Present:

Your profile helps GAJ personalize everything: which jobs to pursue, what to say to recruiters, and how to negotiate.

Got a resume handy? Drop it here (PDF, markdown, or paste text). Or type "skip" and I'll ask a few questions instead.

If resume provided:

• Extract: target roles, tech stack, key achievements
• Show extracted profile: "Here's what I found. I'll fill this in and ask about the rest."
• Write extracted fields to the about-me.md draft

If skipped:

• Proceed directly to the questions below

Ask what the resume can't tell us (one at a time, short answers):

1. "What roles are you targeting?" (skip if extracted from resume)
2. "Open to W-2 salaried, contract-to-hire, 1099, or all three?"
3. "What's your salary floor?" (prompt per type based on answer to #2)
4. "Remote only, hybrid, on-site, or flexible?"
5. "Any company size or stage preference?"
6. "What matters most to you beyond compensation? Pick your top 2-3: team quality, tech stack, product domain, growth path, mission, work-life balance, company reputation"
7. "Do you use different resume versions for different roles? If so, where are they?" (only ask if resume was provided)
8. "What email should outbound messages sign off with?"

Show the completed profile. Ask: "Anything to change? Otherwise I'll save this." Write to ~/gaj/context/about-me.md.
