Cover Letter Generator - Prototype

#python #showdev

I'm showcasing a cover letter generation tool I prototyped for fun a while back. This doesn't use any deep learning, or anything fancy.

The idea is simple: you define a set of templates, and when running the tool can specify things like company name, role name, and achievements/things to showcase in the cover letter.

Motivations

Mainly, this was written at a point where I was a bit tired and confused with just how many variants of cover letters I'd need to write.

So, I'm a full stack engineer but I can apply to multiple roles

Front-end
Back-end
Full-stack
software-engineer And since each job and company is different there requirements require tuning the cover a bit every so often to match or highlight achievements that they want to see. That's when I reached this point. I wanted to see if I could make a utility that would simplify that process a bit.

Cool Features

You can specify a template, then generate an cover letter based on your requirements at run-time.
You can choose to either copy the generated cover-letter to your clipboard OR,
Generate a pdf, I do this using Fpdf.
a simple JSON datastore to track if you've already generated a cover letter for this role and company (for...reasons).

It's something I wanted to make, and see if it would be useful, and... it was slightly. What doesn't work is that the sentences seem a bit awkward, as I need to figure out the connectors between each achievement section.

Thats it,
Thanks
