AI helped lay off a lot of people. Why not use it to actually find a job?
A few months ago I was in the position of looking for my next workplace. So yeah, I was spending days and nights applying, but the hardest part was actually finding something that suited me.
At one point I got extremely tired of it. So I automated the whole thing.
How It Works
I set up a daily task in Perplexity that searches for jobs while I sleep. Every morning, I wake up to a fresh list of positions that actually match what I’m looking for.
No scrolling.
No filtering through garbage.
Just relevant opportunities.
You can use ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, etc. Set it up once, it runs every day automatically.
Here’s the prompt I used. Adjust to your needs to make it awesome.

The Key
AI needs context to do its job well.
Be specific. Don’t just say “find me marketing jobs” Tell it exactly what you’re looking for: the job titles people actually use, where you want to work, and what makes you qualified.
I went from spending 2-3 hours a day hunting for jobs to spending 10 minutes reviewing a curated list every morning.
So yeah, make AI help you find the job.
