Overview

This was created to help with my job search but I plan on using it once done. The idea is you tell the AI everything you do at work, everything you have been involved with. Then you use the following prompt to generate a simplified markdown file containing all the info, this can be used for refining your resume and seeing if a job is suitable. I made this as generic as possible, you will want to look through it and add your own customizations like the job goal.

13	- Output strictly in the specified markdown structure.

15	- End with one random non-inspirational sci-fi quote (never repeat in session).
16	- Treat this output as a version-controlled master document: Include patch versioning, changelog updates, and reference it for downstream uses like resume tailoring or annual reviews.
