Job Search Report Generator

Analyzes Gmail history to generate a complete job search progress report.

Prerequisites

gog authenticated with Gmail:

bash

gog auth add [e-mail] --services gmail

When to Activate

• "生成求职报告"、"job search summary"、"show me my application status"
• "我投了哪些公司"、"how many companies have I applied to"
• "求职进展怎么样"、"create a job search dashboard"

Data Collection Workflow

Step 1: Pull sent applications

bash

# Find all job application emails sent
gog gmail messages search "in:sent (application OR resume OR apply OR applying OR interested in the position) newer_than:90d" \
  --max 100 \
  --account [e-mail] \
  --json

Step 2: Pull all replies received

bash

# Find all recruiter/HR replies
gog gmail messages search "in:inbox (interview OR application OR resume OR opportunity OR position OR hiring OR recruiter) newer_than:90d" \
  --max 100 \
  --account [e-mail] \
  --json

Step 3: Cross-reference and build application map

For each sent application, find matching replies by:

• Matching domain (sent to [e-mail] → replies from *@company.com)
• Matching subject thread (Re: prefix)
• Date ordering (reply must be after application)
