Data Collection Workflow

Step 1: Pull sent applications

# 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

# 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)
