Case study · AI Tools & Strategy · Learning Design

Your own agent, built from your goals, that finds jobs and verifies each one is still real.

The student in every example on this page is Alex Rivera, a fictional Digital Media Arts student in motion design and video. They are applying to the Junior Motion Designer posting below. Render stores no student names, emails, or addresses.

What this one is

Your own job-search agent, built from your goals and your resume, and handed to you to run in your own AI. It looks for work while you are in class.

Job boards show you what is popular. This one looks for what fits you, and it does one thing most tools skip: before a job reaches your feed, it opens the employer’s own careers page and confirms the job is still there. A search result is not proof a job exists. Half of applying is not wasting a Tuesday on a posting that closed in June.

How it works, step by step

Reads your goals Writes search terms Sweeps sources Verifies on the employer’s site Drops what you applied to Ranks by fit
  1. Turns your goals into search terms, including the titles you would not have thought to search for. Motion designers get hired as “content designer” more often than they expect.
  2. Sweeps job boards, company boards, and local sources for anything matching.
  3. Opens each employer’s own careers page and confirms the posting is still live and still says what the board said it said. Anything it cannot verify does not make the list.
  4. Removes anything already in your tracker, so you never see a job you applied to two weeks ago.
  5. Compares each posting to your resume and scores the fit, with the reason written out.
  6. Returns a ranked feed. New roles are flagged so you are not rereading last week’s.

The rule that makes this different: a search result is not verification. The agent has to see the job on the company’s own site, on the day it shows it to you, or it does not show it to you.

Two postings were dropped this run: one had already closed on the company’s site, and one was a role Alex applied to in September.

You keep this after the course

It leaves as a file, not as a login

At the end of the semester Render writes this agent out as a plain prompt file in your download, with a readme telling you what to paste where. You run it in your own Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT. Render does not have to still exist for the agent to keep working, and nobody can take it back from you.
