# LinkedIn Job Application Bot
**Built with**
**[Selenium docs](https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/)**
## A Python bot that will apply to the, "Easy Apply", jobs based on your preferences.
- I may be adding Ollama at some point in the future.
- This repo/codebase is a work in progress, & is intended to be an updated version of [my other linkedin bot](https://github.com/LinuxUser255/linkedin-application-bot)
# Test script: [test_apply_working_full.py](https://github.com/LinuxUser255/LinkedIn_Apply/blob/main/Test_Scripts/test_apply_working_full.py)
## You will need to download the [Chrome Driver](https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/#stable) and palce it in the directory alongside the python files
**https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/#stable**
# TO DO - Most recent: See [TODO.md](https://github.com/LinuxUser255/LinkedIn_Apply/blob/main/TODO.md)
```
Many of the important ones are complete.
The next thing is integrating much of the test_apply script functionality into linkedin.py
```
**Additional items. Some completed.**
**Browser handling issues**
- [x] Eliminate launching a new browser/login session with each iteration.
- [x] Each URL is being visited in the same window
- [x] Conduct all searches and applications within one browser session.
**Primary purpose of the Bot: Completion of the Easy apply section**
- [x] Currently troubleshooting XPath click using:
## Try it here: [test_apply_working_full.py](https://github.com/LinuxUser255/LinkedIn_Apply/blob/main/Test_Scripts/test_apply_working_full.py) script
- [ ] Once the above is working, itegrate it's functionality into `linkedin.py`
- [x] Resolve the click on "Easy apply" button: Works in `click_button_test.py`
- [x] Implement separation of concerns for finding and clicking elements
- [x] Create module for testing sign in
- [x] Create a module to test login and apply
- [x] Create functionality to handle the submit apply pop-up.
- [x] clicking Next (submit application) and
- [x] click review
- [x] Modify test_apply.py to be re-run without repeating the login everytime
- [ ] Integrate the four methods used to click the Easy Apply button into `linkedin.py`
- [x] Tie it all together in `main.py`
**Cool ideas might try: After all of the Easy apply functionality is complete.**
- [ ] Make bot able to apply on external links
- [ ] Make it able to register & logon to external job applications
**Misc..**
- [x] Follow PEP 8 Syle Guide coding conventions:
- [x] Change all Variable and Function names to lower case
- [x] Avoid account login issues
- [x] Headless browser experience (Only the login and home page is shown. No link visitin.)
- [x] You can change this in the `config.py` file. Where it says `headless = True`
**Other**
- [x] Fix specified HTML element discovery issues
- [x] ~~Chromium not woking properly with Linux~~
- [x] More robustness of the bot for different fields
- [ ] Much later, maybe add support to other major job seeking websites (Glassdoor, AngelCo, Greenhouse,
- [ ] Possibly need? Evade Anti-Bot detection
