What you'll learn

Build a 10x personal job search engine with AI

From role targeting to saved queries, smart use in apps and outbound, and ease + automation where it matters.

Prep interviews with AI you already use -- no new tools

Use your favorite AI subscriptions and advanced prompting strategy to do novel research -- then, craft sharper stories.

Stand out without shortcuts: what to avoid & what to do

Avoid auto-appliers and AI-generated resumes! They hurt. Use AI for tactics + personalization that put you ahead.

Why this topic matters

The 2025 tech market is crowded and most people use auto appliers and AI resumes that will get you rejected. But used correctly, it builds a personal discovery engine, surfaces uncommon insights, and amplifies your proof of work. Even in this tough market, you can get noticed and win a top-of-market role. And AI can help you get there better, faster, and in style.
