Build a career memory that grows every day

You can now start JobsLobster with only your resume and then build a private, user‑confirmed career memory through short daily check‑ins (text or voice). That matters because it makes it easy to capture real work episodes over time, ensures nothing becomes trusted resume evidence without your explicit confirmation, and gives you clear controls over notifications and deletion.

Key changes

• Resume-only onboarding: signup begins from a resume snapshot; creating a target job at signup is removed and marketing is off unless you opt in.
• Daily text and voice check-ins: the signed-in home is now a simple daily conversation that helps you capture short career episodes.
• User-confirmed career memory: entries become part of your career memory only after you confirm them; you can correct, reject, defer, inspect, and delete items with provenance.
• Notification preferences and reminder control: timezone handling, quiet hours, duplicate suppression, and missed-check tapering are respected.
• Mobile voice entry and deep-link return: dictate a check-in, review the transcript before saving, and return directly from a generic lock-screen prompt to the daily conversation.
• Admin Notification Studio: operators can preview lifecycle messages and trace delivery into product activity without exposing diary text.

What this means for you

• Signing up is simpler: provide a resume to get a useful starting review and a daily prompt—no target job or interview session is created automatically.
• Daily workflow: the home asks one useful question each day and shows seven‑day progress; anything that might become resume evidence requires your confirmation first.
• Controls and privacy: you keep ownership of your career memory (inspectable audit history, delete or correct entries), and operator tooling is designed not to expose private diary text.

Screenshots and visible changes

Before/after screenshots are available showing the new resume-only try-now flow, the signed-in daily conversation home, and the admin Notification Studio for lifecycle messaging previews.
