Xing Job Application AI Assistant

The Xing Job Application AI Assistant automates job applications on the Xing platform based on user-defined preferences. This AI Assistant allows users to log in manually (without sharing credentials), specify job types, locations, and remote/onsite preferences in a configuration file, and captures session cookies to perform headless applications.

Features

• Manual Login: Users log in manually without sharing credentials.
• Headless Automation: The AI Assistant uses headless mode to apply for jobs automatically based on user preferences.
• Configurable Preferences: Job search preferences are stored in a configuration file (config.yaml).
• Logging: All application processes and outcomes are logged for easy reference.

Installation

Windows Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/amirdora/Auto_Jobs_Applier_AI.git
   cd xing-job-application-AI Assistant

2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment:

   python -m venv venv
   venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Requirements in the Virtual Environment:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

macOS Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/xing-job-application-AI Assistant.git
   cd xing-job-application-AI Assistant

2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

3. Install Requirements in the Virtual Environment:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

1. Create a config.yaml File: Set up job preferences in config.yaml to specify job type, location, remote preference, and logging file path.

Example config.yaml:

# config.yaml

job_preferences:
  job_type: "Developer"         # Job title to search for
  location: "Frankfurt"         # Job location
  remote: "yes"                 # Options: "yes" for remote, "no" for on-site
  city_id: "2925533.36f095"     # City ID for Frankfurt, change based on target location

logging:
  log_file: "application_log.txt"   # Path for log file

Update job_type, location, remote, and city_id to match your preferences. The log_file specifies where application logs are stored.

Usage

1. Run the AI Assistant:

   With the virtual environment activated, run the main script:

   python app.py

2. Login:

   A window will prompt you to log in to Xing manually. Use the Chrome browser window to complete the login. Close the prompt once logged in; the AI Assistant will capture cookies and proceed with the headless application process.

3. Monitor Logs:

   All actions are logged in application_log.txt. Open this file to track which jobs have been applied to, along with timestamps and any errors encountered.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• ChromeDriver Compatibility:

  If you encounter ChromeDriver issues, make sure that AI Assistanth Chrome and ChromeDriver are updated. If issues persist, specify the ChromeDriver version in requirements.txt and reinstall:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

• Login Issues:

  Ensure that you complete the login manually. The AI Assistant waits for the login process but will timeout if login takes too long. Restart the script if this occurs.

• Permission Errors on macOS:

  If you encounter permission issues on macOS, grant execution permissions to ChromeDriver:

  chmod +x venv/bin/chromedriver

• Session Cookie Issues:

  If the AI Assistant doesn’t seem to remember the login, ensure cookies are correctly saved in the initial session. Restart the AI Assistant if needed.

• Application Logs:

  Review application_log.txt to troubleshoot failed applications. Errors are logged with timestamps to assist in debugging.

This setup ensures a secure and reliable experience for automating job applications on Xing. Adjust configuration options as needed and refer to the logs for a complete record of all applied jobs and any encountered issues.
