How to use Claude to run an internship search

Akbar, an electrical engineering junior at Mizzou, described spending one to two hours a day repeating personal information across internship application forms. His Google Sheet tracker was only partly maintained, and applications were slipping through the cracks. He gave Claude Code his resume, transcript and real application data, including his work-authorization and future sponsorship needs. He asked it to apply, log everything and avoid lying.

The author reports that the agent submitted more than 228 applications across five applicant-tracking platforms. It split his resume into software and electrical-engineering variants, chose the appropriate version for each application and tracked the work in Google Sheets. It skipped citizenship-restricted roles and recorded CAPTCHA obstacles as blocked.

He then asked it to research engineering companies in Uzbekistan and find outreach contacts. It identified nine professionals on LinkedIn, wrote personalized connection notes and sent requests. The next day, it checked sent invitations. The author reported that two of eight had accepted within 24 hours, with a Worley director replying in Uzbek. The agent translated that message and extracted a direct HR email address.

The account also describes six parallel subagents handling applications, research, outreach and reply checks. Who it's for: Internship seekers who want help coordinating applications and professional outreach using accurate personal information.
