Project Title

Job Portal with Resume Builder

Objective

To create a job portal where users can search and apply for jobs, while also providing a built-in resume builder that allows users to create and customize their resumes directly on the platform. This system will help job seekers by streamlining the application process and making it easier for employers to find qualified candidates.

Key Features

User Registration and Login

Users can sign up and log into the portal.

Job seekers and employers have separate account types, each with its own dashboard and features.

Job Search and Application

Job seekers can search for jobs by categories, location, or keywords.

Job seekers can apply directly to listed job opportunities.

Employers can post job openings with details like job title, description, and requirements.

Resume Builder

Job seekers can create resumes directly within the portal.

The resume builder allows users to input personal information, work experience, education, skills, and certifications.

The system provides templates and options for customization to make the resume look professional.

Job Seeker Dashboard

Users can view job listings, save jobs, and track their applications.

Users can also view the status of their applications (e.g., applied, shortlisted, rejected).

Employer Dashboard

Employers can post new job listings, manage existing job postings, and review applications.

They can also search resumes submitted by job seekers.

Notifications

Job seekers receive notifications about job application status, new job postings, or important updates.

Employers get notified when a candidate applies for a position.

Admin Panel

The admin can monitor the overall activity on the portal.

Admins can approve or reject job postings and manage user accounts.

Job Recommendations

The system can suggest relevant job listings to job seekers based on their profile and preferences.

Resume Download

Job seekers can download their resume in PDF format for external use or submission.

Technology Stack

C Programming Language: The core logic for building the application, particularly handling user inputs, data processing, and file management.

File Handling: Used to store user data (resumes, job postings) in text or binary files.

Console-Based Interface: The interface for the job portal and resume builder would be designed as a command-line application (since this project uses C, which is more suited for console applications).

Data Storage: Since this is a console-based project, data might be saved locally in text files or binary files. More complex versions could integrate with databases.

Benefits

Simplified Job Search: Job seekers can find and apply for jobs easily, while employers can quickly find qualified candidates.

Customizable Resumes: The resume builder makes it easy for job seekers to create professional resumes without using external tools.

Efficient Management: Employers can manage job applications and postings in one place.

User-Friendly: The system provides a simple, organized interface for both job seekers and employers.

Potential Enhancements

Database Integration: Use a database to store job seeker and employer information for scalability.

Graphical User Interface (GUI): Add a GUI (perhaps using a tool like C with GTK or Qt) to make the platform more user-friendly.

Search Filters: Implement more advanced job search filters for better user experience.
