Consider a career-ops layer for ongoing job-search workflow #1

Description

@luochen211

Hi! First off, I really like the way this toolkit splits the job-search flow into JD decoding, resume tailoring, and BQ/story-bank preparation. That maps well to the candidate journey.

One adjacent idea you may want to reference is a more "career operations" style layer: https://github.com/luochen211/career-ops

The reason I think it could fit this project: Offer Toolkit currently feels strong at the per-artifact / per-session level: analyze this JD, improve this resume, prepare these behavioral stories. Career-Ops explores the next layer up: treating the job search as an ongoing pipeline with durable state.

Possible ideas worth borrowing or adapting:

  • Application pipeline / tracker: keep a persistent source of truth for roles, scores, status, reports, PDFs, follow-ups, and next actions.
  • System vs user data boundary: separate reusable skill logic/templates from personal candidate data, so the toolkit can update without overwriting a user's resume, story bank, application history, or preferences.
  • Story bank as long-lived data: BQ prep becomes more powerful when STAR/CAR stories accumulate across applications and can be remapped to new companies/questions later.
  • Company-specific interview prep: after a role reaches interview stage, generate role/company-specific prep using the JD analysis, resume proof points, existing story bank, and recruiter/hiring-manager/peer-audience framing.
  • Optional operational tooling: scanner, liveness checks for job postings, follow-up cadence, and a lightweight dashboard/tracker could be optional rather than part of the core skill.

I don't think Offer Toolkit needs to become a full job-search automation system. But a small "operations layer" could make the three existing skills compound over time instead of producing one-off outputs.

Happy to clarify the workflow if useful. Thanks for open-sourcing this!
