automate applying to jobs with email

Automated job application assistant. Searches for jobs on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Wellfound, Agentur für Arbeit, and direct URLs, composes personalised application emails with CV attached, sends via Gmail SMTP, and maintains a JSON tracker. Use when: apply to jobs, find jobs, job search, check tracker, update application, send application email, or check inbox for job replies.

job-email-apply

Automated job application workflow — search, draft, send, track.

How It Works

1. Search — Scans job boards for matching roles
2. Score — Filters by relevance threshold (0.75)
3. Draft — Composes a tailored email using templates
4. Send — Delivers via Gmail SMTP with CV attached
5. Track — Logs every application in Applications.json

Review Mode: First 3 applications go to you for approval before sending. Auto Mode: After that, emails send immediately.
