- Note: You need to add credit to your OpenAI account to use the API. You can add credit by visiting the [OpenAI billing dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/account/billing).
This file contains your resume information in a structured format. Fill it out with your personal details, education, work experience, and skills. This information is used to auto-fill application forms and generate customized resumes.
To simplify the process of creating your `plain_text_resume.yaml` file, you can use the provided script to generate it from a pdf-based or text-based resume. Follow these steps:
4. The script will generate a `plain_text_resume.yaml` file in the `data_folder` directory.
5. Review the generated YAML file and make any necessary adjustments to ensure all information is correct and complete.
This automated process helps in creating a structured YAML file from your existing resume, saving time and reducing the chance of errors in manual data entry.
The `data_folder_example` folder contains a working example of how the files necessary for the bot's operation should be structured and filled out. This folder serves as a practical reference to help you correctly set up your work environment for the LinkedIn job search bot.
#### Contents
Inside this folder, you'll find example versions of the key files:
-`secrets.yaml`
-`config.yaml`
-`plain_text_resume.yaml`
These files are already populated with fictitious but realistic data. They show you the correct format and type of information to enter in each file.
#### Usage
Using this folder as a guide can be particularly helpful for:
1. Understanding the correct structure of each configuration file
2. Seeing examples of valid data for each field
3. Having a reference point while filling out your personal files
If you don't use the `--resume` option, the bot will automatically generate a unique resume for each application. This feature uses the information from your `plain_text_resume.yaml` file and tailors it to each specific job application, potentially increasing your chances of success by customizing your resume for each position.
If you want to use a specific PDF resume for all applications, place your resume PDF in the `data_folder` directory and run the bot with the `--resume` option:
openai.RateLimitError: Error code: 429 - {'error': {'message': 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.

#### 2. LinkedIn Easy Apply Button Not Found
**Error Message:**
Exception: No clickable 'Easy Apply' button found
**Solution:**
- Ensure that you're logged into LinkedIn properly
- Check if the job listings you're targeting actually have the "Easy Apply" option

- Try increasing the wait time for page loading in the script to ensure all elements are loaded before searching for the button
#### 3. Incorrect Information in Job Applications
**Issue:** Bot provides inaccurate data for experience, CTC, and notice period
**Solution:**
- Update prompts for professional experience specificity
- Add fields in `config.yaml` for current CTC, expected CTC, and notice period
- Modify bot logic to use these new config fields
#### 4. YAML Configuration Errors
**Error Message:**
yaml.scanner.ScannerError: while scanning a simple key
**Solution:**
- Copy example `config.yaml` and modify gradually
- Ensure proper YAML indentation and spacing
- Use a YAML validator tool
- Avoid unnecessary special characters or quotes
#### 5. Bot Logs In But Doesn't Apply to Jobs
**Issue:** Bot searches for jobs but continues scrolling without applying
**Solution:**
- Check for security checks or CAPTCHAs
- Verify `config.yaml` job search parameters
- Ensure your LinkedIn profile meets job requirements
- Review console output for error messages
