      - company_size: "51-200"
      - title_contains: ["CEO", "CTO", "VP"]

Content Templates

Post Formats

post_templates:
  story_post:
    format: |
      {{hook_line}}
      
      ↓
      
      {{story_paragraph_1}}
      
      {{story_paragraph_2}}
      
      {{lesson_learned}}
      
      {{call_to_action}}
      
      ---
      ♻️ Repost if this resonated
      🔔 Follow for more insights
      
    example: |
      I got rejected 47 times before landing my dream job.
      
      ↓
      
      Each rejection felt like a punch to the gut.
      But I kept going.
      
      Here's what changed everything:
      I stopped trying to "impress" and started being authentic.
      
      The 48th interview? I got 2 offers.
      
      Lesson: Rejection is redirection, not the end.
