1:35requirements such as what location do you want

1:38Can it be remote friendly if it's hybrid

1:40or can it be fully in person What

1:42are the compensation expectations And then you're also

1:46going to give it a little bit more

1:48resource so it knows sort of where to

1:50look This includes looking at the levels fyi

1:53internships guide This guide says all the highest

1:56paying internships and even if you're not looking

1:59for an internship even if you're only looking

2:01for a junior level software engineering job the

2:03company pays their interns 150 an hour What

2:06do you think they're paying their new grad

2:17deep research and build a large database of

2:22all the companies that fit your criteria And

2:48to work for this company don't tell Codex

2:50to fill it in automatically You should probably

2:53work with Codex a little bit to put

2:56a blurb that doesn't sound like AI slop

2:59But for the regular jobs the ones that

3:00just require a workday profile the ones that

3:02just fill in the job application Codex can

3:06do these jobs automatically and it can apply
