Looking for a job
Say once what you want. Your assistant finds and screens the openings, drafts what each one asks for, and applies to the ones you approve.
The situation
Sofia is a product manager looking for her next role. The listings are spread over a dozen boards and careers sites, most of them are wrong for her, and every application asks the same twenty questions in a different form. The searching and the form-filling eat the time that should go into the few applications worth making well.
Handing it over
You: Here’s my CV and my LinkedIn. I’m looking for a senior product role in Berlin, permanent.
Assistant: A few questions first, one at a time. What’s the lowest salary you’d take?
You: 85,000.
Assistant: And anywhere you wouldn’t work?
You: No crypto.
Assistant: Your brief is written. I’ll search the job boards and careers sites until I have ten worth your look, each with a cover letter drafted where it asks for one.
Her CV, what she wants and what she won’t do are written down once. Every search from then on starts from them, and so does every application.
Sofia decides
Her assistant reads each opening against her brief and keeps only the ones worth her time, with why they match and what might not. Then it opens her shortlist:
Round 2: your shortlist
Nine worth your look, out of 140 openings read. Two applications are waiting on an answer only you can give.
- Senior PM · payments scale-upStrong
Owns checkout. Your two years on payments match every must-have. Cover letter drafted.
- Product lead · mobility appPossible
Concern: asks for fluent German; your CV says conversational.
Applications are asking
- What is your notice period?Answer
Sofia’s comment: “No roles that are mostly delivery management.”
She approves the payments role with her own edit to the letter, approves the mobility one anyway, and answers the notice-period question. Her approval is the go-ahead to apply, and nothing else is. Her comment goes into the brief, so the next round stops proposing that kind of role.
The next evening
The next evening, a new chat
You: Apply to the two I approved.
Assistant: The payments role is filed, with your edited letter. The mobility company’s careers site needs an account: create one in your browser and I’ll carry on from there.
Each application follows that posting’s own instructions, in Sofia’s name, and never says anything about her that she hasn’t said herself. Her notice period is stored now, so no application will ask her again.
Better every round
Every round starts from the ones before: what she approved, what she turned down and why, every answer she has given. The tenth round is aimed far better than the first, and Sofia never repeats herself.
