Postings that change, and drafts that file themselves

  • A retitled job posting keeps its card and mark. Jobs on an employer's own board are matched by their posting id, so a new title folds into the job first seen; votes carry over too.
  • Drafts for a job listing that has closed file themselves away. Marking a job No longer available moves its résumé and cover-letter drafts into their own folder, as Applied does; if the listing comes back, they move back.
  • A drafted résumé or cover letter can still be built after its job drops out of the day's fetch, from the job's saved record and the listing text.
  • Built documents name the employer the way a reader would: no Inc or LLC, and no all-capitals names, in the file name and the greeting. A job title cut short to fit a file name no longer ends on "and" or "of".
