Project details:

I created a mini version of the platform with at least three core functionalities: user registration, a job posting application, and a simple company directory. The project should be designed using modern full-stack technologies.

Project Overview::

Backend: Implemented using Node.js with Express. The backend features RESTful APIs for user management, job postings, and company directory operations.

Database: MySQL was used for the database, with a schema designed to support the functionalities and ensure proper relationships.

Frontend: The frontend was built using Angular, providing a responsive user interface that interacts seamlessly with the backend via the APIs.

Authentication: User authentication is implemented using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) to ensure secure access to backend services.

Backend Setup

This is a Node.js project built using Express.js, Sequelize, and MySQL. It includes environment configuration through an .env file.
