ChatGPT for job search
ChatGPT can't see live job posts from a chat. Codex, OpenAI's agent that comes with ChatGPT, can. Paste one prompt and Codex walks you through the rest, then finds remote jobs that fit you.
Where ChatGPT job search falls short
Ask ChatGPT to find you a job and it searches the web. You get posts that closed weeks ago, jobs reposted for months, job board copies, and no way to filter by salary, seniority or visa sponsorship.
It's not you, and it's not ChatGPT. A chat just has nothing live to search.
How to use ChatGPT for job search
Use Codex, OpenAI's agent that comes with ChatGPT. Copy this prompt and paste it into the Codex app. That's it. Codex walks you through every step, then shows you your best matches with links to apply.
