- Personalize: Reference specific aspects of the job/company
|
||||
- Connect: Link applicant's experience to job requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### Application Email
|
||||
- Keep it short (3-4 sentences maximum)
|
||||
- Subject line: Clear and professional
|
||||
- Body: Brief introduction, reference to attached documents, expression of interest
|
||||
- Professional signature using contact info from `profile.md`
|
||||
|
||||
## Cultural Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
This framework is designed with the German job market in mind:
|
||||
|
||||
- More formal tone is often expected
|
||||
- Detailed work history with exact dates is valued
|
||||
- Certificates and credentials are highly regarded
|
||||
- A professional photo on CV may be common (user's choice)
|
||||
|
||||
Adjust recommendations based on the target market if the user specifies a different region.
|
||||
|
||||
## Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
**Data Privacy**:
|
||||
- All information stays local - only API calls to Claude use the data
|
||||
- Never suggest uploading sensitive personal data to third-party services
|
||||
- Respect GDPR and data protection principles
|
||||
|
||||
**Accuracy & Honesty**:
|
||||
- NEVER fabricate experience, skills, or achievements
|
||||
- If `profile.md` lacks information needed for a job application, ask the user to update `profile.md` first
|
||||
- Be transparent about what can and cannot be emphasized from the applicant's background
|
||||
|
||||
**Quality Standards**:
|
||||
- All generated content is a DRAFT - user must review and approve
|
||||
- Fact-check company names, contact persons, and details from job postings
|
||||
- Maintain consistency across all documents for a single application
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
**User**: "Help me apply for this software engineering position at TechCorp [paste job description]"
|
||||
|
||||
**Claude Code should**:
|
||||
1. Read `profile.md` to load applicant information
|
||||
2. Analyze the job description for requirements and culture
|
||||
3. Identify matching experiences and skills from the profile
|
||||
4. Ask clarifying questions: "Would you like me to create a CV, cover letter, or both?"
|
||||
5. Generate tailored documents using only information from `profile.md`
|
||||
6. Ensure all documents are consistent and factually accurate
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating the Profile
|
||||
|
||||
If you notice missing or outdated information during application preparation:
|
||||
- Inform the user which sections of `profile.md` need updates
|
||||
- Ask them to update `profile.md` first before generating documents
|
||||
- This ensures the profile remains the single source of truth
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Remember**: The quality of output depends on the quality of `profile.md`. Encourage users to keep it complete, accurate, and up to date.
