In this tutorial, Igor Pogany demonstrates the newly released job‑search and resume‑building features inside ChatGPT by using his own AI agent, Alfredo, as a test case. He first explains the purpose of the experiment – to see if an AI agent could be hired – and outlines the two core capabilities: (1) finding live U.S. job listings directly in chat and (2) creating, cleaning, and tailoring resumes (PDF output) within the same conversation. Igor walks through the process step‑by‑step: uploading Alfredo’s existing PDF resume, asking ChatGPT to format it professionally, handling the occasional need to request a downloadable file, and then prompting the model to search for jobs that match the resume. He shows the generated job cards with real apply links, discusses how the quality of matches depends on the specificity of the resume ("garbage in, garbage out"), and demonstrates how to tailor the resume to a particular posting (ElevenLabs Executive Assistant Growth Lead) by copying the job title into a prompt. Igor highlights practical tips (use the web version, ask for downloadable files, keep the job‑listing context in the same chat) and notes limitations: the job‑search is U.S.‑only as of June 2026, listings can be stale or already filled, and human review of AI‑generated resumes is essential because recruiters filter out obvious AI‑generated content. He concludes that Alfredo’s resume looks surprisingly employable, reflects on ChatGPT’s move toward an all‑in‑one productivity hub, and invites viewers to subscribe for more feature breakdowns.

So as you might know, I built an AI agent called Alfredo, and he runs a bunch of stuff behind the scenes here at The AI Advantage. And we kept asking ourselves one question: how good is this little guy actually? Like, if Alfredo had to go out there into the real world and get a real job, would anybody hire him? Well, there's a brand new feature inside ChatGPT that can answer exactly that because it helps people in the job search process in multiple ways. It can find you live real job listings across the internet, build professional resumes, resumes, customize them, and all inside of a normal chat. They shipped this, but it's not an obvious feature. So I wanted to make this video to show you, and we're going to use Alfredo as the scapegoat here. We had him write his own resume, and now we're going to send him out into the job market and see what's out there for an AI agent just like Alfredo, which for anybody wondering is an OpenClaw running on a combination of models right here in my studio. It's part tutorial, part experiment, and by the end of this, you'll know exactly how to do this for yourself. And we'll find out if Alfredo is actually employable. Let's get into it. Okay, so straight talk. What is this feature inside of ChatGPT actually? And how do you use it? Well, as I said, there's nothing to turn on, no new button, no settings menu. You just talk to it like you always do, but you gotta know what you ask for. And then it produces new functionality. And really, there's two pieces to it. The first one finds real job listings from across the internet and presents them to you in chat. And the second one is all about resumes, creating, improving, tailoring them for you. So job search and resume work. And they upgraded both those inside of ChatGPT now. But before we go any further, there's one real limitation as of now, like June 2026. The job search piece for now is US only. It works across all plans, free, Go+, Pro. But the second part of it, working with the resumes, works for everybody globally. It might change over time. But as of now, if you're not in the US, you can still follow along and get the resume customization and creation upgrades. That they shipped recently. So what do you need to get started? Well, really just a ChatGPT account, the free one will do, and a resume. Also, it does work best in the web version, which is chatgpt.com. So in our case, we have an account over here and Alfredo wrote his resume in a PDF format. We're going to be using that. But here's the first quick tip. If you don't have a resume at all, they also upgraded their resume creation capabilities. So if you don't have a resume, just ask it to create one. And my recommendation would be to tell it to ask you follow-up questions so it's complete and then just go back and forth with it until it's happy with you. And then you say, okay, give it to me as a PDF. In this tutorial, we're gonna start with Alfredo's resume that I have right here. I'm gonna put it into chat and just ask ChatGPT to clean it up and make it look professional. This is something that everybody should do or at least attempt because it's just seen so many resumes, it knows what works. And chances are there's something that you could probably improve. And this is a particular feature that they actually shipped in the release notes of these ChatGPT jobs features. They actually specify that resume Formatting is one of the features. And with DoubleCheck, there's no button for this. You need to ask. There's probably other ways you can ask for it rather than clean it up and make it look professional. But this seems to work really well. In our testing, we found that sometimes it doesn't immediately give you a file that you can download. If that happens, you just ask for it. Say something like, get me a downloadable file, or I need to download that. And voilà, you get a real file that you can download instead of a wall of text that you now have to put into a document. And yeah, I suppose ChatGPT had a real challenge here with a resume that states that Alfredo is a resident of a Mac Mini and references me, Igor Pogany, as the whole list of references. It's pretty funny, but it cleaned it up nicely. Our boy looks employable on paper. So now let's hop into the other part of the feature, which is actually finding a job that fits. This should be the fun part. Let's find Alfredo a job. And the way this works is simple. You tell ChatGPT what you're looking for, and it uses your resume to find matches. The resume is the context that filters. So I'll be saying this throughout the video, but it really matters what's in there because it's doing the heavy lifting here. The more specific the resume is, the better your matches are going to be. Now, you could just give the resume, or you could add the kind of role that you're looking for, full-time or freelance, location, salary range, that kind of thing. And hey, if you feel like your resume is not strong enough and you want to add some AI skills to what you already know, well, you might have heard this, but we have this community with over 70,000 members called the AI Advantage Club, where I have the honor of teaching you about AI and new types of content every week. There's one new masterclass every month, and you can check out the trial for just $1. Link is in the description below. But now let's continue with this video. And here's the actual prompt that we'll be using. Now, I want you to find Alfredo some job opportunities based on the resume you have. The exact prompting here doesn't matter as much. What matters is you realizing that you can ask for these things and it has these capabilities under the hood. And look at that, it pulls up actual job cards, real listings with apply buttons right there, salary ranges, location, and where the listings actually came from. These aren't made up. That apply link goes to the real active job post. Now, you know what's interesting about these results? Look, let's be honest, Alfredo's resume is, let's call it unique. So the jobs it found for him are a little all over the place. And this is the big takeaway of the video. This tool matches based on what you feed it. Garbage in, garbage out. I've heard that before in relation to AI, right? If your resume is vague, your matches will be vague. If it's sharp and specific, the matches get scary good. There's a lesson there beyond just this ChatGPT feature. So this is your reminder to take that resume seriously. It's the engine for everything here. And now we can get to the real payoff, which is the part that is genuinely new and the reason this whole feature matters. Let's say one of these roles actually looks good to you. I'm just going to pick one here and I'll ask ChatGPT to tailor Alfredo's resume specifically to that job posting. They made this so much better than it was before. And here's the exact prompt that I'll use. Tailor Alfredo's resume for the 11Labs Executive Assistant Growth Lead. I just copy-pasted that exact job name position. Don't invent experience he doesn't have. Just reorganize and emphasize what's already true to fit this role. Again, you could probably prompt a bit more vaguely, but this works really well. By the way, the prompts are just in the description below if you want to use exactly these. It reworks the resume to line up with that specific job and it takes no time at all. So a few things I noticed while doing this: it pulls the most relevant stuff to the top of the resume, it mirrors the language from the listing, and emphasizes the parts that matter for this role. So make sure to do this in the same chat in which you got the different job listings. It really helps. And if you don't have the job listings in the chat because you might not be in the US, or maybe you're interested in a different role, make sure to start a new chat where you just say, hey, here's context on a job that I'm interested in. Then copy-paste the job listing from a different place into here, and then go into customizing your resume in that same chat so it knows about the job listing and it can do all of the work that I'm just talking about here. You can see the difference from the initial resume to the tailored one now. And with that, Alfredo has a custom resume built for one specific opportunity in about 30 seconds. You could probably fire up multiple chats like this at the same time. That's the loop. You find a job, you tailor the resume, you download, then you apply for the job all in one window. No 40 tabs. You could really easily apply to some jobs just like this. But here's some honest limits and tips. Okay, so before you run off and go do this yourself, here's a few things to know. As mentioned, if you're outside of the US, you can still do everything we just did with the resume. You just won't get the live job listings yet. Beyond that, here's just my personal take. The listings here can sometimes be a little shallow, or you'll get an old or already filled position mixed in here. So treat what it finds like a starting point. And honestly, this is probably not in a place where this is the only platform you should be looking for. Still go to LinkedIn and look for listings there. Use this to customize your resumes that you send in. And here's the most important one, and I feel like I need to say this. Always put your own human eyes and judgment on that resume before you send it anywhere. These days, everybody who's hiring for new positions, at least everybody that I know, filters out obvious AI slop as the first thing. It's the easiest filter for lazy applicants these days. But you're different, right? You're watching this video and you're trying to get this right. So review those resumes before you send them out. It's a big time saver. It's not perfect. And those 30 seconds can make or break the first round of applications. It's just a competitive market out there these days. All right, there you go. So what's the verdict on Alfredo's application? Honestly, it's more employable than we all expected here at the iAdvantage. Multiple companies would apparently take a look at our little Mac mini dwelling AI agent. We're very proud of him. And honestly, I almost want to send in that ElevenLabs application. That'd be a different video though. And zooming out, ChatGPT is slowly becoming this all-in-one place where you just get stuff done without bouncing between 10 different sites. That's the direction they're going in.
