🚀 Quick Start

Career CRM is a local, privacy-first job search workspace.
Use it to track applications, preserve what you submitted, build stronger CV prompts, prepare for interviews, and manage your pipeline without accounts, subscriptions, or cloud storage.

Fastest application workflow

1. Find a role worth applying for
Copy the full job description before it disappears. The exact JD is useful for CV tailoring, interview prep, and future reference.

2. Use the CV Library
Store up to three reusable CV sources, such as Master CV, Leadership CV, and Technical CV. These are reusable source documents, not replacements for the exact submitted CV saved inside each job card.

3. Build the strongest role-specific CV prompt
Click ⭐ Build Strongest CV, select the CVs you want to use, paste the job description, then generate a prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, or another AI assistant.

💡 Tip: The generated prompt tells AI to think like a recruiter, preserve truthful evidence, protect certifications and metrics, build the strongest CV first, and suggest manual trims separately instead of deleting valuable proof automatically.

4. Apply properly from your computer
Tailor the CV, review it manually, apply through the company or job board, and keep a copy of exactly what you submitted.

5. Create or import the Career CRM card
Add the role manually or use AI with the exported Template Card JSON to create an importable Career CRM card. Use Import Card(s) so you do not replace your whole board.

6. Archive the exact application record
Paste the full job description, exact submitted CV text, exact cover letter, application questions and answers, recruiter notes, follow-up dates, and anything useful for interviews.

7. Prepare for interviews
Open the card and use Generate Interview Prep Prompt. When AI returns the interview prep JSON, use Import Interview Prep to store the prep pack directly inside the card.

8. Manage your pipeline visually
Use the board columns, List view, Analytics, Today’s Actions, and the new per-column Full Size / Compact toggles to control how much detail you see in each stage.

9. Back up regularly
Use Export Backup. Your data is stored locally in your browser, so backups are important.

That’s it — your applications are tracked, searchable, locally stored, backed up, and ready for interview preparation.

Welcome to Career CRM

Career CRM is a free, privacy-first local job search tracker built to help professionals manage applications, tailor CVs with AI, preserve what they submitted, prepare for interviews, and stay organized during a serious job search.

Everything stays on your device.

  • ✔ No login
  • ✔ No cloud storage
  • ✔ No subscriptions
  • ✔ No ads
  • ✔ Works directly in your browser
  • ✔ Designed to work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, and other AI tools

What’s new in v7.6

  • Per-column Compact View: Each board column now has its own Full Size / Compact toggle for easier scrolling when a column has many jobs.
  • Consistent compact cards: Compact mode shows the company, role, and date in a small card layout.
  • Rejected / Archived consistency: The closed column now behaves like every other column. You choose Full Size or Compact.
  • CV Library: Store up to three reusable CV source versions locally.
  • Build Strongest CV: Generate an AI-ready prompt that combines selected CVs with a job description.
  • Recruiter-minded CV prompt: The generated prompt tells AI to build a complete tailored CV while answering the questions recruiters and hiring managers actually care about.
  • Prompt guardrails: AI is instructed to preserve metrics, certifications, customer examples, qualifications, and truthful evidence instead of over-trimming or inventing.

Recommended workflow

1. Find a role
Focus on jobs that genuinely match your experience, strengths, values, and practical constraints.

2. Save the full job description
Job ads disappear. Save the exact wording so you can tailor your CV, prepare for interviews, and remember what you actually applied for.

3. Use the CV Library
Open the CV Library buttons and store up to three source CVs. A good setup might be:

  • Master CV — your core factual CV
  • Tailored CV 1 — a commercial / customer success version
  • Tailored CV 2 — a leadership / technical / operations version

These source CVs are reusable. Each job card still has its own Submitted CV section so you can preserve exactly what you sent for that application.

Build Strongest CV

Click ⭐ Build Strongest CV, choose one or more saved CVs, paste the full job description, and generate a prompt for your preferred AI assistant.

The generated prompt asks AI to:

  • Act like an experienced recruiter, hiring manager, and CV reviewer
  • Create a complete tailored CV first, not just a fit assessment
  • Answer the questions recruiters ask in the first 10 seconds
  • Lead the Professional Summary with problems solved, measurable outcomes, scope, and differentiators
  • Preserve truthful evidence, metrics, customer names, certifications, qualifications, and strong original wording where possible
  • Protect certification depth, such as multiple versions of the same certification or multiple leadership programs
  • Suggest manual trims separately if the CV is too long
Good input creates good output.
The stronger your source CVs are, the better the AI can mine them for achievements, credibility, metrics, and recruiter-friendly positioning.

Apply and preserve what you submitted

After applying, store the exact application record inside the card:

  • Full job description
  • Exact submitted CV text
  • Exact submitted cover letter text
  • Application questions and submitted answers
  • Recruiter or hiring manager notes
  • Follow-up dates and timeline updates

This makes the card a permanent application archive, not just a reminder that you applied.

Interview Prep

Open a card and use Generate Interview Prep Prompt. The prompt is designed to create a practical interview prep pack using the saved job description, submitted CV, cover letter, application notes, and card context.

Career CRM expects interview prep to be imported as interview prep JSON only. This protects the existing application card from being replaced accidentally.

Per-column Compact View

Each board column has its own Full Size / Compact toggle.

  • Full Size shows the normal detailed application cards.
  • Compact shows smaller cards with company, role, and date for easier scrolling.
  • Each column remembers its own preference locally.

This is useful when one column has many jobs but another column still needs full detail.

Career Workspace

Use Career Workspace for job-search notes that do not belong to one specific card: reminders, ideas, recruiter notes, companies to watch, salary thoughts, article ideas, or anything else you want to remember.

Import, merge, and backup

Import Backup restores a full backup and replaces the current board.

Import Card(s) adds or updates individual cards without replacing the whole dashboard. If a card already exists, Career CRM lets you merge, replace, duplicate, or skip it.

Export Backup downloads your full local data. Use it regularly. Career CRM stores data in your browser, so backups protect you if the browser profile, device, or local storage is lost.

Local storage note

Because Career CRM stores data in your browser, opening a newer HTML version in the same browser will usually show your existing data. To test a clean blank version, use another browser, incognito/private mode, or clear that browser’s local Career CRM data.

Interview Prep Prompt

Copy the ready-made prompt and paste it into a new AI chat session.

Interview prep prompt ready

Paste this into a new AI chat session for best results. The prompt includes the full Career CRM card context locally from this card.

Important: how to finish the workflow

Typical AI generation time: 15–25 minutes.

Because interview prep can be detailed, the AI may pause while generating. If it stops before all sections are complete, simply type:

continue

When all interview prep sections are finished, ask the AI:

“Using the full interview prep above, create the importable Career CRM Interview Prep JSON file only.”

Download the generated .json file and use 📥 Import / Replace Interview Prep inside this card. This workflow should not create, replace, merge, or duplicate a full Career CRM card.

This is generated locally from the selected card. Nothing is sent anywhere until you paste it into an AI assistant.

⭐ Build Strongest CV

Select one or more CVs, paste the job description, then generate a prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, or another AI tool.

Workflow: Select CVs → Paste JD → Generate Prompt → Copy into your preferred AI tool.
