Simple Python Script to Automated Job Applications

Simple Python Script to Automated Job Applications

Here is a basic Python script for a bot that can automatically apply to jobs for you:

 

 

# Import the required libraries
import requests

# Set up the variables for the job application
job_title = "Software Developer"
job_description = "We are looking for an experienced software developer to join our team. The successful candidate will have experience with Python and a passion for building high-quality, user-friendly applications."
job_url = "https://www.example.com/job/software-developer"
resume_file = "path/to/resume.pdf"
cover_letter_file = "path/to/cover_letter.pdf"

# Submit the job application
submit_job_application(job_title, job_description, job_url, resume_file, cover_letter_file)

# Function to submit the job application
def submit_job_application(job_title, job_description, job_url, resume_file, cover_letter_file):
  # Check if the job meets the criteria for applying
  if meets_criteria(job_title, job_description):
    # Submit the job application
    response = apply_to_job(job_url, resume_file, cover_letter_file)
    # Handle the response from the job application
    handle_response(response)

# Function to check if the job meets the criteria for applying
def meets_criteria(job_title, job_description):
  # Check if the job title contains the keywords "software developer"
  if "software developer" in job_title:
    return True
  return False

# Function to apply to the job
def apply_to_job(job_url, resume_file, cover_letter_file):
  # Set up the request to submit the job application
  files = {
    "resume": open(resume_file, "rb"),
    "cover_letter": open(cover_letter_file, "rb")
  }
  response = requests.post(job_url, files=files)
  # Return the response from the job application
  return response.text

# Function to handle the response from the job application
def handle_response(response):
  # Check the response and log the result
  if response == "success":
    print("Job application submitted successfully!")
  else:
    print(f"Error submitting job application: {response}")

 

This script uses the requests library to submit a job application to a specified URL, along with a resume and cover letter. It also includes functions to check if the job meets certain criteria (such as containing specific keywords in the title) and to handle the response from the job application. You can customize these functions to suit your specific needs and criteria for applying to jobs.
