What problem does it solve? Navigating the academic CS job market is overwhelming: candidates must manage timelines, craft research/teaching/EDI statements, prepare job talks, survive interviews, and negotiate offers, often without structured guidance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Stage-Based Guidance: Covers six stages (prepare, apply, statement, talk, interview, negotiate) with tailored checklists and output formats for each. - Application Package Support: Provides structures and common pitfalls for research statements, teaching statements, EDI statements, cover letters, and reference letters. - Interview & Negotiation Playbooks: Includes job talk structure with time allocation, Q&A handling, 1-on-1 meeting preparation, and startup package negotiation items. - Use Case: A final-year PhD student asks for help drafting a research statement; the Skill returns a section-by-section outline, common mistakes to avoid, and prompts for each section based on advice from Prof. Bingsheng He's group at NUS. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you prepare for the academic job market at the statement stage, for example by requesting a research statement outline for a systems-focused CS faculty application.
