Claude: Jobs & Work

Track 186 applications, find missing keywords and review interview notes with Claude to land an offer

Margareth Felicia Gono, an international student who needed a visa, started job hunting scattershot. Gono built an application tracker with Claude, had it pull the main skills and keywords from each job description and compare them with the résumé, and used it as a career coach, which led to three résumés for analytics, sales and marketing, and consulting. Where interviewers allowed recording, Gono ran sentiment analysis on the notes to see where Gono hesitated or used filler words. The tracker showed 186 applications, 44 cold outreaches, 19 interviews, six take-home assignments, three final rounds and one offer, as a senior associate at DoorDash.

Compare ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude at building a resume, judged by a recruiter

How-To Geek's Dibakar Ghosh gave the same job posting and prompt to Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, each told to ask them questions first; ChatGPT asked 30. They liked Gemini's look best, but the recruiter picked ChatGPT's: the only one-page resume, with no fabricated details, though they found it busy. They say the questionnaire step is what made it work and that AI resumes still need human oversight.

Practise for an Amazon interview loop with ChatGPT and Claude mock interviews

Writing a month after accepting an offer from Amazon, a new hire says one of the things that helped was using ChatGPT and Claude for mock interviews: they fed both tools the job description and asked each to interview them like an Amazonian would, which surfaced questions they wouldn't have thought of. They also used AI to find gaps in their 15 prepared stories but wrote the stories in their own words.
