Questions you could be asked

  1. What's a project where you used Claude hands-on?
  2. Walk me through how you've used Cursor in your day-to-day work.
  3. What are the limits of Claude Code that you've run into, and how did you work around them?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: Claude, Cursor, and Claude Code. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
