What they did

Can a bot apply for jobs for you? A former Apple engineer asked his Grok Bot to apply to 5 jobs and tailor his resume to each job description. It filled out the applications and handled the captchas on its own, and only stopped to open a browser for him when Dice needed a Google sign-in.

How it went

Tailored applications sent, with a log of where and when.

Worth knowing

  • One user's X post; no word yet on interviews. Read each tailored resume before it goes out so nothing is exaggerated. See the job-hunt lesson entry: mass applications got another user only 1 interview.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Apply to these [5] jobs for me: [links]. For each one, tailor my resume to the job description using only true facts from my master resume [attach], and write a short cover note if the form asks for one. Show me each tailored resume before you submit. If a site needs me to sign in, stop and let me do it. Keep a list of where you applied, the date and the resume version you used.

Recommended

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
