Session Goal

The session aimed to explore and develop Python scripts for automating job search tasks, focusing on web scraping and data processing techniques.

Key Activities

  • Discussed the limitations of executing web searches directly from a Python script due to environmental constraints, suggesting a manual approach for job searches.
  • Outlined a Python script for automated web searches using the googlesearch library, including setup instructions and ethical considerations.
  • Provided a Python function using the urllib.parse library to extract domain names from URLs, aiding in processing job search results.
  • Developed a script to create a DataFrame from roles and domain names, mapping each role to its domains.
  • Described a function to generate Indeed job search URLs for specified roles and locations, with examples for Buenos Aires and FlorianΓ³polis.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed scripts and functions for automating job search tasks, including web search automation, domain extraction, and data processing.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the scripts in real-world scenarios to ensure reliability and compliance with ethical guidelines.
