Introduction:

1. Motivation: LLMs as Components in an ML Pipeline

Solving a task using machine learning methods requires a series of steps that often require large amounts of human effort or labor. Some examples of this are:

• data collection
• data curation or something similar
• data augmentation, etc.

Furthermore there might be more steps after the training the ML model, such as evaluation, explaining the behavior of the model, interpreting model outputs, etc. Many of these steps are also often human labor intensive. In this project, we will investigate how to effectively use Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate various aspects of this pipeline.

2. Our Proposal

We're aiming to create a automated system that makes applying for jobs a breeze. Job hunting has many stages, and we see a chance to automate things and use LLM (Language Model) to make it even smoother. We're looking at different ways, both the usual and some new ideas, to integrate LLM into the job application process. The goal is to reduce how much you have to do and let LLM do its thing, making the whole process easier for you.

Get Started and Setup

1. Prerequisites
   • OS - Linux (Ubuntu 22.04)
   • Python - 3.10.12
   • OpenAI API key - Store it in your environment variable called OPENAI_API_KEY. you can access it thorugh config.py.
2. Create and activate python environment (use python -m venv .env or conda or etc.) to avoid any package dependency conflict.
3. Install Poetry package (dependency management and packaging tool)

   pip install poetry
   

4. Install all required packages. 4.1. Refer pyproject.toml or poetry.lock for list of packages. bash poetry install OR 4.2. We recommend using poetry, if above command not working, we also provided requirements.txt file.

   pip install -r resources/requirements.txt
   

5. on linux you also need to install following pakages to convert latex to pdf.

   sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra
   

   NOTE: try sudo apt-get update if terminal unable to locate package.

Run Code

python main.py --url "JOB_POSTING_URL" --master_data="JSON_USER_MASTER_DATA"

• Refer following example

python main.py --url "https://www.squarespace.com/careers/jobs/5369485?ref=Simplify" --master_data="master_data/user_profile.json"

Limitation and Further growth :

TODO:

• Evaluation of generated resumes: metrics can be
  • Content Preservation: overlap b/w keywords from resume and master data.
  • Goodness of resume for certain job: Overlap b/w generated resume and job description.
• Streamlit app development
