Start a new Claude chat (or a Project, a saved workspace, if you'll do this weekly) and upload your CV. Ask Claude to sum up your skills and level in 3 lines and correct anything it gets wrong.
Paste the 'Job shortlist' prompt. Claude stops and asks for your dream job titles, location, level, visa needs and minimum salary. Answer honestly.
Easiest: copy 20-50 recent adverts from your job sites into a document and upload it. Bigger batches: connect a data tool such as Apify in Claude's connectors, following each site's rules.
Claude removes duplicates and agency reposts, drops roles that fail your must-haves and scores the rest. It labels visa sponsorship 'Offered' only if the advert says so.
Ask for an Excel file with title, company, location, salary, date posted, match score, priority, skill gaps and the apply link, sorted best first.
Read the list of keywords your CV is missing and the rewritten lines. Only use a line if it's true for you.
Fresh adverts with fewer applicants are worth doing first. Tailor each application with Claude's notes, then send them yourself.
Step 1: Read my CV and sum up my skills, experience and level in exactly 3 lines. Step 2: Ask me my dream job titles, preferred location (remote / hybrid / office and cities), level, whether I need visa sponsorship and my minimum salary. Then STOP and wait for my answers. Step 3: From the job adverts I give you, keep only ones posted in the last [14] days. Remove duplicates (same job ID, or same company and title in different cities, or agency reposts). If I need sponsorship, drop adverts that say they won't sponsor; mark sponsorship 'Offered' only if the advert says so, otherwise 'Not stated'. Step 4: Make a spreadsheet: title, company, location, work type, salary, date posted, applicants if shown, sponsorship, required skills, match score 0-100, priority (High / Medium / Low), skill gaps, apply link. Add a 'Method' tab explaining your scoring. Step 5: Give me the top 10 to apply for first (one line each on why), the 5 keywords most often missing from my CV, and 3 rewritten CV lines using only facts from my CV. Rules: use only the real adverts I gave you. Never invent jobs, salaries, applicant numbers or links. If something is missing, write 'Not listed'.
