How do I restore a rejected job?

Use --remove with the same company and title as when added.

What happens if I reject a company with no title?

An empty title permanently rejects all roles from that company.

Where is the reject list stored and how is it updated?

The list is in remote_search/rejected_remote.json and updated by remote_search/reject_remote.py from the project root.

Reject Remote Job

Manage the remote jobs blocklist. Jobs on this list are filtered out of all future remote job emails.

The blocklist lives in remote_search/rejected_remote.json and is managed via remote_search/reject_remote.py (run from the project root).

What to do based on what the user says

Reject a specific job — run the script with company name and job title as arguments.

Reject all roles from a company — run the script with the company name and an empty string as the title.

Reject everything from the last email — run the script with --all. This bulk-rejects all jobs from previous_jobs.json (the last run).

Restore a rejected job — run the script with --remove followed by the company and title.

Show all rejections — run the script with --list.

Matching rules — important

Matching is case-insensitive substring. "grafana" matches "Grafana Labs".
Special characters (é, ®, ™) must match exactly — double-check character by character if a company name has accents or symbols.
An empty title rejects all roles from that company permanently.
To undo, use --remove with the exact same strings used when adding.

Steps

Identify what the user wants to reject (company, title, or both).
Double-check the company name spelling, especially for special characters.
Run the appropriate script command.
Confirm the output shows the entry was added and the new total count.

Overview

Reject-job lets you block remote job emails by maintaining a blocklist of companies and titles. It filters out matches from future digests, helping you focus on relevant opportunities and avoid unwanted roles.

How This Skill Works

The blocklist is stored at remote_search/rejected_remote.json and updated via remote_search/reject_remote.py from the project root. Matching uses case-insensitive substring matching, and special characters (é, ®, ™) must match exactly. You can reject a specific job, all roles from a company, or bulk-reject from the last email, and you can undo with --remove.

When to Use It

Reject a specific remote job by company and title.
Reject all roles from a company by using an empty title.
Bulk-reject everything from the last email with --all.
Restore a previously rejected job with --remove.
Show all current rejections with --list.

Quick Start

Step 1: Identify what you want to reject (company, title, or both).
Step 2: Double-check the company name spelling, especially for accents or symbols.
Step 3: Run the appropriate remote_search/reject_remote.py command from the project root.

Best Practices

Be precise with the company name, including accents or symbols, to ensure matches.
Prefer exact titles when possible to avoid broad filtering.
Verify the new total count after adding a rejection.
Use --remove to undo changes with the same strings used when adding.
Regularly audit the blocklist to keep it relevant.

Example Use Cases

Reject a specific job: 'Acme Corp' Backend Engineer.
Reject all roles from 'Acme Corp' by leaving the title blank.
Bulk-reject all jobs from the last email: --all.
Restore a rejected job: --remove 'Acme Corp' 'Backend Engineer'.
Show all rejections: --list.
