The note after a few days of talking to your AI. Tinted lines are what it added, the way Amber Notes shows an AI's changes, with Undo and the earlier version kept in the note's history.
What the prompt does
Your AI creates a note called “Job hunt” in your Personal folder, or finds the one you already have, and learns how to keep it. Every application, where it stands, and what happens next. Paste a job ad and your AI files it.
Paste it once into a chat in ChatGPT or Claude with Amber Notes turned on, or into Claude Code.
Then just talk to it

- What should I follow up on this week?
Show the full prompt
First, look for a note called "Job hunt" in my Amber Notes with search_notes. If there isn't one, create it with create_note in the folder "Personal", using exactly the markdown at the end of this message, the <!-- pane-table --> line included (it gives the table's columns their types).
Then: Use my Amber Notes note "Job hunt". When I paste a job ad or a link, add a row with log_table_row: Company, Role, Stage Saved, and the Link. When I tell you I applied or heard back, update that row's Stage and Next step with edit_note (read the note with read_note first). Before an interview, add five likely questions and my talking points under "Interview prep" with append_to_note, under a "###" heading with the company name. When I ask what's next, list the follow-ups under "This week" as a checklist.

The note you start with
This is what the prompt creates in Amber Notes: an ordinary note with the headings and the table ready. Your AI fills it in from there, and you can still edit every line yourself.
