🤖 AI-Powered Job Matcher & Resume Customizer

Description

This advanced workflow automates the entire job search and preparation process, moving beyond simple notifications to provide AI-driven career intelligence.

It connects to LinkedIn to scrape fresh job postings, filters against jobs you've already seen, and then uses powerful LLMs (Mistral Large/Small) to perform a detailed resume-to-job match, generate tailored cover letters, and provide concrete resume improvement suggestions. All data is logged into a Google Sheet for comprehensive tracking, and a clean, single Daily Digest Email summarizes the top 5 matches found each day.


✨ Key Features

  • Automated Scheduling: Runs daily to find new job postings.
  • Multi-Keyword Search: Uses your main job title and three alternate titles generated by an AI Agent for maximum search coverage.
  • LinkedIn Web Scraping: Pulls new job URLs, details, location, and salary data from LinkedIn Search results.
  • Duplicate Prevention: Uses the Compare Datasets node to ensure only new, unseen jobs are processed against your master Google Sheet.
  • Intelligent Matching (LLM): The workflow performs a detailed job-to-resume comparison, generating:
    • A Match Score (0-100) with evidence for alignment in skills, experience, and domain.
    • A Tailored Cover Letter specific to the job title and company.
    • Actionable Resume Improvement points (e.g., [ADD], [QUANTIFY]) to optimize your resume for the specific role.
  • Centralized Tracking: Saves all job data, match scores, cover letters, and resume suggestions to a Google Sheet.
  • Professional Daily Digest: Sends a single, clean HTML email summarizing the top 5 highest-scoring job matches for easy review.

🛠️ Prerequisites

  1. n8n Credentials:
    • Google Drive: To download your resume (PDF/DOCX file URL).
    • Google Sheets: To connect to your job tracking sheet.
    • Gmail: To send the daily digest email.
    • Mistral Cloud: For the LLM processing (Resume Breakdown, Job Matching, and Resume Analysis).
  2. External Files:
    • A Job Tracking Google Sheet (used as a master database).
    • Your current Resume file (PDF recommended, hosted on Google Drive).
  3. Setup Notes:
    • Update the file links (Download Resume node) and Google Sheet details (Get row(s)/Append nodes).
    • Set your personal email address in the Send Digest Email node.
    • Review the LLM prompts to tailor the AI agent's persona and output fields to your exact needs.
