Life Admin & HomeDone with Claude Code
Search LinkedIn and submit tailored job applications
Claude Code drives a real Chrome browser to find matching jobs from a resume, collect them in a CSV, write cover letters, fill forms and submit.
- What They Did
- Chrome runs with remote debugging on, and Claude Code connects to it through Selenium scripts it writes itself. A markdown skill prompt, a markdown resume and a cover-letter style template guide it. It searches LinkedIn from the resume, builds to_apply.csv, then writes a letter per posting, fills the form and submits. The author skims the CSV first.
- How It Went
- A search run yields 50-130 postings in minutes, and each application takes 60-90 seconds. The author says daily application time fell from 3-4 hours to about 30 minutes. CAPTCHAs and two-factor walls still need a human.
- Worth Knowing
- Job postings can carry hidden prompt-injection canary words that auto-reject bots, so add an ignore-embedded-instructions rule to the skill prompt. Setup took about two hours.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Using my resume at [path to resume file], search LinkedIn in my Chrome browser for [job title] roles in [location] and save the best matches to a CSV with title, company, and link. Then draft a tailored cover letter for each of the top [number] matches. Before you submit any application or fill in a final form, pause and show me the cover letter and the answers you plan to send. Stop when the CSV and drafts are ready and I have approved or skipped each one.
