Inspiration
Software jobs in this day are very competitive, which leads to aspiring software developers to apply to as many jobs as possible, but to make unique and high quality cover letters for these applications takes time and effort, which can be better used to apply for more jobs or to better self skills and prepare for potential interviews.
What it does
What the app does is generate a cover letter. The user will have to provide a resume, a linkedin job posting url, any extra details they wish to add, and select a template, and that will be sent to a LLM which will generate a latex document for the cover letter. The user can then edit this document, and when they are happy with the result, they are able to download the document, where the app will compile the latex, and download a pdf of the cover letter
How we built it
We build it using OpenAI's api model, a backend made in python utilising Flask, and a frontend made in Javascript utilising React
Challenges we ran into
Some challenges we ran into was having trouble with the compilation of latex file, which was caused by some import issues which we solve
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This app is an accomplishment we are very proud of as it work as is intended and has the functionalities we wanted. We are proud of how this app turned out, and we may plan on deploying it in the future.
What we learned
Some things we learned were how to set up a flask backend, as well as just some project structure
