WaterlooActuallyWorks

About

WaterlooActuallyWorks (WAW) improves the University of Waterloo WaterlooWorks experience by streamlining job browsing, making posting details easier to scan, and adding quick navigation + shortlisting tools that fit the way students actually use the site.
Key features
- Redesigned job posting view: a cleaner, more readable posting layout with key details surfaced (Duration, Location, Compensation, Deadline) and core sections (Job Summary/Description, Responsibilities, Required Skills).
- Keyboard navigation: move through postings with Left/Right (or A/D), shortlist/unshortlist with Up (or W/S), and close with Esc.
- Shortlisting that works with WaterlooWorks folders: star indicators in the job list and in the posting view; choose a default shortlist folder from the extension popup (separate handling for Full Cycle vs Employer-Student/Direct).
- New-posting visibility: highlights “NEW”/recent postings in the job list so they stand out.
- Applications clarity (Full Cycle Applications): adds a quick summary card that counts interview offers, soft rejections, hard rejections, cancelled postings, and “indeterminate” statuses.
- Company link helper: click the company name to open the company website (via domain lookup) with a Google search fallback.
Permissions & privacy
- Runs only on waterlooworks.uwaterloo.ca pages.
- Uses Chrome storage to save extension settings (like enabled state and your default shortlist folder).
- Uses autocomplete.clearbit.com only to look up a company domain when building the “company website” link (the company name you’re viewing is sent for that lookup).
