Hi, How did you get the job applier to start? When I run this using
python main.py --resume.pdf, it gives me following 3 options and stops after generating resume. Am I running an incorrect file?

"Generate Resume",
"Generate Resume Tailored for Job Description",
"Generate Tailored Cover Letter for Job Description",

I have a two installations on two different computers one of my computer has the same behavior but when I installed it on my other computer I have the new behavior where it opens the LinkedIn and start searching for the file I think the difference is the secrets file where I now put my LinkedIn Authentication I think the other thing that I did was I actually downloaded a second pair of files from the GitHub directly and the second pair of files had a file called LinkedIn Authenticator and other LinkedIn files try that and let me know if you need any other help from me

The bot is shutting down, no longer working since LinkedIn updated and also they are banned!

[jbatra215]

Not sure about that cause I know someone who is using this, I cannot approach them but I know they are using it.
