# Job Board Portal

## Overview

The Job Board Portal is a web application designed to help job seekers and employers connect. It was developed as part of the APP 4080 course at United States International University - Africa (USIU-A) and tailored to the Kenyan job market. The portal provides features such as job listings, user dashboards, and profile management, offering a streamlined experience for employees and clients (employers).

## Features

- **Employee Login**: Access job listings, create profiles, and upload resumes.

- **Client Login**: Manage job postings and view employee profiles.

- **Landing Page**: Displays job opportunities available in the database.

- **Employee Dashboard**: Tools to apply for jobs and update user profiles.

- **Client Dashboard**: Manage job postings and employee interactions.

- **Search Functionality**: Look for jobs by category, location, or company.

- **Email Notifications**: Employees receive job alerts based on their profile.

## Technology Stack

- **Backend**: Java, Spring Boot

- **Frontend**: Thymeleaf, Bootstrap

- **Database**: MySQL Workbench

## Setup Instructions

To run this project locally:

   ```

2. Open the project in **IntelliJ IDEA**.

3. Run the main application class `JobBoardApplication`.
