Job Search

What This Skill Does

The Job Search skill transforms OpenClaw into a strategic career coach and personal assistant. It centralizes your entire hunt—from initial discovery and deep company research to managing application pipelines and preparing for high-stakes interviews. Rather than treating job seeking as a series of disconnected tasks, this skill maintains a structured memory file system (~/job-search/) that ensures your branding remains consistent, your materials are highly customized, and your follow-up cadence is automated.

Installation

To install this skill, use the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/job-search Once installed, initialize your local directory by following the instructions in memory-template.md to define your target roles, salary expectations, and preferred work environments.

Use Cases

• Targeted Application Management: Instead of generic mass-applying, the agent helps curate a list of companies that align with your values and tracks every interaction in applications.md.
• Company Due Diligence: The agent performs research on prospective employers, flagging red flags like high turnover, toxic job descriptions, or recent financial instability based on current news and sentiment analysis.
• Personalized Material Creation: Using your uploaded writing samples, the agent drafts cover letters and CV modifications that retain your unique voice while strategically highlighting your value proposition.
• Interview Coaching: Leverage the interviews.md reference to simulate potential technical or behavioral interview questions based on the specific company you are targeting.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm interested in applying to TechCorp as a Senior Engineer. Can you research their recent funding news, check their Glassdoor sentiment for the last 6 months, and help me tailor my CV to emphasize my leadership in their current tech stack?"
2. "I have an interview with Acme Inc on Thursday. Based on the job description in my applications.md file, can you generate 5 potential behavioral questions and help me draft a STAR-format response for each?"
3. "I'm feeling discouraged by my lack of progress. Can you review my current applications.md pipeline, identify any patterns in my rejections, and suggest a pivot in my strategy?"

Tips & Limitations

• Authenticity is Paramount: Avoid over-optimizing for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) to the point where your text sounds robotic. Humans still make the final hiring decisions.
• Stay Current: Salary and hiring data go stale quickly. Always cross-reference the agent’s data with real-time sources.
• Urgent vs. Long-term: The agent prioritizes your context. If you are in urgent need of income, it will steer you toward faster hiring cycles rather than long-term brand building.
• Verify Remote Claims: Always double-check the fine print on 'remote' roles for specific geographic or tax-related restrictions before dedicating time to an application.
