A daily job roundup newsletter

• "What's happening today?" A short, opinionated lead built on a real brand happening that morning, with a linked source, that lands on why today's jobs matter.
• Today's jobs, each with a one-line note on what's genuinely good about the role.
• The Weekend Edit on Saturdays and Sundays: a reflective take plus the week's best job in each industry.

I wrote a full voice and point-of-view guide: who's writing (a discerning insider friend, never a career coach), who's reading, the worldview, and the tone (dry, specific, slightly conspiratorial). It rides along on every AI call.

• Edge lives in the culture lead. The job notes are always positive.
• A banned-word list is enforced in code. Generic newsletter language triggers a rewrite, and a note that can't be fixed gets dropped instead of shipped.

An early version let the AI search the web, and it invented article links. I rebuilt research so the system first pulls real headlines from Google News across ten industries, and the AI only chooses among them and cites them by number. A headline or link can't be made up.

• Recognizable brands and creative roles rank first, and roles that list a salary come before ones that don't.
• The lead rotates across industries, because left alone it was fashion every day.
• A job never runs twice within 60 days, and a news story never leads twice.
• Nothing sends automatically. The draft lands in an editor I built, and I approve every send.
