+# Build Resume Workflow
+
+Quick reference guide for building customized resumes and cover letters for job applications.
+
+---
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+All job applications follow this standardized structure:
+
+```
+applications/
+└── company-name/
+    └── position-slug/
+        ├── paul-halvorsen-resume.md
+        ├── paul-halvorsen-resume.pdf
+        ├── paul-halvorsen-cover-letter.md
+        ├── paul-halvorsen-cover-letter.pdf
+        └── job-breakdown.md (analysis & strategy)
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+- `applications/zapier/backend-engineer/`
+- `applications/stripe/backend-engineer/`
+- `applications/files/senior-backend-engineer/`
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start (2 minutes)
+
+### Invoke the Skill
+
+```
+/build-resume [paste job description or provide details]
+```
+
+The `/build-resume` skill will:
+1. Check if you've already applied (prevents duplicates)
+2. Create the directory structure
+3. Analyze the job requirements
+4. Generate customized resume and cover letter
+5. Create `job-breakdown.md` with strategy notes
+6. Build PDFs automatically
+
+---
+
+## Manual Build Process
+
+If creating files manually instead of using `/build-resume`:
+
+### Step 1: Create Directory
+```bash
+mkdir -p applications/company/position
+```
+
+### Step 2: Create Resume Markdown
+File: `applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-resume.md`
+
+Copy the YAML template from `YAML-TEMPLATE.md` and add customized content.
+
+### Step 3: Create Cover Letter Markdown
+File: `applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-cover-letter.md`
+
+Use the same YAML template header.
+
+### Step 4: Build PDFs
+
+**Modern template (recommended for tech companies):**
+```bash
+make resume-modern FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-resume
+make resume-modern FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-cover-letter
+```
+
+**Classic template (for traditional industries):**
+```bash
+make resume FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-resume
+make resume FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-cover-letter
+```
+
+**Awesome-CV template (for startups/bold designs):**
+```bash
+make resume-awesome FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-resume
+make resume-awesome FILE_NAME=applications/company/position/paul-halvorsen-cover-letter
+```
+
+---
+

+
+---
+
+## Post-Build Checklist (After Creating Resume)
+
+### ✅ File Organization

+
+## Template Selection Guide
+
+| Template | Best For | Industry Examples |
+|----------|----------|------------------|
+| **jb2resume-modern** | Tech companies, startups | Stripe, GitLab, Zapier |
+| **jb2resume** | Traditional industries | Banks, gov, established corps |
+| **awesome-cv** | Growth-stage startups | Series A-C companies, design-forward |
+
+---
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+### View Help
+```bash
+make help
+```
+
+### Clean Build Artifacts
+```bash
+make clean                    # Remove LaTeX logs
+make cleanpaper              # Remove specific PDF
+make cleanall                # Remove everything
+```
+
+### Build from Detailed Resume
+All customized resumes draw facts from:
+```
+/home/paul/Public/resume/paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md
+```
+
+This is your source of truth for metrics, roles, and achievements.
+
+---
+
+## Finding Job Postings
+
+See: `JOB-BOARDS-TO-SEARCH.md` (in parent resume directory)
+
+Quick reference:
+- **Daily:** WeWorkRemotely, RemoteOK, Built In
+- **Weekly:** LinkedIn, Indeed, Cord.co, specialized boards
+- **Monthly:** Secondary boards, target company careers pages
+
+---
+
+## Application Follow-Up
+
+After building and submitting:
+
+1. **LinkedIn connection:** Connect with hiring manager, mention your application
+2. **Calendar reminder:** Set 1-week follow-up for non-responses
+3. **Track responses:** Update job search dashboard with status
+4. **Interview prep:** Review job-breakdown.md talking points
+5. **Salary expectations:** Reference notes in job-breakdown.md
+
+---
+
+## Common Customizations
+
+### Reordering Work Experience
+Move most relevant role to top. Example: For Zapier backend engineer role, list Abnormal AI before Binary Defense because K8s/API experience is more directly relevant.
+
+### Emphasizing Specific Skills
+If role requires Kubernetes: mention "10 auto-scaling K8s clusters" in summary and relevant bullet. If role emphasizes API design: lead with REST API experience.
+
+### Addressing Gaps
+Use cover letter to honestly address missing technologies:
+- "I haven't worked with [tech], but I'm fluent in [similar tech] and have quickly mastered new frameworks."
+- Example: Django gap → "Python expert, REST APIs are my core strength, DRF is learnable"
+
+### Metrics Worth Highlighting
+From your background:
+- 10 K8s clusters (Abnormal AI)
+- 90% CPU reduction (Binary Defense)
+- 80% network optimization (Binary Defense)
+- Thousands of Fortune 500 endpoints (Binary Defense)
+- Thousands of records at scale (NSA)
+- 15+ years API development (career)
+

+# YAML Metadata Template
+
+Copy this template into the top of every customized resume and cover letter markdown file.
+
+## Standard Template
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: Paul Halvorsen
+keywords: backend engineer, api design, python, [ADD ROLE-SPECIFIC KEYWORDS]
+left-column:
+    - "Email: paul.halvorsen@pm.me"
+    - "Phone: +1-410-236-4665"
+right-column:
+    - "GitHub: github.com/malwhile"
+    - "LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/paul-halvorsen"
+    - "Blog: flow.halvo.me"
+fontsize: 10pt
+fontenc: T1
+urlcolor: blue
+linkcolor: magenta
+numbersections: false
+---
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Quoted Strings (CRITICAL)
+- **All contact info must be quoted** to avoid YAML parsing issues
+- Format: `"Label: value"`
+- ✓ Correct: `- "Email: paul.halvorsen@pm.me"`
+- ❌ Wrong: `- Email: paul.halvorsen@pm.me`
+
+### Keywords
+- Add role-specific keywords to improve ATS matching
+- Examples:
+  - Backend role: `backend engineer, python, api design, rest api, distributed systems, kubernetes`
+  - Full-stack role: `full-stack engineer, python, react, javascript, frontend, backend`
+  - Security role: `security engineer, python, cryptography, authentication, oauth`

+
+### Font & Color Options
+These are sensible defaults. Rarely need to change:
+- `fontsize: 10pt` — standard resume font size
+- `fontenc: T1` — font encoding for special characters
+- `urlcolor: blue` — hyperlink color
+- `linkcolor: magenta` — cross-reference link color
+- `numbersections: false` — don't number resume sections
+
+### Optional: Add Name Color
+```yaml
+name-color: DarkSlateGray
+```
+SVG color names work: `DarkSlateGray`, `Tomato`, `DodgerBlue`, etc.
+
+### Optional: Add Section Header Color
+```yaml
+section-color: Tomato
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example Customizations
+
+### Backend Engineer Focus

+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before using the template:
+- [ ] All contact info is quoted with "Label: value" format
+- [ ] Keywords are comma-separated
+- [ ] Email is paul.halvorsen@pm.me
+- [ ] Phone is +1-410-236-4665
+- [ ] GitHub is github.com/malwhile
+- [ ] LinkedIn is linkedin.com/in/paul-halvorsen (no https://)
+- [ ] Blog is flow.halvo.me (if including)
+- [ ] No "Citizen of the United States" in right-column
+- [ ] No generic "Remote" keyword unless job-specific
+- [ ] fontsize, fontenc, urlcolor, linkcolor match defaults
+
+---
+
+## Date Formatting
+
+Use the `\resumedate{}` macro for smaller dates under section headers:
+
+```markdown
+### Software Engineer | Abnormal AI
+\resumedate{**January 2026 – Present**}
+```
+
+This makes dates visually distinct from section headers while keeping them readable.
+
+---
+
+## After YAML Metadata
+
+Start your resume or cover letter content immediately after the closing `---`:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: Paul Halvorsen
+...
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+[Your summary content here]
+
+## Technical Skills
+
+[Skills content here]

+left-column:
+    - "Email: paul.halvorsen@pm.me"
+    - "Phone: +1-410-236-4665"

+- Include GitHub link
+- Include LinkedIn (preferred over "Remote" keyword)
+- Blog link is optional
+- Do NOT include "Citizen of the United States" in right-column for job resumes
+- Use format: `"Label: value"` (quoted entire string)
+
+## Dates Formatting
+
+Use the `\resumedate{}` macro to make dates smaller than headers:
+
+```markdown
+### Job Title | Company
+\resumedate{**January 2026 – Present**}
+```
+
+## Building PDFs
+
+### Classic Template
+```bash
+make resume FILE_NAME=company/job-title/paul-halvorsen-resume
+make resume FILE_NAME=company/job-title/paul-halvorsen-cover-letter
+```
+
+### Modern Template (Recommended)
+```bash
+make resume-modern FILE_NAME=company/job-title/paul-halvorsen-resume
+make resume-modern FILE_NAME=company/job-title/paul-halvorsen-cover-letter
+```
+
+### Awesome-CV Template
+```bash
+make resume-awesome FILE_NAME=company/job-title/paul-halvorsen-resume
+make resume-awesome FILE_NAME=company/job-title/paul-halvorsen-cover-letter
+```
+
+## Resume Customization Strategy
+
+1. **Lead with relevant technical skills** from job description
+2. **Reorder work experience** (most relevant first)
+3. **Highlight metrics** from roles that match JD requirements
+4. **Frame gaps honestly** in cover letter (e.g., "I haven't worked with X, but...")
+5. **De-emphasize Sr/Staff titles** when applying to mid-level roles
+
+## CRITICAL: No Fabrication Rule
+
+**BLOCKING REQUIREMENT:** All numbers and metrics must come from `paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md`.
+
+### Pre-Write Checklist
+For every bullet point with a number:
+- [ ] Is this in `paul-halvorsen-resume-detailed.md`?
+- [ ] If NO: remove it or rephrase without the number
+- [ ] If YES: use the exact number/metric
+
+### Allowed
+- Reordering existing information
+- Reframing for clarity
+- Removing less relevant details
+- Using exact metrics from detailed resume
+
+### Not Allowed
+- Inventing metrics
+- Making up achievements
+- Exaggerating scales or customer counts
+- Creating statistics not documented
+
+### Examples
+- ✓ "Performance improvements: reduced CPU usage ~90%" (IS in detailed resume)
+- ✓ "10 auto-scaling clusters" (IS in detailed resume)
+- ✓ "Customers: thousands of Fortune 500 endpoints" (IS in detailed resume)
+- ❌ "$9 trillion in assets" (NOT in detailed resume)
+- ❌ "40+ engineers" (NOT in detailed resume)
+
+## Cover Letter Approach
+
+- **Be upfront about gaps** (e.g., "I haven't worked professionally with C#")
+- **Emphasize transferable skills** and learning ability
+- **Address company mission** (e.g., travel industry, fintech, etc.)
+- **Frame intentional career moves** (e.g., moving away from on-call work to sustainable roles)
+- Keep tone professional, confident, and honest—not defensive
+
+## Key Clarifications from Paul's Background
+
+### CompTIA Security+ Certification
+- **Status:** Expired 04/04/2024 (no longer active)
+- **Note:** Do NOT list as active in resumes
+
+### NSA Experience - Database Scale
+- **Database:** Thousands of records (not hundreds of thousands)
+- Use in resume: "thousands of records" or similar
+
+### Language Learning Capability
+- Paul has mastered 5+ languages (Rust, Python, C, GoLang, Java)
+- Use when applying to roles with unfamiliar tech stacks
+- Frame as evidence of quick learning ability
+
+### Tech Stack Preferences
+- **Primary:** Backend, systems programming, security
+- **Secondary:** Full-stack if learning opportunity (new languages/frameworks)
+- **Avoid:** Emphasis on junior mentoring, heavy management
+
+## ATS Optimization
+
+- Aim for 75-85% keyword match with job description
+- Include role-specific technologies in skills section
+- Use exact terminology from JD where possible
+- Avoid creative formatting that breaks ATS parsing
+
+## Application Workflow
+
+1. Use `/build-resume [job description]` to generate customized documents
+2. Review job-breakdown.md for fit assessment and strategy
+3. Update applications_tracker.md to log the application
+4. Build PDFs using appropriate template
+5. Verify position on company careers page
+6. Submit through company site (not job board)
+7. Connect with hiring manager on LinkedIn
