Customizing your resume for each job application can be time-consuming. But with the power of AI and automation tools, you can simplify this process. By integrating Rezi.ai, TealHQ, and OpenAI API, you’ll be able to automatically adjust your resume to match any job description, enhancing your chances of landing that dream job.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Set Up Your OpenAI API Key

First things first, you’ll need access to OpenAI’s API:

1. Go to the OpenAI platform and log in or create an account.
2. Navigate to the “API Keys” section in your account settings.
3. Click on “Create new secret key” and copy the generated key. Store it securely, as you’ll need it later.

Step 2: Connect OpenAI to Zapier

Zapier will act as the bridge between your tools:

1. Log in to your Zapier account.
2. Click on “My Apps” in the left-hand menu.
3. Search for “OpenAI” and select it.
4. Click on “Connect” and paste the API key you obtained earlier.

Step 3: Set Up Rezi.ai and TealHQ

Ensure you have accounts with both Rezi.ai and TealHQ:

1. Sign up for Rezi.ai and create your base resume.
2. Register on TealHQ and input your job preferences.

Step 4: Create a Zap to Fetch Job Descriptions

Now, let’s automate fetching job descriptions:

1. In Zapier, click on “Create Zap”.
2. Set the trigger app to TealHQ and choose the event “New Job Posting”.
3. Connect your TealHQ account and test the trigger to ensure it’s working.

Step 5: Extract Job Description Details

We’ll use OpenAI to extract key details from the job description:

1. Add an action step in Zapier with the app “OpenAI”.
2. Select the event “Send Prompt”.
3. In the prompt field, input: “Extract key responsibilities and qualifications from the following job description: [Job Description]”.
4. Map the “[Job Description]” to the job description data from TealHQ.
5. Set the model to “text-davinci-003” and adjust parameters like temperature and max tokens as needed.

2. Select the event “Update Resume”.
3. Connect your Rezi.ai account.
4. Map the extracted responsibilities and qualifications from OpenAI to the corresponding sections in your Rezi.ai resume.
5. Test the action to ensure your resume updates correctly.

Step 7: Review and Apply

Finally, review your tailored resume and apply:

1. Log in to Rezi.ai and review the updated resume.
2. Make any necessary adjustments.
3. Use TealHQ to track your applications and manage follow-ups.
