Every morning used to look the same: scroll LinkedIn alerts -> open a JD -> tailor my resume -> Easy Apply or an external form -> repeat. Lots of context-switching, easy to miss steps, and hard to track what I already applied to.
So I documented the whole process in a resume + application workspace:
What the agent does
What I still do
What’s in the repo
base-resume.md
— single source of truth
RUNBOOK.md
— step-by-step daily batch
jobs/<company-role>/
— JD, analysis, tailored resume, PDF
applications.csv
+ queue — no duplicate applies
One prompt to start the day:
Run today's job application batch per RUNBOOK.md
It’s not “auto-apply everything.” It’s prep at machine speed, decisions at human speed - which is how I want to job search as a PM.
If you’re job hunting with Cursor, I’d start with a runbook + a base resume + a hard rule: never submit without you.
