Apply

The Apply step opens the job application page in your browser. Kairos prepares everything — you make the final call.

Usage

kairos jobs apply <job-id>           # opens browser
kairos applications update <id> --status submitted

Workflow

flowchart LR
    Ready[Resume Tailored] --> Open[Open Browser]
    Open --> Page[Application Page]
    Page --> User[You Submit Manually]
    User --> Confirm[Mark as Submitted]

1. Kairos checks that a tailored resume exists and is approved
2. Opens the job URL in your default browser
3. You fill in the application form and upload the tailored resume
4. Confirm submission via CLI or Web App, status updates to "Submitted"

Why Semi-Automatic?

• Respect for employers: No mass bot applications
• Quality control: You review every application
• Platform TOS: Automated submission violates most platforms' terms
• Your judgment: Some fields need human context (cover letter, salary, visa questions)
