automate applying to jobs with email

job-email-apply

Automated job application workflow — search, draft, send, track.

How It Works

1. Search — Scans job boards for matching roles
2. Score — Filters by relevance threshold (0.75)
3. Draft — Composes a tailored email using templates
4. Send — Delivers via Gmail SMTP with CV attached
5. Track — Logs every application in Applications.json

Review Mode: First 3 applications go to you for approval before sending. Auto Mode: After that, emails send immediately.
