Builders · Agentic AI · ~5 min read
The big idea
Looking for a summer job is a part-time job by itself. An agent can find listings, tailor your resume to each one, and track every application — so you don't drop the ball on follow-ups.
Some examples
- Agent scans listings on three sites and emails you the best matches.
- Agent tweaks your resume for each job posting — you approve before sending.
- Agent reminds you to follow up after a week of silence.
- Agent runs a mock interview with you the night before.
Try it!
List five jobs you'd actually want. Outline what an agent could do at each step.

- 3Check resume against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
