Workflow (Per Run)

1. Search Jobs

Open Indeed in browser (pinned tab)

Search each target title from config.json

Filter: Remote or DFW hybrid, posted in last 24h

Collect job URLs, titles, companies

2. Deduplicate

Check each job against tracking/applications.json

Skip already-applied or already-skipped jobs

3. Analyze Fit

For each new job:

Navigate to the job posting, read full description

Check against avoid_industries and avoid_keywords

Score fit based on skills match, experience alignment

Prioritize AI/agent roles highest

4. Tailor Resume

For jobs that pass fit check:

Use resume.json as base

Reorder bullet points to lead with most relevant experience

Emphasize matching skills/technologies

DO NOT fabricate experience or skills

Generate PDF via LaTeX compilation

5. Apply

Detect ATS platform from the application URL:

Greenhouse (boards.greenhouse.io): Single page form — name, email, phone, resume upload, optional fields

Lever (jobs.lever.co): Single page — similar to Greenhouse

Workday (myworkday*.com): Multi-step wizard — create account or sign in, then fill each step

Indeed Easy Apply: Quick apply through Indeed's interface

Fill all required fields from config.json candidate data. Upload tailored PDF.

6. Log

Record in applications.json:

{
  "id": "uuid",
  "date": "ISO timestamp",
  "company": "Company Name",
  "title": "Job Title",
  "url": "application URL",
  "platform": "greenhouse|lever|workday|indeed",
  "status": "applied|skipped|failed",
  "skip_reason": null,
  "resume_version": "tailored-resumes/company-title.pdf",
  "notes": ""
}

Cron Schedule

Runs 3x daily:

Important Rules

NEVER lie on applications — only reorder/emphasize existing experience

Skip haram industries (banking, mortgage, lending, alcohol, gambling, etc.)

Log EVERY job encountered (applied or skipped with reason)

If an application fails mid-form, log as "failed" and move on

Report summary to #job-applications Discord channel after each run

ALWAYS close browser tabs after completing an application — use browser(action="close") or navigate away to prevent memory buildup and tab clutter
