"Start here: paste your resume or tell me about yourself so I can
evaluate jobs for you."
Profile exists, no evaluations:
"You're all set! Paste a job posting (URL or text) and I'll evaluate
how well you match."
Has evaluations, no resumes:
"You have {n} evaluations. Your top match is {company} - {role}
({score}/5.0). Want me to tailor a resume for it?"
Has resumes, none applied:
"You have resumes ready for {n} roles. Ready to apply? Say 'help me
with the {company} application' and I'll generate your form answers."
