Audit my job search system. Tracker or notes: [TRACKER]. Applications per week and response rates: [APPLICATION_DATA]. Calculate response rate as replies divided by applications and interview rate as interviews divided by applications. Check follow-up timing, tailoring effort and where applications stall. Return a table, a weekly routine and rules for deciding where to spend effort. Add a worked calculation: 40 applications, 8 replies (20 percent), 3 interviews (7.5 percent), 1 offer. Tailored applications: 15 with 6 replies (40 percent); untailored 25 with 2 replies (8 percent). Conclusion: tailoring appears to raise replies, although the sample is small. Plan: 10 tailored applications a week, follow up after 7 days, review every Friday. Add a worked weekly routine of 45 minutes: update the tracker, send follow-ups to applications older than 7 days, prepare for interviews, and set next week's targets. Add a monthly check of what is working, using the response rates calculated above.
