The author turned Claude loose on 500 job listings to do the application work, claiming 12 interviews within 24 hours, and shared the full prompt thread.

The 6-step workflow: (1) upload your resume and have Claude act as a senior recruiter, returning the 20 best-fit job titles plus the ATS keywords for each; (2) rewrite the resume into a master template using the Google XYZ formula, stripped of red flags; (3) connect a Chrome extension or browsing connector in Claude settings so it can open LinkedIn and Indeed itself; (4) have Claude scrape the last 7 days of matching postings into a spreadsheet with links, a match score out of 100, and a tailored resume per job; (5) batch-generate 50 customized applications with cover notes; (6) skip the resume pile — have Claude find each hiring manager and draft sub-90-word LinkedIn messages.
