How do I use Claude for my job search?

Set up CareerMax for my job search.
1. If CareerMax isn't connected yet, give me this link to add it, then wait until I say it's connected: https://careermax.ai/claude
2. Set up my CareerMax profile from my résumé and show me today's best jobs for me.
3. Schedule "Run my CareerMax job search brief" for every weekday at 8 AM. If scheduling isn't available on my plan, tell me how to run it myself.

To use Claude for your job search, connect a job search tool such as CareerMax as a connector, share your résumé, and ask Claude for your daily jobs. Claude ranks new jobs against your experience, and CareerMax fills the applications you pick, finds people for referrals and tracks everything. Setup takes about five minutes.

What Claude does well on its ownCopy Anchor Link

Without any connector, Claude is already useful for the writing and thinking parts of a job search:

• tightening your résumé and tailoring it to a job description you paste
• drafting cover letters and short networking notes
• practicing answers to behavioral questions
• researching a company with web search

What it can't do in a normal chat is see a fresh list of jobs matched to you each day, fill in an employer's application form, or keep track of where every application stands. That's what a connector adds.

What CareerMax addsCopy Anchor Link

• New jobs every day, from employer career sites on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Workable, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle Recruiting Cloud, UKG Pro, ADP Workforce Now and Taleo, matched to your preferences. Claude ranks them with a one-line reason each. See Job search brief.
• Applications filled for you in a cloud browser. Claude asks you for anything the form needs, and you can review each one before it's sent. See Applications.
• Tracking and an applicant inbox, so you can ask "which of my applications need me?" and reply to employers from Claude.
• People to contact at a company, for a referral or an intro. See Referrals and outreach.
• Interview prep built on your own stories. See Help me prepare.

A typical dayCopy Anchor Link

1. At 8 AM, a scheduled task runs “Run my CareerMax job search brief”. You open Claude on your phone and see the top jobs, each with why it fits.
2. You tick three and tap Apply. CareerMax starts filling the forms.
3. One form asks for your notice period. Claude asks you, and you answer in a line.
4. You review the finished applications and approve them.
5. After one is submitted, Claude offers to find someone on that team who could refer you, and drafts the note.

Tips for better resultsCopy Anchor Link

• Give Claude your real résumé, or describe your experience in detail. The ranking is only as good as what Claude knows about you.
• Be specific about what you want: roles, level, locations, remote or not, and the pay you need. You can change it any time by telling Claude.
• Read the one-line reasons. They show why a job fits. Skip the ones that stretch.
• Keep Review before submit on while you're getting started, so you see exactly what's sent.
• Build a few stories early. Five good stories cover most behavioral interviews. See Build my Storybank.
