Jobex

Inspiration

When filling out a job application, most fields are constant for a single person. This leads to repeatedly performing mindless tasks when trying to find a job or internship.

What it does

Helps find the necessary fields and fills them with a user's specified data. While you might be thinking that autocomplete can perform this task perfectly well, this is not the case. Autocomplete requires a user to select information from a drop-down. Jobex only requires a single click. Additionally, Jobex can do other tasks, such as uploading a resume or cover letter.

How I built it

It's a Chrome Extension written in JavaScript.

Challenges I ran into

I don't know HTML very well.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I will actually use it!

What I learned

HTML tags are inconsistent and arbitrary.

What's next for Jobex

Implementing Regex so that fields can be found instead of hardcoded. Additionally, I want to have a cleaner format for a user to input their data to later be used when filling out job applications.
