Show HN: I built a bot to automatically apply to jobs

So I built this because I'm a recent bootcamp grad & I've found that it's really hard to get my foot in the door. I'd really love feedback on how I can improve this.

Here is an example of a page that gets link in my automated cover letter to an employer: http://job-diana.herokuapp.com/users/jobs/07c5807d0d927dcd09...

The biggest problem I've had with Indeed is a lot of applications disappear quickly. If I were you I would try to reply back quickly if someone contacts you as a result of this bot (once you get a few replies, you could make yourself a script for that part as well).

I would also try to make sure you don't needlessly send multiple applications to the same company.

Would be interesting to generate both a cover letter and a CV tailored for each position. Like removing unrelated experience from the CV, etc.
