# LinkedIn Unfollow After Applying
## Description
This userscript automatically unchecks the "Follow this company" checkbox after applying for a job on LinkedIn. It's a convenient script for LinkedIn users who want to prevent following companies unintentionally when applying for jobs.
## Features
- Automatically unchecks the "Follow this company" checkbox on LinkedIn job application pages.
- Works for any LinkedIn job posting URL.
## Installation
1. Install a userscript manager extension for your browser. We recommend using [Tampermonkey](https://www.tampermonkey.net/) for Chrome, Firefox, and other major browsers.
2. Click on the [LinkedIn Unfollow After Applying Userscript](userscript.js) to open it.
3. Click the "Raw" button at the top of the script to view its source code.
4. Tampermonkey should recognize the script and open a new tab displaying its details.
5. Click the "Install" button to add the script to your Tampermonkey extension.
6. The script is now installed and active. It will automatically uncheck the "Follow this company" checkbox on LinkedIn job application pages.
## Usage
1. Visit a LinkedIn job application page, such as `https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/1234567890/`.
2. Apply for the job as usual.
3. The script will automatically uncheck the "Follow this company" checkbox if it's present on the page.
