Resume Tailor

Generate a per-company tailored resume using Gemini 2.5 Flash via resume_tailor.py.

How to run

For a single job, run resume_tailor.py with the job posting URL and company name as arguments.

For batch mode (all companies with status done and non-LinkedIn links in the tracker), run it with no arguments.

Output

Saved to the resume_adjusted/ folder configured in config.py, named resume_{CompanyName}.docx. The script skips a company if the file already exists — delete the file to regenerate it.

What it does

Fetches the job description from the URL, reads the base resume, and asks Gemini to suggest minimal tweaks — reordering skills, surfacing existing keywords. It never fabricates experience. Gemini's markdown formatting (**bold**) is stripped automatically before writing to the DOCX.

Site compatibility

Most standard job pages work. Workday works via JSON-LD extraction. Ashby and internal portals (like BPCE) may fail — in that case, skip the URL and tailor manually, or paste the job description text into a temp file and adjust the call.

LinkedIn URLs are skipped automatically in batch mode.

If you hit rate limits

The free Gemini tier occasionally returns 429 errors — the script retries automatically. If it keeps failing, wait a minute and re-run. Use gemini-2.5-flash, not gemini-2.0-flash (that quota runs out faster).
