If you are in the job market and wondering how to use AI for your job search, come along and build your own AI job search engine with me in a Claude project. Learn by doing is the best way to learn anything. By the end, you'll have a project you can talk about coherently when you're asked how you actually use AI, and it might spark ideas for other projects in your life.
I build it live with Claude Projects for our fictional candidate, Alex. This automated job search finds jobs every morning, lets me approve or pass on them, drafts a tailored resume and cover letter I can edit right in Claude, and stages LinkedIn networking with connection notes and coffee chat invitations. I never auto-send anything. It's drafts and open tabs only, and it learns from what I actually send.
