Automated Job Application Sender

Purpose

Automatically identify qualifying job opportunities from a tracking database, send personalized application emails using templates, and update the application status.

Core Workflow

1. Locate Database: Find the specified Notion database (e.g., "Job Tracker").
2. Filter Entries: Query for entries with status "Checking".
3. Apply Criteria: Filter candidates based on:
   • Minimum salary > $3000
   • Work type: On-site
   • Position: "software engineer" OR "software manager"
   • Location within 500 km of a reference point (e.g., UCLA)
4. Send Email: For each qualifying entry:
   • Generate email from template using {Company Name} and {Position} placeholders.
   • Send to the contact email from the database.
   • Use subject: "Job Application for {Position}"
5. Update Status: Change the entry's status from "Checking" to "Applied".

Key Instructions

• Salary Parsing: Extract the minimum salary from "Salary Range" fields (e.g., "$4200 - $4800/mo" → 4200). Handle various formats.
• Location Filtering: Use geocoding to get coordinates for company locations and the reference point (UCLA). Calculate distances using the Haversine formula (see scripts/calculate_distance.py).
• Template: The default email body is: "Hi {Company Name}, I am Janet Mendoza, I want to apply for the {Position} position..."
• Error Handling: If geocoding fails for a location, log it and skip that entry. Ensure email sending and status updates are atomic per entry (send email, then update status).

Required Tools

• notion-API-post-search: To find the database/page.
• notion-API-post-database-query: To fetch entries with status "Checking".
• notion-API-patch-page: To update the status to "Applied".
• google_map-maps_geocode: To get coordinates for distance calculations.
• emails-send_email: To send the application email.
• local-claim_done: To signal task completion.

Configuration Notes

• The reference location (UCLA) and distance threshold (500 km) are currently hardcoded in the logic. For flexibility, consider making them parameters.
• The email template and sender name ("Janet Mendoza") are fixed. For customization, see assets/email_template.txt.
