How does it work?

1. You define dynamic sections in your CV template
2. You provide the program a job description (via Seek or Textfile)
3. The algorithm will insert the most relevant information and generate a CV pdf

How to use?

usage: ./CVForYou --seek-stats -a
 -cv,--cv-generator   Generate a dynamic CV
 -h,--help            print this message
 -sn,--seek-notes     Write notes on saved SEEK roles
 -sr,--seek-resumes   Upload CV directly to SEEK
 -ss,--seek-stats     Aggregate stats from Seek

usage: ./CVForYou --cv_generator -d <document_path> -c <compare_path> -s
                  <section_paths>
 -c,--compare <arg>              file to compare keywords to
 -ca,--compare-seek-all          compare from your seek saved job
 -cc,--compare-cache <arg>       compare from a previous cached seek saved
                                 job
 -cs,--compare-seek <arg>        pull JD from seek to compare
 -d,--document <arg>             path to the dynamic document
 -h,--help                       print this message
 -o,--output <arg>               output directory
 -s,--section <arg>              path to section definition files
 -sd,--section directory <arg>   directory of section definition files

Basic Usage

Pre-requisites

Either:

• Maven, Chrome
• Docker

Use Textfile as input

1. Build the project

./build

3. Build sample document via textfile job description

./CVForYou -d assets/sample_components/document.html \
           -c assets/sample_components/description1.txt \
           -s assets/sample_components/sections/projects.json assets/sample_components/sections/tags.json

Use Seek URL as input

1. Build the project

./build

2. Obtain a Seek Job URL

• e.g. https://www.seek.com.au/job/12345678

3. Build the sample document via seek integration

./CVForYou -d assets/sample_components/document.html \
           -cs <seek_job_url> \
           -s assets/sample_components/sections/projects.json assets/sample_components/sections/tags.json

Using SEEK integration as input

The command line argument -ca, --compare-seek-all pulls data from your 'Saved Jobs' list in Seek to generate CVs. As such it requires an extra step to configure the auth token.

How to configure Seek auth token?

1. Login to Seek
2. Open browser console
3. Run Script in console

let auth = {};

const cookies = document.cookie.split('; ');
cookies.forEach(cookie => {
  const [key, value] = cookie.split('=');
  if(key == "JobseekerSessionId") { 
      auth[key] = value;
  }
});



for (let i = 0; i < localStorage.length; i++) {
  const key = localStorage.key(i);

  // Check if the key contains a specific pattern or substring
  if (key.includes("auth0spajs")) {
    const value = localStorage.getItem(key);
    let obj = JSON.parse(value);
    auth["access_token"] = obj.body.access_token;
    auth["refresh_token"] =  obj.body.refresh_token;
    auth["client_id"] =  obj.body.client_id;
  }
}

console.log(JSON.stringify(auth));

4. Copy-paste result in file named auth in repo directory

Using Docker

1. Build the docker image

docker build -t cv-for-you .

Note: You will need to rebuild if you manually update the auth key

2. Generate the sample document

docker run -v ./assets:/app/assets \
           -v ./cache:/app/cache cv-for-you \
           -d assets/sample_components/document.html \
           -c assets/sample_components/description1.txt \
           -s assets/sample_components/sections/projects.json assets/sample_components/sections/tags.json \
           -o ./assets/sample_components/

As you add more dynamic sections you may prefer to run the following to shrink the command size

docker run \
-v ./assets:/app/assets \
-v ./cache:/app/cache \
cv-for-you \
	-d /app/assets/sample_components/document.html \
	-ca \
	-sd /app/assets/sample_components/sections/ \
	-o ./assets/sample_components/

Note: Be sure to output to a mounted location

Demo

Define generic sections in your CV, so they be programmatically populated

Demo 1 - .NET

Given a .NET job description, generate a CV tailored for .NET roles

Demo 2 - Javascript

Given a Javascript job description, generate a CV tailored for Javascript roles
