So, I used to use ChatGPT as frequently as I used to, but that's because it started sounding generic, right? And when you now go to Claude, most people now open Claude and start typing, and they miss five settings that take 90 seconds to turn on. Now, each one unlocks a specific career task. So, have you been in that place where you have been using Claude and now you thought, this is fine, but it doesn't really feel personalized to me? That's because it's not personalized for you yet. Now, these settings are why it's not personalized. So, with the default settings of Claude, yeah, you are using maybe 30% of what Claude can do for your career. So, let's fix that. So, first of all, memory. So, the first setting is tell Claude your background, your target role, and your salary goal. Now, every conversation after that is personalized to you. So, for connectors, connect your Gmail and your Google Drive. So, Claude reads your resume, drafts your recruiter replies in your voice. So, tell Claude how you write to make sure that it's not just, dear hiring manager, I am writing to express all the time. It will personalize it to how you write your letters. Create one project that is called Job Search 2026 and drop in your resume, your target roles, and your interview notes. Every chat remembers that full content. And I know most people don't know this, but if you go into the pro version of Claude, there is what we call Claude Co-work. Now, most people are not using this. What it does for you, it goes to work. So, you delegate real tasks to it. It will research, it will follow up, it will even do applications for you while you do something else. So, I have to say this, the people getting real value from AI right now are not even smarter than you. They're just setting up right the first time they use it. So, comment Claude and I will send you the exact setup prompts for all five, ready for you to copy and paste. Now, once you have this setup, the next step is knowing which prompts to use for which career task. So, if this saved you time, follow along. Every week, I post practical AI tools for your career.
