About The Project

JobTrackr is a comprehensive full-stack web application designed to streamline and organize the job application process. With TrackMyJob, users can easily track their job applications and monitor the progress of their job search.

Features

1. User-friendly interface: TrackMyJob provides a clean and intuitive user interface that allows users to easily manage their job applications.
2. Dashboard: Users can add job postings to their dashboard and track the status of each application at a glance.
3. Application details: Users can store important information about each job application, such as job title, company name, application status, salary, and more.
4. Search and filter: Users can search and filter their job applications based on various criteria, making it easy to find and manage specific applications.
5. Authentication and authorization: TrackMyJob uses JWT-based authentication and authorization to ensure secure access to user accounts and data.

Work in Progress

JobTrackr is currently under active development, and there are some features that are still being added or improved, and some bugs that are being addressed.

• Search Filter: I am working on implementing a search functionality that allows users to search and filter their job applications based on various criteria, such as job title, company name, or application status.
• Stats Page: I am developing a stats page that will provide users with insightful visualizations and statistics related to their job applications, such as the number of applications submitted, the status distribution, or the average salary.
• Document : Document page to upload and attach files related to job applications.

I appreciate your patience as I am working on these features. Contributions and suggestions are always welcome!

If you have any ideas for additional features or would like to contribute to the development of these features, please refer to the "Contributing" section for instructions on how to get started.
