Dream Job Navigator

Dream Job Navigator lets you define the roles and companies you're targeting,
and see how your current evidence lines up with each one. The classification
reflects current readiness — it is not a promise of hire.

Add a goal

Add Goal opens a form where you provide:

Target Role (required) — for example, "VP of Engineering"
Target Company (optional) — for example, "Stripe"
Target Industry (optional) — for example, "Fintech"

The Create Goal button stays disabled until you've entered a target role.

You can filter the list by Active, Achieved, Archived, or All
goals. If you haven't added any goals yet, the page shows "No dream job goals
yet" with an Add Your First Goal button.

How goals are classified

Each goal gets one of five classifications, and a plain-language description
of what that classification means is shown right on the card:

Ready Now — evidence strongly matches target requirements
Competitive — competitive with preparation; moderate gaps that can close
Stretch — stretch opportunity; significant but bridgeable gaps
Career Transition — a domain or role shift is needed
Longer Term — major gap closure and new evidence required

Assess a goal

The Assess button runs an assessment of your current evidence against the
goal. The card then shows a confidence line in the form
"Assessment confidence: {n}% · {n} evidence items". You can re-run Assess
at any time — a new run replaces the previous confidence and evidence count
for that goal.

Reading a goal card

Each goal card shows:

The target role (and company), the classification badge, and the priority you set (when it's above zero)
A plain-language description of what the classification means
Strengths — badges for evidence that already matches
Current gaps — each with a suggested action and a severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low). When there are more than two, use "Show all N gaps" to expand the list
Adjacent roles worth considering — related roles you might also be competitive for
Any assumptions you've recorded about the goal

Edit, archive, restore

Edit opens the preferences form, where you can also set a Target Timeline (for example, Q1 2027), a Priority, and Assumptions. Saving re-runs the assessment, so your classification, strengths, and gaps stay current.
Archive hides the goal — it can be restored later.
Archived goals show a Restore action to bring them back to the active list.
