    🤖 : "Creating an online job portal/application
    similar to Indeed or JobStreet is an ambitious
    project. Here's an outline of the key features
    and components you can consider implementing
    using Django:"

📌 User Authentication and Profiles:

• Implement user registration and login functionality for both job seekers and employers.
• Allow job seekers to create and manage their profiles with information such as education, professional qualifications, skills, work experience, etc.
• Enable employers to create and manage their company profiles with details like company name, location, industry, and description.

📌 Job Listings:

• Allow employers to post job listings with information such as job title, description, requirements, location, salary range, and application deadline.
• Implement a search and filter functionality for job seekers to find relevant job listings based on criteria like keywords, location, industry, etc.
• Display job listings with pagination and sorting options for ease of navigation.

📌 Application Process:

• Provide a mechanism for job seekers to apply for jobs directly through the portal by submitting their resumes and cover letters.
• Send email notifications to employers when a job seeker applies for their posted job.
• Enable employers to view and manage the applications they receive, including shortlisting and contacting applicants.

📌 Job Alerts and Notifications:

• Implement a feature for job seekers to set up job alerts based on their preferences, so they receive notifications when new jobs matching their criteria are posted.
• Send email notifications to job seekers about new job opportunities and updates related to their applications.

📌 User Interaction and Communication:

• Allow employers and job seekers to communicate within the platform, such as through a messaging system or direct contact details (email, phone) shared by the employer.
• Enable employers to save and manage their favorite job seeker profiles for future reference.

📌 Admin Panel:

• Create an admin panel for the site administrator to manage user accounts, job listings, and other relevant data.
• Implement moderation features to review and approve job listings before they are published on the platform.

📌 Responsive Design and User Experience:

• Ensure the application is responsive and optimized for various devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) to provide a seamless user experience.
• Remember to :
  • thoroughly plan and design the database schema, considering the relationships between entities such as users, job listings, and applications.
  • Additionally, prioritize security measures to protect user data and implement features like CSRF protection and user permissions.
