## Quick answer

Start with an accurate base resume and a narrow role target. Meteor AI supports matching and application workflows, but supported employers and application paths vary. Review each role and final document before approving submission.

## When to use it

- Focused job-search batches
- Application follow-up tracking

## Steps

1. **Set factual profile boundaries** — Create a verified base resume and list target role, location, salary range, and work authorization exactly as they are. Mark private details that should stay out of applications. Tool: Notion. Expected output: A verified resume and target criteria
2. **Select five suitable roles** — Review Meteor AI matches against the employer's current job page. Confirm the opening, requirements, location, and supported submission route. Exclude jobs with major unmet requirements or unclear employers. Tool: Meteor AI. Expected output: A five-role shortlist with source URLs
3. **Approve the tailored resume** — Generate a tailored draft from the verified resume. Compare every skill, date, title, and achievement with the original. Edit application answers yourself where personal judgment is needed, then approve the final PDF and destination. Tool: Meteor AI. Expected output: An approved resume and application answers
4. **Record confirmed submissions** — Approve a small supported application batch and inspect the submission result or employer confirmation. Log draft, queued, submitted, and failed states separately with dates. Inbox linking is optional; manual status updates are sufficient to start. Tool: Google Sheets. Expected output: A dated application and follow-up log

## Prompt templates

### Prompt to adapt

Compare [job description] with [verified resume]. Return evidenced matches, genuine gaps, and wording changes using only existing facts. Do not invent experience, credentials, salary, or work authorization. List questions I must answer before applying.

## Common mistakes

- Treating queued applications as submitted
- Allowing resume tailoring to invent qualifications
