JOB-APPLICATION-AGENT

A Python agent that automates job applications on WorkAtAStartup.
It logs in, fetches job links, extracts job descriptions, matches them to your resume, generates tailored cover letters, and can even auto-apply for you.

Note:

You will need:

• An OpenAI API key
• A PDF version of your resume
• Python 3.8+
• A Y Combinator account Signup
• Completed Profile on the Y Combinator Job Portal: WorkAtAStartup

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

git clone <repo-url>
cd JOB-APPLICATION-AGENT

2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment

Windows:

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

macOS/Linux:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

3. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Add Your OpenAI API Key

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

Running the Script

Run the following command:

python app.py

You will be prompted to enter:

• Your Y Combinator (WorkAtAStartup) username
• Your Y Combinator (WorkAtAStartup) password (input is hidden)
• The job portal filter URL (e.g., copy from WorkAtAStartup)
• The name of your resume PDF file (e.g., resume.pdf)
• The number of jobs you want that you want the agent to scan (e.g., 5)

What Happens Next?

1. The agent logs in to WorkAtAStartup using your credentials.
2. It fetches job links based on your filter URL.
3. It extracts job descriptions and compares them to your resume.
4. For good matches, it generates a tailored cover letter.
5. For each job, you will be shown the cover letter and asked if you want to apply (y/n).
6. If you choose to apply, the agent will submit your application automatically.
