Watch out for

Telegram API has a strict rate limit on message frequency so add a small delay between sends to avoid bans.
File uploads from forms can be large and may timeout the Code node so stream or resize images before processing.
Markdown formatting in Telegram requires proper escaping of special characters so sanitize user input strings carefully.
The resume file might be missing in some submissions so add a fallback message for candidates who did not attach it.
