Automated Resume Tailoring with Telegram Bot, LinkedIn & OpenRouter AI

This n8n workflow automates the process of tailoring your resume for specific job applications by leveraging a Telegram bot for input, scraping job descriptions from LinkedIn, and using OpenRouter AI to generate a customized resume.

Description

This workflow streamlines the tedious task of manually updating your resume for each job application. By simply providing a LinkedIn job URL and your base resume via a Telegram bot, the workflow intelligently extracts key requirements from the job description, then uses an AI model to generate a tailored resume that highlights your relevant skills and experiences.

What it does

1. Listens for Telegram Messages: The workflow is triggered when a message is received by a configured Telegram bot.
2. Parses Telegram Input: It extracts the LinkedIn job URL and the user's base resume from the incoming Telegram message.
3. Fetches LinkedIn Job Description: It makes an HTTP request to the provided LinkedIn job URL to retrieve the job posting's HTML content.
4. Extracts Job Details: The HTML content is then processed to extract the relevant job description text.
5. Prepares AI Prompt: The extracted job description and the user's base resume are combined into a structured prompt for the AI model.
6. Generates Tailored Resume with OpenRouter AI: An OpenRouter AI chat model is used to generate a new resume version, specifically tailored to the job description, based on the provided input.
7. Sends Tailored Resume via Telegram: The generated, tailored resume is sent back to the user through the Telegram bot.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
• Telegram Bot: A Telegram bot token and a chat ID to interact with the bot.
• OpenRouter API Key: An API key for OpenRouter to access their AI models.
