Introduction

Auto_Jobs_Applier_AIHawk is a cutting-edge, automated tool designed to revolutionize the job search and application process. In today's fiercely competitive job market, where opportunities can vanish in the blink of an eye, this program offers job seekers a significant advantage by leveraging the power of automation and artificial intelligence.

The Challenge of Modern Job Hunting

In the digital age, the job search landscape has undergone a dramatic transformation. While online platforms have opened up a world of opportunities, they have also intensified competition. Job seekers often find themselves spending countless hours scrolling through listings, tailoring applications, and repetitively filling out forms. This process can be not only time-consuming but also emotionally draining, leading to job search fatigue and missed opportunities.

Configuration

1. secrets.yaml

This file contains sensitive information. Never share or commit this file to version control.

• llm_api_key: [Your OpenAI or Ollama API key or Gemini API key]
  • Replace with your OpenAI API key for GPT integration
  • To obtain an API key, follow the tutorial at: https://medium.com/@lorenzozar/how-to-get-your-own-openai-api-key-f4d44e60c327
  • Note: You need to add credit to your OpenAI account to use the API. You can add credit by visiting the OpenAI billing dashboard.
  • According to the OpenAI community and our users' reports, right after setting up the OpenAI account and purchasing the required credits, users still have a Free account type. This prevents them from having unlimited access to OpenAI models and allows only 200 requests per day. This might cause runtime errors such as:
    Error code: 429 - {'error': {'message': 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. ...}}
{'error': {'message': 'Rate limit reached for gpt-4o-mini in organization <org> on requests per day (RPD): Limit 200, Used 200, Requested 1.}}
    OpenAI will update your account automatically, but it might take some time, ranging from a couple of hours to a few days.
    You can find more about your organization's limits on the official page.

For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.', 'type': 'insufficient_quota', 'param': None, 'code': 'insufficient_quota'}}

Solution:

Issue: Bot provides inaccurate data for experience, CTC, and notice period

Solution:
