Final interview.

They ask:

“How would you use AI to improve this role in your first 90 days?”

Your mind freezes.

You say something vague about automation and efficiency.

Interview ends. No offer.

Here’s what they actually want.
They are not testing if you know fancy AI tools.

They are testing if you can think.

They want to see if you understand:

- The business
- The role
- The problems
- The results

If you answer with buzzwords, you fail.
If you answer with a plan, you win.

Here is the simple structure to follow.
Step 1: Show you understand the job

Start like this:

“In the first 30 days, I would focus on understanding [core responsibility], [key workflow], and where time or revenue is being lost.”

Example (Sales role):

“In the first 30 days, I would study the lead pipeline, how reps follow up, and where deals are getting stuck.”

Now they know you get the job.

I don’t understand why people aren’t using Claude Co-Work to automate real computer work.

I CAN REPLACE HOURS OF MANUAL TASKS IN 60 DAYS USING ONLY CLAUDE CO-WORK.

Here’s exactly how I’d do it:👇
1. Clean and Organize Downloads Folder

Prompt

My Downloads folder is very messy. Please make new folders inside it like “Documents”, “Pictures”, “Videos”, and “Old Files”. Put each file into the right folder based on what kind of file it is. If a file is older than six months, put it in the “Old Files” folder.

Do not delete any files. When you are done, make a simple note that tells me what you did.
2. Create a Meeting Summary Document

Prompt

I have many notes from our meetings in this folder. Please read them and write a short paper (summary) that tells the most important things we talked about, what we decided, and who needs to do what. Make sure the paper is not longer than 500 words and uses clear words.
