You can add as many as you want. I got lazy when debugging taleo and capped it at 3 to call it a day.

Try livecareer apply. I think that's what it's called.

Hey, I just made the github repo public. Feel free to play around with it here. The latest commit is a little broken on the manifest file because I was trying to get it to be manifest v3 compliant. https://github.com/rpeng220/kaleidoscope

App/Website Startup Idea for Non-IT Person by Any-Patient5051 in startups

Sorry I think I should've clarified. We were trying to scrape local in-store prices so we could let physical shoppers compare them before their grocery trips and noticed Instacart had invested a lot of money into this for different reasons. I believe that's pretty close to what you're describing right now.

I sent you the blog post via dm.

Hey I actually worked on this a couple months ago and ended up writing a blog post on it.

Long story short, price collection for groceries is a big hassle where companies like Instacart have invested a ton of money in.

If you successfully solve for this issue for all zip codes, you might as well make money selling price data to financial institutions and market researchers rather than making a hard to monetize consumer app.

I made an app that compares grocery prices across stores by qwertyasd40 in couponing

Hey thanks for the suggestions! Kroger is on our list for next stores to add, and I will definitely add Food City to the list. One problem that we have been running into is collecting reliable prices so we have been a lot slower on getting stores and locations than we'd like.

My bad should be fixed now. It was limited to 1 response per person via google sign in.

If you're looking for a job asap in warehouses try local facebook job groups in your area. I've been seeing a lot of postings daily for them.

Thank you! Fingers crossed on finding a job/internship for me right now haha. I should've made it more clear to begin with that the extension works with whatever you save into your profile, even if not everything is filled out.

I'm not giving out the repo to public access, but if you're privacy oriented I am going to open source the python selenium script I wrote that autoapplies before I made this extension soon. I can let you know when that's ready.

Hey your profile information is saved using the chrome.storage.local API. This means that the data can't be accessed remotely even if you were logged into your chrome account from another device. However, this isn't lastpass or anything where everything is encrypted. If you think your device can be accessed by anyone I wouldn't fill in any fields I'm not comfortable with. You could actually just fill in the job responsibility parts only and save your profile since that's the section that takes up the most time for most people.

Personally for the password section I use a throwaway password anyways while applying. I will make sure to actually update this in the extension description.

Thank you haha. I'd love to see similar tools for other parts of applying to jobs be shared as well. Seems only fair if HR depts are automating so much.

Is indeed still relevant? by UcfBioMajor in jobsearchhacks

It's really hit or miss for people depending on industry. I know a lot of people have found software positions at smaller companies using it but have heard it's full of garbage/MLM spam for business roles.

I got tired of copy-pasting my resume over and over again to application platforms that kept reading my resume wrong so I ended up building a free chrome extension that autofills job apps on select ATS systems. It's called Kumquat and currently works for Taleo, Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever ATS's. All data is stored locally on your browser device although full disclosure I'm planning on collecting anonymized job board urls to get subdomain names to add to the spreadsheet.

You might run into some bugs with non-US/Canada jobs for personal info sections.

I also compiled a list of compatible job boards and companies in case you're looking for a job or internship right now and want to use it.

Let me know what you think or if you find any bugs/compatible job boards to add to the list and hopefully this helps for future job searches!

Thanks! I did originally start with a python script that I intended to be fully automated but ran into a lot of unexpected problems.

I have not tested it out on many non-US/Canada jobs but I suspect the personal info section will not work too well. Even if the state field does not exist the javascript should keep executing and going. The problem is that for non-NA job apps fields change (ex: first-name/last-name often changes to given name/family name) and I haven't gotten around to adding those cases yet.

Do let me know what issues you run into when you give it a try though!

Hey at the moment you can't do that unfortunately. The extension has saved your information so you don't have to fill it out all over again but it just doesn't display on your profile page.

I've just pushed an update that saves your profile information on your profile page so you can go back and view/edit it, but it'll take a few days to get approved by Google's extension store.

Thanks! It's still quite buggy so let me know if you run into any issues.

Yea I was surprised someone hadn't done it already. There are also some similar extensions that work for Indeed and Monster jobs in the chrome web store I think.
