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 limits on the official page.

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 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.

Using the data_folder_example

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

  1. Account language To ensure the bot works, your account language must be set to English.

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

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

  3. Output Folder: Contains the output of the bot.

    • data.json results of the --collect mode
    • failed.json failed applications
    • open_ai_calls.json all the calls made to the LLM model
    • skipped.json applications that were skipped
    • success.json successful applications

    Note: answers.json is not part of the output folder and can be found in the root of the project. It is used to store the answers of the questions asked to the user. Can be used to update the bot with corrected answers. Search for Select an option, 0, Authorized, and how many years of to verify correct answers.

  4. Run the Bot:

    Auto_Jobs_Applier_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

  • Using the collect mode: If you want to collect job data only to perform any type of data analytics you can use the bot with the --collect option. This will store in output/data.json file all data found from linkedin jobs offers.

    python main.py --collect

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
