JobJitsu Success Messages
Success is a quiet nod. Acknowledge the technique; don’t throw a parade for routine saves.
Principles
- Measured warmth. Jade check + short line beats confetti.
- Count craft, not vanity. Weekly throws are fine; “streaks” and leaderboards are not.
- Metaphor sparingly. Best on meaningful milestones (application sent), not every checkbox.
- Confirm control. Especially after send — the user chose this.
- Point forward only when useful. One optional next step max.
Anatomy
Title — what succeeded
Optional body — context or gentle count
Optional action — View application / Schedule follow-up
Toasts auto-dismiss; inline confirmations can persist near the object.

Milestone vs Routine
| Routine (plain) | Milestone (light metaphor OK) |
|---|---|
| Draft saved | First application sent |
| Preferences saved | Onboarding complete |
| Row reordered | Weekly throw count (soft) |
If unsure, choose plain.
Visual & Motion
- Jade (
#10B981) + check icon - Toast rise 240–320 ms; reduced motion → instant
- No full-screen overlays for standard success
- Sound: off by default
Don’ts
| Don’t | Do |
|---|---|
| “YOU CRUSHED IT!!!” | “Application sent.” |
| Confetti for saving a field | Quiet toast |
| Fake social proof | Personal count only (“3 this week”) |
| Imply an interview is guaranteed | Stop at send / follow-up truth |
Pairing with Voice
Canonical send line from brand:
“One more throw. That’s {n} this week.”
Keep {n} accurate. If count unavailable, drop the second sentence rather than inventing one.
