Three Claude features for job seekers that most people don't use

Most people use Claude for a single chat, paste, response, close.

There are three features that change what's possible if you're using it for a real job search.

1. Projects

I covered the basics in week 1. Worth repeating: Project Knowledge holds your resume, LinkedIn, target role notes, and any drafts.

Every chat in that Project starts with full context. That’s a game changer for a long search.

2. File uploads

Drop in a JD, a company’s annual report, a recruiter’s LinkedIn profile, or your full work history doc directly into Claude.

You can ask it to compare two JDs side by side, summarize a 40-page company report into the five things you should know before an interview, or pull patterns across 10 rejection emails.

Most people are still pasting text. Just upload the file.

3. Voice mode (in the mobile app)

If you’re prepping for an interview, talk to Claude like you’re talking to the interviewer. Out loud.

It’s the cheapest mock interview you’ll ever do. You hear your filler words. You catch where you ramble. You realize you don’t actually have a clear answer to “tell me about yourself.”

Way more useful than reading your prep notes silently.

Pick one of these you haven’t used and try it this week.

Which one are you trying first?

A 4th would be Skills, let me know if you want a quick lesson.

Skills, please!!

What are Skills?

No, I’m good on Skills.
