Bro used AI to apply to 1,000+ jobs and got flooded with interviews

His AI bot made thousands of job applications automatically while he slept

His AI bot made thousands of job applications automatically while he slept — only for him to wake up an interview request in the morning.

Over the course of 1 month he got dozens of job interviews — over 50.

And of course he’s not the only one — we now have several services out there doing this.

But we can build it ourselves and start getting interviews on autopilot.

Looking at this demo already confirms my expectation that the service would be best as a browser extension.

No not best — the only way it can work.

Lol of course no way LinkedIn’s gonna let you get all that juicy job data with a public API.

So scraping and web automation is the only way.

So now if we want to set it up for LinkedIn like it is here.

Of course we can just go ahead and start the automation — we need some important input.

Looking at the input and their data types

Skills — list of text so string array/list

Job location — string of course, even though they could be an geolocation feature to automate this away.

Number of jobs to apply — too easy

Experience level and job type – string

If I’m building my own personal bot then I can just use hardcoded variables for all these instead of creating a full-blown UI.

So once you click the button it’s going to go straight to a LinkedIn URL from the Chrome extension page.

So it’s using some basic string interpolation to search the LinkedIn Jobs page with one of the skills from the input.

And we can rapidly go through the list with start query that paginates the items:
