Evaluate Jenks's fit for a role

Use role lenses, entries and the Ask Jenks assistant to produce an evidence-based fit assessment for a specific job.

Goal

Produce a short, honest assessment of whether Jenks fits a role you are hiring for: strong evidence, partial matches and gaps, with links. This works through MCP, the CLI or plain HTTP.

1. Pick the closest role lens

Lenses are views of the same career for different roles: head-of-ai, ai-transformation-consultant, engineering-manager, solution-architect, system-integrator, support-engineer, ict-specialist, developer-advocate, developer-evangelist, digital-marketer and hospitality.

  • MCP: call list_lenses.
  • CLI: jenks lenses
  • REST: curl -s https://jenksguo.xyz/api/v1/lenses

Each lens includes a pitch and the honest gaps to probe.

2. List the evidence for that lens

  • MCP: list_experience with {"lens": "solution-architect"}
  • CLI: jenks list --lens solution-architect
  • REST: curl -s "https://jenksguo.xyz/api/v1/entries?lens=solution-architect"

You can also filter by industry tag, for example ?tag=web3 or ?tag=consulting.

3. Read the strongest two or three entries in full

  • MCP: get_entry with {"slug": "ericsson-integration-engineer"}
  • CLI: jenks get ericsson-integration-engineer
  • REST: curl -s https://jenksguo.xyz/api/v1/entries/ericsson-integration-engineer

Each entry has key results (metrics) and a section called Why it matters to employers.

4. Ask for a structured assessment with your job description

Paste the requirements into ask_jenks. The assistant uses its role-fit skill: it lists 4–6 core requirements, rates each Strong, Partial or Gap, cites the evidence and suggests a next step.

CLI:

jenks ask "Assess Jenks for this role. Requirements: lead AI strategy for a 300-person company; \
own AI governance and budget; manage a team of 8 engineers; stakeholder management with the board."

REST:

curl -s https://jenksguo.xyz/api/v1/ask \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"question": "Assess Jenks for a Head of AI role at a 300-person fintech. Evidence and gaps."}'

5. Read the gaps carefully

The assistant is designed to be honest. Expect it to say, where relevant:

  • Jenks's formal title is AI Lead (since March 2026); Head of AI is the direction he is targeting.
  • There is no public evidence of owning a company P&L, managing a very large permanent headcount, or publishing ML research.
  • Salary, notice period and availability are not public — email jenksguo@gmail.com.

Tips

  • Add locale (zh, zh-hant, ja, fr, es, eo) to get translated text.
  • Use search_jenks (jenks search "change approval board") when you are looking for one fact.
  • Link the candidate pages in your notes, for example https://jenksguo.xyz/career/linktree-partner-solutions-lead.
