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

   • plain_text_resume.yaml

2. Run the Bot:

   LinkedIn_AIHawk offers flexibility in how it handles your pdf resume:

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
