Job Hunt With Claude Checklist: 6 AI Uses

Who this checklist is for

This job hunt with Claude checklist is for anyone applying for a new job: a first job, a move up or a change of field. Owners can pass it to a friend, a family member or a team member who is looking. Claude and most AI assistants can read a job ad, your CV and a company website, then help you prepare like a coach would.

Use it before each application, not once. Each item says what to paste or upload and what to ask. AI helps you say what you have done more clearly; it should never add skills or jobs you do not have, so read every line before you send it.

The 6 uses, in the order of the reel

Paste the job ad: ask what they really want

Paste the whole job ad and ask for the three or four things the employer cares about most, in plain words. Then you know what your CV and your interview answers must prove.

Upload CV + job ad: ask what's missing

Attach your CV and paste the job ad, then ask which requirements your CV does not show yet. Often you have the experience but have not written it down.

Ask it to rewrite your CV for this one job

Ask for a version of your CV that puts the most relevant work first for this job, using only what is true. Keep your original and compare them side by side.

Paste their website: get questions to ask

Paste the company's About page or a recent news post and ask for five good questions to ask at the end of the interview. It shows you did your homework.

Ask it to interview you, then score answers

Ask it to act as the interviewer for this job, one question at a time, and to score each answer and say how to make it stronger. Practise out loud as well as in writing.

Ask Claude to make your job tracker in Excel

Ask Claude for an Excel file with a row per application: company, role, date sent, contact, next step and follow-up date. Claude can create real Excel files you download, so you always know who to follow up with.

Questions about using AI for a job hunt

Can Claude review my CV?

Yes. You can upload your CV as a PDF or document and ask Claude to compare it with a job ad and say what is missing. ChatGPT and most other AI assistants can do the same.

Is it okay to use AI to write a CV?

Using AI to make your CV clearer and better matched to a job is fine. Never let it add skills, jobs or results you do not have, and read every line before you send it.

Can AI help me prepare for an interview?

Yes. Ask it to act as the interviewer for the job ad you paste, one question at a time, and to score each answer with one way to improve it.
