Journey

Journey guides you to your dream job by showing you the paths that others have taken to get there.

1. Choose your dream job (i.e. Data Scientist, Product Manager, etc).
2. Explore the professional and educational backgrounds of people who currently have that job.
3. Check out the profiles of individual people to see their timelines and how they got the job you want.
4. Click "Get me there" and enter your current position to find people that went from your current job to your dream job.



The data

The data was obtained from LinkedIn using the Scrapy (https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy) Python module.

The deployed application is seeded with data. To add more profiles to the database, we provide an API endpoint at:

api/uploadfile

that accepts POST requests with JSON data. We also provide a lightweight HTML page at:

client/dataupload.html

that can be used instead. JSON uploaded through this page is automatically parsed and added to the MySQL database.

MySQL Database

We use a MySQL datbase with Bookshelf.js as an ORM. The config file can be found at: server/db_Schemas/config.js, and defines the connection settings and tables used in the application.

Server-side testing

To run server-side testing, enter

jasmine

from the root directory.

The Jasmine tests can be found in the directory:

/spec

Build process

To create the build for production deployment, enter

gulp deploy

from the root directory. This will:

• lint all production files,
• run all tests
• minify/concatenate,
• and push all files to the dist directory for deployment.
