PLUS. data_folder_example

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

Usage

0. LinkedIn language To ensure the bot works, your LinkedIn language must be set to English.

1. Data Folder: Ensure that your data_folder contains the following files:

   • secrets.yaml
   • config.yaml
   • plain_text_resume.yaml

2. Run the Bot:

   LinkedIn_AIHawk offers flexibility in how it handles your pdf resume:

• Dynamic Resume Generation: 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.

  python main.py
  

• Using a Specific Resume: 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:

  python main.py --resume /path/to/your/resume.pdf
  

Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. OpenAI API Rate Limit Errors

Error Message:

openai.RateLimitError: Error code: 429 - {'error': {'message': 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. 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:

• Check your OpenAI API billing settings at https://platform.openai.com/account/billing
• Ensure you have added a valid payment method to your OpenAI account
• Note that ChatGPT Plus subscription is different from API access
• If you've recently added funds or upgraded, wait 12-24 hours for changes to take effect
• Free tier has a 3 RPM limit; spend at least $5 on API usage to increase

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
• Verify that your search parameters in the config.yaml file are correct and returning jobs with the "Easy Apply" button
• 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

General Troubleshooting Tips

• Use the latest version of the script
• Verify all dependencies are installed and updated
• Check internet connection stability
• Use VPNs cautiously to avoid triggering LinkedIn security
• Clear browser cache and cookies if issues persist
