What you'll learn

Easy to pick up, built to get you the next job

No coding background needed, and you write code with Claude as you go.

Every section below turns into something a hiring manager recognises, not just notes.

Build a qualified target list before you send a single application
  • You'll write a one-paragraph role thesis that rules out poor fits instantly, so your effort concentrates only where it can actually convert.
  • You'll source and score 40 target companies against 5 explicit criteria in writing, the same structured thinking a hiring manager recognises as operational rigour.
  • You'll track every company through 5 pipeline stages: sourcing, qualification, outreach, follow-up, and conversion, with no coding or technical setup required.
Walk into every screening call knowing something the other candidates don't
  • You'll build a repeatable company research skill that produces a one-page brief on any target: business model, recent news, likely interview themes, and 5 specific questions to ask back.
  • You'll run that skill across your top 10 qualified companies so you're prepared before any conversation starts, not scrambling the night before.
  • You'll learn, through a detailed case study, exactly how a single researched question can redirect a routine screen into a conversation with the hiring manager.
Tailor your resume to any job description in under 10 minutes, with nothing invented
  • You'll build a verified claims inventory of every real, defensible thing you've done, then create a tailoring workflow that maps genuine claims to a job description without adding a single unverifiable one.
  • You'll run an anti-slop checklist before every send, catching the generic AI patterns that trained recruiters spot almost instantly.
  • No prior technical background is needed: the workbook walks you through every step, and the workflow runs itself once it's set up.
Practice interviews out loud and track whether you're actually improving
  • You'll build an interview prep engine that generates role-specific question banks grounded in your own research briefs, not a generic list lifted from the internet.
  • You'll run mock sessions with an AI interviewer that asks realistic follow-up questions, then log your actual answers so iteration is based on evidence, not gut feel.
  • You'll be able to show a hiring manager a documented, logged practice process: the kind of disciplined preparation that operators at the top of a shortlist demonstrate.
Outcome

AC 204: Run Your Job Search Like a Company

8 lessons, 5 chapters

Built from real implementation work

Every agent, skill file, and dataset is drawn from 25+ years and 50+ Oracle ERP implementations across pharma, manufacturing, semiconductor, and distribution.

Kept current with the stack

Claude Code, skills, and MCP move fast. Your licence includes every system update for as long as you're subscribed, so what you build keeps working as the tools change.

Where most people are stuck

A good AI job search strategy starts with structure. Without it, a search turns into a pile of open browser tabs: an application here, a follow-up there, no view of what's working and no step that separates strong targets from time-wasters. You send dozens of applications and hear almost nothing back. When a recruiter asks why you want to work at their company, you give the answer everyone gives. Effort is rarely the issue. The search has no pipeline and no research system, so every application feels like a lottery ticket. This course builds both, along with a resume tailoring workflow and an interview prep engine.

What you'll be able to do, module by module

Every module leaves you able to build and run something real. Here is the syllabus, in the order you work through it.

Curriculum

5 chapters · 8 lessons

Procurement and operations employers look for structured thinking, and a claim of experience doesn't show it. A documented pipeline, a company research system and logged interview practice do. You prove you're organised with the artefacts you built during the search itself.

How it works

From subscribing to running your first artifact

  1. Subscribe and open the workbook

    AC 204 is a workbook-style course, so every lesson gives you a concrete deliverable, not a lecture to absorb. Log in, open Section 1, and read the one-page framing that redefines your job search as a pipeline with 5 stages and a throughput goal.

  2. Write your role thesis and build your qualified 40

    Your first real artifact is a one-paragraph role thesis and a 40-company target list, every company scored against 5 explicit criteria in writing. No coding involved. The lesson tells you exactly what to write, what sources to pull from, and what the scoring table looks like.

  3. Stack the tools: research skill, tailoring workflow, interview engine

    Each subsequent section adds a working capability on top of that list: a company research skill that produces a structured brief in about 20 minutes, a resume tailoring workflow that keeps every claim verifiable, and an interview prep engine that logs real practice rounds. By the end you have a full operating system for your search, not a folder of notes.

A worked example from this program

From zero structure to a hiring manager conversation in one search cycle

  1. Write the role thesis

    You spend 20 minutes writing one paragraph: mid-market procurement operations roles, manufacturing or industrial distribution, companies between 200 and 2,000 employees, where the function is being professionalised rather than just maintained. That thesis immediately rules out half the jobs you'd have applied to blindly.

  2. Build and score the qualified 40

    You pull candidates from job boards, an industry association list, and two referrals, then score each one against role fit, company stage, culture signal, growth trajectory, and realistic timeline in writing. Eighteen companies don't make the cut. You know that before sending anything.

  3. Run the research skill on your top 10

    You run your company research skill on the top 10 from the list. For one target, the brief surfaces a supplier consolidation initiative announced six weeks ago, directly relevant to the category management role you're applying for. You note the fifth tailored question: how that consolidation is reshaping the team's near-term priorities.

  4. Tailor the resume and clear the checklist

    You run your tailoring workflow against that company's job description. It maps three claims from your verified inventory to the real requirements, reorders the experience section accordingly, and flags one phrase as a vague superlative with no number attached. You cut it before sending.

  5. Ask the researched question on the screening call

    The recruiter pauses when you raise the supplier consolidation initiative. They say most candidates haven't mentioned it. The conversation shifts from a scripted screen to a real discussion of current team priorities. Two days later, the hiring manager is looped in directly.

Proof you can show

The toolkit you'll build and run in this program

You leave with working assets, not notes.

Real things you can demo in an interview.

A written role thesis and a 40-company qualified target list, scored against 5 explicit criteria, ready to act on immediately.

A configured company research skill that produces a consistent one-page brief covering business model, recent news, likely interview themes, and 5 tailored questions for any target company.

A verified claims inventory and a resume tailoring workflow tested end to end, with three tailored resumes cleared through the anti-slop checklist as portfolio proof.

A working interview prep engine with role-specific question banks for your top 3 targets, a configured AI mock interviewer, and a log of real practice sessions showing documented improvement.

Who this is for

You'll get the most from this if

Procurement, supply-chain, and operations professionals who want to move into a more senior or more specialised role and need a search process that matches their analytical standards.

Recent graduates and early-career candidates who want to compete with more experienced applicants by running a more structured, better-researched search.

Career changers entering procurement or operations from adjacent fields who need a disciplined way to identify and qualify the right target companies before anyone else does.

Anyone who has sent dozens of applications with little return and wants to understand why, then fix it with a system rather than more volume.

Questions

Straight answers before you subscribe

What does an AI job search strategy look like in this course?

You treat the search as an operating problem. You build a 40-company pipeline with a qualification step, a company research skill, a resume tailoring workflow with truth guardrails, and an interview prep engine where every practice round is logged.

Do I need any coding or technical background to do this course?

None at all. AC 204 is a workbook-style course designed for people who have never written a line of code. Every step is written out in plain language, every tool is set up through guided lessons, and the hands-on work starts in the first lesson. If you can write a paragraph and fill in a table, you can do everything in this course.

Will this work with my current setup, or do I need specific software?

The course is built around tools you set up during the lessons, so you're not expected to arrive with anything already configured. The workbook lessons walk you through setting up each skill and workflow from scratch. The daily live sessions are a good place to ask if something isn't behaving as expected on your machine or account.

What if I start and it's not right for me?

Refunds depend on the plan. The yearly plan has a 14-day full refund. In India every plan is a one-time pass that isn't refunded, but it never renews without you, and you can try a free lesson before you buy. The refunds page has the full policy.

How does the course stay current if the tools or job market change?

The content is updated as the tools and approaches change. When a lesson or workflow is revised, enrolled students get the updated version automatically, so what you practise matches how the tools behave now.

Can I use the resumes, briefs, and workflows I build here commercially, for example in a real job search or to support my team?

Everything you produce during the course is yours to use in your own job search without restriction: your qualified target list, research briefs, tailored resumes and interview logs. The course licence covers your personal use of the skills and artefacts you build. If you want to use course materials to train others or deliver them commercially, check the licence terms or ask during a live session and you'll get a straight answer.

Finish this program and walk in as the operator employers can't ignore, not another applicant with no experience.
