Build a Job Portal Web Application

Job portals are high-utility web platforms that involve managing complex workflows like user registration, multi-role access, form submissions, resume uploads, and application status tracking. Building one strengthens both frontend and backend development skills.

The app should allow candidates to register, upload resumes, search jobs, and apply. Employers should be able to post job listings, manage applicants, and update application statuses.

Candidates sign up, browse jobs, and apply directly by uploading their resume. Employers manage their own postings, view applicants, and update the hiring pipeline through a clean dashboard.

• Candidates create profiles, upload resumes, and apply for jobs.
• Employers post jobs and receive application notifications.
• Application statuses like 'Under Review', 'Shortlisted', or 'Rejected' can be tracked by candidates.
• Optional: Email notifications for new job matches or application updates.
• Optional: Add employer verification or featured job listings.
