My Story
I graduated in 2023 with a CS degree and, like many new grads, found it nearly impossible to secure a decent job. I submitted hundreds of applications over three months and had to settle for a monotonous manual testing gig. It was miserable, but I dreaded applying for new positions even more. So I started building my own tools to speed up the job search process. These tools ultimately helped me land my current role as a software engineer at a startup, where I now earn double my old salary. Given how time-consuming and frustrating modern job searches can be, having smart, automated tools can make all the difference. We deserve options when it comes to choosing our next job, not just settling for whatever comes our way.

What It Does
1. One-Click Form Completion: A lot like existing auto-fill systems, but with a twist. This extension doesn’t just rely on your saved profile details. It uses GPT to fill out every answer and instantly submit the form. Essentially, one click can complete and send an application on your behalf.
2. Advanced Search: Instead of manually typing search strings, you can use a custom form that puts together targeted Google queries—specifically aimed at finding roles that the extension can auto-fill.
3. Batch Apply: Combine the two features above to quickly discover relevant jobs, select the ones you want, and submit applications to all of them together with just a couple of clicks.

Why It’s Mostly Free
This is a personal project that is still really early in development. I genuinely want to help job seekers, so there are no hidden costs or subscriptions. The only cost that might come into play is your OpenAI usage, which usually amounts to less than a penny for each application.
