Intro — AI for Job Hunting

This course is for people who are job hunting right now — or about to be. By the end, you’ll have:

• A resume that gets past automated screeners and reads like a human wrote it
• Cover letters you’ll actually want to send (in 10 minutes, not 2 hours)
• A targeted research workflow for any company you apply to
• A repeatable interview-prep system that calms your nerves the night before

This is not abstract career theory. Every lesson ends with you having something finished.

Why AI works for job hunting

Three reasons:

1. Resumes are pattern-matching. Recruiters spend ~7 seconds on a resume. AI can rewrite yours into the patterns that actually catch attention — strong verbs, measurable results, no fluff. Done well, it’s like hiring a $300/hour resume writer for free.

2. Tailoring kills you, AI loves it. The best applicants tailor their resume to each job posting. Doing that manually for 20 jobs takes a weekend. With AI, it takes 15 minutes per job. Compounding advantage.

3. Interview prep is repetitive. AI can roleplay any interviewer, generate likely questions for any role, and let you practice answers as many times as you want, without judgment.

What this course covers

• Lesson 1 — Resume Rewrite: The exact prompts that turn a vague resume into a sharp one. Including how to read a job posting like a recruiter and pull out the words to mirror.
• Lesson 2 — Cover Letters That Don’t Sound Like AI: Write a 4-paragraph letter in 10 minutes that sounds like you, not ChatGPT. (Yes, recruiters can usually tell.)
• Lesson 3 — Interview Prep with AI as a Practice Partner: Roleplay interviews, get feedback on your answers, and walk in confident.

What you’ll need

• An AI tool (ChatGPT free is fine; Claude is even better for writing).
• 20 minutes per lesson.
• Your current resume (any format).
• One real job posting you want to apply to. Save it now.

That’s it. Let’s go.

A note on honesty

Two things are non-negotiable:

1. Don’t lie on your resume. AI is great at sharper phrasing of true things. Don’t let it invent numbers, claim experience you don’t have, or put words in your mouth you can’t back up in an interview.

2. Edit what AI writes. Recruiters in 2026 can mostly tell when something is pure ChatGPT — too many bullet points, too many adjectives, weird repetition of buzzwords. Your job is to take the AI draft and make it sound like you.

If you treat AI as a brilliant first-draft generator and yourself as the editor, this course will work. If you treat AI as a magic application-blaster, you’ll get noticed for the wrong reasons.
