Rewrite a resume, apply to jobs and run voice mock interviews

After a layoff, a Redditor had Grok Bot rework their resume, fill in job applications in bulk and coach them through voice mock interviews, and now has several interviews booked.

What they did

A Redditor who had just lost their job, and was new to Grok Bot, started by going over their resume with it out loud. The first version had been written by AI, so they talked through changes and the bot edited the document as they spoke until there was a final draft. The bot then offered to start applying. The poster gave it the answers that standard application forms ask for, such as work authorisation and veteran status, and from then on it had enough to complete most applications on its own. While driving, they used voice chat to run mock interviews for each specific role: they answered, the bot gave feedback and suggested other ways to phrase each answer, and they repeated each question several times.

How it went

The poster says they now have several interviews scheduled and the first one went smoothly, which they put down to the practice. They do not say how many applications the bot sent or how many it could not finish. In the comments, another user said they did the same and had a bot search for newly opened roles and log them, with related emails, in a Notion database.

Worth knowing

One commenter asked how the bulk applying got past job sites that block automated applications; the thread does not answer that. An HR commenter with long hiring experience warned that candidates who rehearse with AI often sound scripted and stumble on follow-up questions, and suggested practising with a person too.

With Grok Bot· 5 parts to fill in

Help me with my job search for [target role] in [location or remote]. First, go through my resume at [file or link] with me and make the edits I ask for until I approve a final version. Then ask me for the standard application answers you will need, such as [work authorisation, notice period, salary range], and save them. Find open roles that match [criteria], and for each one show me the job and the tailored answers before you submit; skip any site that blocks automated applications and list it for me instead. Keep a log of every application with company, role, date and status. When I ask, run a mock interview for a specific role: ask one question at a time, wait for my answer, give feedback and two other ways to phrase it, and stop when I say we are done.

Square brackets are the parts to fill in. The prompt is ours; the story is theirs.
