Build an AI Job Application Helper App!

According to the Silicon Valley-based career guidance service Pathrise, job seekers who sent 20+ job applications every week got more interviews and landed a job sooner. That’s a lot of work, especially since the general advice is to customize your resume for every job application. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a way to get some help customizing your resume for every job application you have to fill out?

That’s what we’ll build on Monday, March 17th at the Tampa Bay AI Meetup at Embarc Collective — an AI-powered application that takes two inputs...

✅ Your resume
✅ The job description of a job you’re applying for

...and it produces a version of your resume that’s been fine-tuned in these ways:

📝 Present you in the best possible light
📝 Make changes so that your experiences, talents, and achievements show that you’re an excellent fit for the job
📝 Tune your experience and skills to better match the job requirements
📝 Update your resume to use key words and phrases from the job description
📝 Correct spelling and grammar mistakes
📝 Fix phrasing to be more clear and concise
📝 Improve sentence structure and use action verbs

Bring your laptop! We’ll provide you with a “starter” project and access to an AI account, and we’ll walk you through the process of writing a Python app in Jupyter Notebook that does what we described above. In the process, you’ll learn:

💻 About Jupyter Notebook, one of the preferred tools for AI and data science
💻 How to make calls to an AI API
💻 How to build an application based on an AI API

You will leave the meetup with a working Python app that does what we’ve described above: help you fine-tune your resume for specific job applications!

Join us on Monday, March 17th and let’s build this app!
