⚙️ Configuration (config.py)

Setting	Default	Description
JOB_KEYWORDS	8 keywords	Cybersecurity job title filters
LOCATION_FILTERS	India/Mumbai/Remote	Location targets
MAX_APPLICATIONS_PER_RUN	20	Safety cap per session
DELAY_BETWEEN_APPS_SEC	(5, 15)	Random delay range
HEADLESS_BROWSER	True	Set False to watch browser

---

⚠️ Important Warnings

1. Terms of Service: LinkedIn and Naukri prohibit automated access. Use only for personal job searching and keep MAX_APPLICATIONS low.

2. Rate Limiting: The bot includes random delays. Don't remove them.

3. Account Safety: LinkedIn may temporarily restrict accounts if too many actions are detected. Start with MAX_APPLICATIONS_PER_RUN = 5 and increase gradually.

4. CAPTCHA: Both platforms may show CAPTCHAs. Set HEADLESS_BROWSER = False to solve them manually when needed.

5. Credentials: Never share your .env file or commit it to GitHub.

---

🐛 Troubleshooting

"No module named playwright"

pip install playwright && playwright install chromium

LinkedIn login fails / CAPTCHA

# In config.py, set:
HEADLESS_BROWSER = False
# Then run and solve CAPTCHA manually

Gmail SMTP authentication error

• Make sure you're using an App Password, not your Gmail password
• Ensure 2-Step Verification is enabled on your Google account

No jobs found

• Check your internet connection
• The site's HTML structure may have changed — check logs for details

---

📈 Tips for Freshers

• Fill your LinkedIn profile completely before running the bot
• Upload your resume to Naukri profile manually once before using the bot
• Add a professional photo to all platforms
• Keep resume.pdf updated with certifications (CEH, CompTIA Security+, etc.)
• Add CTF wins (TryHackMe, HackTheBox) to your profiles
