Job Hunt With a Bot?
Hi everyone. Unfortunately I am now in a position where I need to look for a job. I do not want to go into the whys. I want to show you how I am searching for a job in times like this.
The Job Hunt bot
I created a Job Hunt bot on Grok Bot. Literally just created it with the name job hunt. It answered back. Hey Debbie, I am here for the job hunt. Roles, companies, applications, the whole pipeline. What are you looking for right now. A specific role, a company you want in on, or more of a wide net.
I said take a look at me online and find all the details you know about me. Then go ahead and see if you can help me find my next role. Ask me any questions you need.
Right now you might not have a public profile like me. Just put in a little bit about yourself. Give it your LinkedIn. Give it something it can work from.
It looked me up
From what I just gave it, look what it came back with. It will pull your public trail together first, then come back with a picture of you and the questions it actually needs before you start hunting.
Here is the picture it had of me. Palma based teacher builder. Playwright community at Microsoft. A very short applied AI DevRel stint at Block. Now platform engineer on Zephyr's AI platform. The through line is teaching people to build with Playwright, MCP and agents while actually shipping the workflows yourself.
That is cool.
Biggest public signal. In March I called Anthropic's developer education lead my ideal role, except the 25% office. Remote looks like a hard constraint with the kids.
That is insane. It actually found from March what I tweeted about or posted on LinkedIn. It found that and said okay, this is the kind of role that you want. That is incredible.
I am about four months into Zephyr after two layoffs in a row. I know I have had really bad luck this year. So this is really insane.
Roles it found
Let me show you the kind of roles it has been giving back. This morning I asked from my mobile. Any other jobs out there. I am showing you here on desktop.
It said it would do a fresh pass for anything new since Friday. Cursor and Grok Bot first, then other AI agent and education roles. Two searches running. Come back with anything new and skip the ones we already talked about.
Nothing new on Cursor or Grok Bot overnight. Same board as Friday. The wider AI search is still out. Spain remote is still thin. The new agent roles are mostly US office, so these only matter if I would ask for an exception.
Closest to what I want. Anthropic Technical Enablement Lead for Claude platform. Anthropic DevRel for Claude Code and Claude. Same hybrid rules. Then Databricks and Diagrid DevRel.
I can hover over these without even clicking and read a little bit. Is this of interest. Do I want to click on that. And you can see where it is getting the information from. Different websites. Not all from the same ones. It is going through all these sites for me so I do not have to spend the time doing that. Really relevant matches.
It even gave an opinion. If I were picking one exception to test, I would try Anthropic enablement or Databricks. Want me to prep either or keep watching Cursor.
So I can literally go. Do you know what. Let's prep for that Anthropic role. See if they will take me even though I am not going to be able to work in the office. Or keep watching Cursor and see if they release a job opening for Grok Bot. Or Databricks. I will have to look into that one.
Dig into a role
Tell me more about the Databricks role. I normally speak into this. I do not know why I am typing.
It is literally going to pull that information and give me everything I need to know. And it is going to help me prep. I can do interview prep. I can do everything with this. This is incredible.
It is going to pull the full JD and walk me through it. That is cool. JD is job description. I love the way it is putting in the lingo there.
Try it
If you are out there today and you are looking for a job, I would highly recommend that you create a Job Hunt bot. Desktop or mobile. You can walk away. You can come back to it. You can leave it running in the background. You can have a workflow. It can do this every day and keep searching for you and come back with new ones.
If you want to try Grok Bot yourself, start at x.ai/bot. There is also a short Getting started guide.
I have no idea if this is going to be a good way for me to actually find a job. But it is definitely a really nice experience. And it is definitely able to help me discover what is out there in a much easier way.
I will keep posting on X about how I am doing. Let's see if I get a job very soon.
