Don’t let the burden of writing a custom answer blocks your job application.
ChatGPT is not the best tool to help with the job application
Everyone uses AI to assist with CV and cover letter writing today. And we all know, the process is tedious.
Copy the JD.
Paste it into ChatGPT.
Upload your CV.
Ask for the cover letter to be drafted.
Edit.
And edit again.
Paste the final version into the application form.
Figure out that there are more custom questions to answer.
Ughhhh…
The competitive job market requires you to apply to over 100 jobs to get an offer. Yet the traditional job applying process is slowing you down.
Introducing CVAssist. An AI-powered Chrome extension to automate job applications.
How does CVAssist work?
It’s simple to use this extension:
- Install it on your Chrome-based browser and open it
- Create a Claude API key, and save it
- Paste the full content of your CV, and save it
- (Optional) Create a free Jina AI Reader api key, and save it
- Open the job description page of the job you are applying for
- Click “Parse JD.” The extension will automatically retrieve the job context on the page, including the company name, job title, job description, salary range, location, …, and save it to the temporary local storage.
- You will see the status indicator to show the parsing stage.
- Using Jina AI helps parse a more complex page to ensure the parsing won’t fail. The api will only be called if our default methods fail
- Move to the Application page, and click “Fill form.”
- You will see the extension is connecting to Claude, and Claude will return the personalised answer to each field in the application form based on the job context and your CV content
- If you find anything that needs revisions, just manually edit it

The LLM model I used is Claude 3.5 Sonnet, because it is still the most reliable model with a good taste in the writing tone (sounds more human, in a concise manner).
Not all jobs attract us, but we need to complete the application to keep the momentum. Hope CVAssist can become your companion and relieve you.
