How to use Claude Cowork to find new jobs

Original: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7480245741634998272/

(10 minute setup, runs while you sleep).

Most job seekers spend hours every day scrolling LinkedIn Jobs.

That’s not a job search.

That’s a part-time job you don’t get paid for.

There’s a better way.

Claude Cowork can scan the entire internet for new openings, score them against YOUR criteria, and have a fresh list waiting for you every morning.

The best part?

It only takes 10 minutes to set up:

1. Build Your Scoring Criteria In Claude

Ask it to create 10-15 questions that define your ideal role.

Dictate your answers for what “great” looks like for compensation, culture, growth, location.

Have Claude share it as a .md file.

2. Turn That Output Into A Scoring Methodology

Ask Claude to review your answers from step one and turn it into a scoring methodology.

This is what Cowork uses to evaluate every job it finds.

Have it output the methodology as an .md file.

3. Add Both Files To Your Cowork Folder

Cowork runs out of a folder on your desktop.

Drop both .md files in there so Cowork references them every single time it runs.

4. Create a scheduled task in Cowork

In Cowork, hit Scheduled → New Task.

Build a prompt that tells Cowork to find, score, and summarize matching companies using your two .md files.

I wrote the entire prompt so you can copy and paste it for free here: https://lnkd.in/ei3MjQSA

5. Set It Up To Run While You Sleep

Schedule it for 8:30pm (or whenever works best).

Get some shut eye and wake up to a ranked list of new companies with scores, company info, and direct application links.

Now you can use the time and energy you saved to provide the value that AI can’t.

And win more jobs as a result.

How to talk to a recruiter

Most cold messages to recruiters get deleted.

Here’s how to write one that gets a reply: ↓

After coaching 800+ professionals, I keep seeing the same pattern. Candidates treat the first message like a cover letter.

They make it about themselves. And the recruiter moves on in seconds.

You’ve found the role. You have the contact.

Here’s what to do instead:

1. Name the role first
↳ Use the exact job title in your opener
↳ They juggle many roles; be precise
↳ Copy it word for word from the listing

2. One line on what you bring
↳ Pick one achievement that fits their need
↳ Solve their problem, not your proudest moment
↳ Keep it about them, not your history

3. Ask for a chat, not a job
↳ Low stakes means more replies
↳ If it reads like a cover letter, start over
↳ Open a door, don’t walk through it uninvited

4. Keep it short
↳ Six lines max; if it scrolls, cut it
↳ Test it on your phone before you send
↳ If you skim it, they definitely will

5. End with a yes/no question
↳ “Would a quick call make sense?” works well
↳ Avoid vague closers like “Let me know”
↳ Open-ended questions let them procrastinate

6. One follow-up, then leave it
↳ Five to seven days later, one polite nudge
↳ Reference your first message so they find it
↳ After that, move on

Recruiters want to place good people.
Your job is to make it easy for them to see you’re one.

Recruiters: what actually makes you respond to a cold message? Drop it in the comments.

Configure App Service built-in MCP (preview)

App Service built-in MCP turns an existing REST API hosted on Azure App Service into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server without writing or deploying any MCP code. The platform reads an OpenAPI specification you provide and generates an MCP tool for each operation. It then serves the MCP endpoint over streamable HTTP on a path you choose.
