While most people scroll job boards, I'm building an agent to do it for me.
I call her Lisa. She's not public she works exclusively for me, and honestly she's earned that exclusivity.
Here's her routine:
🔍 Every 6 hours she scrapes Fuzu, BrighterMonday, JobWebKenya, MyJobMag, and LinkedIn.
🧠 Each job gets scored against my CV using Gemini 2.0 Flash. (I'd switch her to Claude or OpenAI if she misbehaves cuz she can get moody at times.)
✉️ Strong matches? She drafts a tailored cover letter.
📱 Then she pings me on Telegram for me to confirm if she sends or skip.
I stay in control (im still the boss 😅 ). She has to do the legwork. Basically my personal HR intern who never complains about overtime. 🦞
The stack: Python · Gemini 2.0 Flash · Telegram Bot API · Gmail SMTP · Linux
The scars: She started life running Qwen 2.5:14b locally via Ollama a 9GB model timing out like a matatu stuck in traffic. Scoring one job took 2 minutes. I ripped it out and migrated everything to the Gemini API. Problem solved. Then OpenClaw locked me out at 2am with config files that refused to accept a Telegram channel for 32 straight hours. I came out the other side a changed man.
First hunt: 14 jobs found. 6 strong matches. 6 cover letters drafted. The automation works.
The job market is a numbers game. I just automated my side of it.
