Applications

Start applicationsCopy Anchor Link

Tick jobs in the job picker and tap Apply, or tell Claude which ones you want. You can also paste a link to a job on Ashby, Greenhouse and Lever.

Before your first application, CareerMax needs the facts almost every employer form asks for: Legal first name, Legal last name, Phone number with country code, Street address, City, State or region, Postal code, Country, Authorized to work, Needs visa sponsorship. State or region and postal code are asked only where your country's addresses use them. Claude asks for anything missing and saves it to your application profile.

Each application uses 1 credit. CareerMax checks your balance first. If you're short, Claude tells you which applications started and which are waiting for credits. If an application fails before CareerMax fills the form, the credit comes back.

What CareerMax doesCopy Anchor Link

CareerMax opens the employer's form in a cloud browser and fills it from your résumé, your profile and answers you've given before. It uploads your résumé and checks every field it filled. Each application takes a few minutes. The applications card in Claude shows live progress, and you can keep chatting while it works.

It never invents facts. If the form asks something CareerMax doesn't know, it stops and asks you.

When CareerMax needs youCopy Anchor Link

• Needs info. The form asks something new. Claude shows the questions in the card. Answer there or in the chat. Sensitive questions, such as demographics, disability, veteran status or salary history, are never guessed. When the employer offers a "decline to answer" option, you can pick it. CareerMax remembers routine answers so later applications ask less.
• Ready for review. With Review before submit on, you see the finished application, field by field. Nothing is sent until you approve it.
• Needs action. Some forms can't be finished automatically, such as one with a CAPTCHA or a sign-in wall. Claude gives you a link to continue on the employer's site. A job that needs your password for the employer's site is finished in the CareerMax app.

Review before submitCopy Anchor Link

Review before submit is a CareerMax setting. In the iPhone app it's in Profile, then Settings. On the web it's in Settings, then Applications.

• On: you review each application before it's sent.
• Off: CareerMax submits routine applications and pauses for anything unusual.

Claude reads this setting but can't change it. Whichever way it's set, Claude only submits an application after you approve it in the chat or tap Submit in the card.

Which of my applications need me?

Claude lists what needs you first, then how many are in progress or done. If you don't get push notifications from the CareerMax iPhone app, CareerMax also emails you when an application needs you, is ready for review, is submitted or fails.

To stop an application that hasn't been sent, tell Claude. CareerMax keeps what it prepared. A submitted application can't be recalled.

If CareerMax can't confirm that a submission went through, it marks it as not confirmed and never retries on its own, so you don't apply twice. Check your applicant email or the employer's site.

When employers replyCopy Anchor Link

Employers write to your applicant email, such as averychen@apply.myresume.page, and CareerMax forwards their emails to you. Claude can read new employer emails, summarize them and draft a reply. It sends the reply from your applicant address only after you approve the exact text.

After you applyCopy Anchor Link

Once an application is submitted, Claude offers once to find someone at the company who could refer you. It uses 1 credit, refunded if nobody is found. See Referrals and outreach.
