What they did
A commenter recommended setting up Cowork as an ongoing job-search helper. They suggested giving it a resume, then having it scan for openings that line up with that background and adjust each version of the resume to match the posting without making anything up. In the same thread, they also pointed to Claude for help understanding unemployment claims and other support programs, along with using Cowork to follow deadlines and draft replies to interview emails for review.
How it went
This was advice rather than a documented success story, so there are no outcomes, counts, or proof it was actually used. The thread only outlines a possible workflow.
Tips
Keep any resume edits tied to real experience, and check every draft before sending it. Use the agent for planning and writing help, not for submitting applications or forms on its own.

Try it yourself with Claude Cowork

I’m job hunting in [city/remote] for roles in [field]. Read my resume from [file path] and look for current postings that fit my experience. Return [number] matches with the job title, company, pay if shown, link, and a short note on why each one fits. Then help me understand how to apply for unemployment benefits and other support in [state/country], using official sources and ordered steps. Also help me keep track of deadlines and draft replies to interview requests, but pause and ask for my approval before you send, submit, delete, or change anything important.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
