- What they did
- A commenter suggested using Cowork as a standing task runner: feed it your resume, have it watch for matching job postings, and tailor the resume to each job’s requirements without inventing experience. The same thread also suggests asking Claude for step-by-step help applying for unemployment and other support programs, plus using Cowork to track service deadlines and draft inbox replies for interview requests that the user would review before sending.
- How it went
- This was advice, not a reported case study, so the thread gives no results, numbers, or evidence it was carried through. It lays out possible workflows but not how well they worked.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch the commenter calls out is to keep the tailoring grounded in your actual resume and review any drafted responses before sending.
