 Abstract
The purpose of “Online Job Portal System” is to automate the existing manual
system by the help of computerized equipments and full-fledge computer
software, fulfilling their requirements, so that their valuable data/information can
be stored for a longer period with easy accessing and manipulation of the same.
The required software and hardware are easily available and easy to work with.

“Online Job Portal System” is secure, reliable and fast management system. It can
assist the user to concentrate on their activities rather to concentrate on the
record keeping. Thus it will help organization in better utilization of resources. The
organization can maintain computerized records without redundant entries. That
means that one need not be distracted by information that is not relevant, while
being able to reach the information.

The aim is to automate its existing system by the help of computerized

equipments and full-fledge computer software, fulfilling their requirements, so
that their valuable data/information can be stored for a longer period with easy
accessing and manipulation of the same. Basically the project describes how to
manage for good performance and better services for the clients.
 Objective
Computerized online Job Search System is developed to facilitate the General
administration system to manage the various information of the Job Seeker and
Employer and the processes involved in a placement company. So, that
organization can access accurate information quickly and easily as and when
required, thereby improving its operational efficiency & effectiveness.

In today’s competitive environment, where Everybody wants to be on the top,

Information plays very crucial role. As fast as information is accessed and
processed, it can give good results.

Today Internet is the fast way of transferring Data and Information over wide
area, hence I have used internet as a way for exchanging information.

Computerized system helps to fulfill these goals. Computerization of the official

works will help in doing lot of manual work quickly. It will help in easy storage and
access of all information, in short period of time.
 Introduction
Introduction:-
Online Job portal system is an application which connects employer and job
seekers where employers are the source of the resources and the job seeker can
find and apply for their targeted job.

In Online Job portal system we use PHP and MySQL database. This is the project
which keeps records of the employer, jobseeker and administrator. Online Job
portal system has three modules i.e. Jobseeker, Employer and Admin.

Admin Modules

This module provides administrator related functionalities. Administrator

manages entire application and maintains the profiles of applicants and
employers.

Dashboard: In this sections, admin can briefly view the total job category, total
employer, total candidates and total job.

Job Category: In this section, admin can manage jobcategory

(add/update/delete).

List of Employer: In this section, admin can view the list of employer and see the
detail of individual employer.

Reg Jobseeker: In this section, admin can view the list of candidates(jobseeker)
and see the detail of individual candidates(jobseeker).

Pages: In this section, admin can manage the about us and contact us pages.

Reports: In this section admin can generate report of how many employer and
candidates register between two dates.
Search: In this section, admin can search a particular employer and candidates by
company name and mobile number respectively.

Admin can also update his profile, change the password and recover the
password.

Employer Module

This module provides functionalities related to employers. Employers can post

vacancy details and update the details as and when necessary. Employers can
search through applicant resumes based on different criteria.

Jobs: In this section, employer can post the job and manage the jobs.

Candidates List: In this section employer can view the list of applied candidates
and send message to selected candidates.

Reports: In this section employer can view how many candidates apply for a job in
particular periods.

Employer can also update his profile, change the password and recover the
password.

Candidates(Jobseeker) Modules

Home: In this section, candidates can view job which is posted by employer and
apply those jobs.

Applied Jobs: In this section, candidates can a view response of applied job.

About Us: In this section, candidates can view the about us page of website.

Contact Us: In this section, candidates can view the contact us page of website.

Candidates(Jobseeker) can also update his profile, change the password and
recover the password.
Brief summary of home page

This is the home page of the website in which admin, registered employer and
candidates can login their account. Visitor user can sign up for employer and
candidates as per their needs.

Existing System : The present system requires applicants to search through print
and visual media for job opportunities. Applicants need to apply for jobs using
conventional methods and appear for interview on a specified date at a specified
location. Employers need to advertise the vacancies and sort all applicant details,
conduct selection procedures and complete the formalities. This approach is
tedious and requires much effort and resources.

Proposed System: The proposed system is a web based application which allows
applicants and employers to register their details. Applicants can browse through
the vacancy details that are posted and can apply for the jobs online. Employers
can browse through the posted resumes and select suitable candidates.

Scope:-
It may help collecting perfect management in details. In a very short time, the
collection will be obvious, simple and sensible. It will help a person to know the
management of passed years perfectly and vividly. It also helps in current all
works relative to job portal system. It will be also reduced the cost of collecting
the management & collection procedure will go on smoothly.

Our project aims is to automate the existing manual system by the help of
computerized equipments and full-fledge computer software, fulfilling their
requirements, so that their valuable data/information can be stored for a longer
period with easy accessing and manipulation of the same. The required software
and hardware are easily available and easy to work with.

 Analysis and Design

Analysis:

In present all visitor parking work done on the paper. The whole year visitor

parking record is stored in the registers. We can’t generate reports as per our

requirements because its take more time to calculate the visitors parking report.

Disadvantage of present system:

• Not user friendly: The present system not user friendly because data is not

stored in structure and proper format.

• Manual Control: All report calculation is done manually so there is a chance

of error.

• Lots of paper work: Visitors maintain in the register so lots of paper require

storing details.

• Time consuming

Design Introduction:
Design is the first step in the development phase for any techniques and
principles for the purpose of defining a device, a process or system in sufficient
detail to permit its physical realization.
Once the software requirements have been analyzed and specified the software
design involves three technical activities - design, coding, implementation and
testing that are required to build and verify the software.

The design activities are of main importance in this phase, because in this activity,
decisions ultimately affecting the success of the software implementation and its
ease of maintenance are made. These decisions have the final bearing upon
reliability and maintainability of the system. Design is the only way to accurately
translate the customer’s requirements into finished software or a system.

Design is the place where quality is fostered in development. Software design is a

process through which requirements are translated into a representation of
software. Software design is conducted in two steps. Preliminary design is
concerned with the transformation of requirements into data

UML Diagrams:
Actor:
A coherent set of roles that users of use cases play when interacting with
the use `cases.

Use case:A description of sequence of actions, including variants, that a system

performs that yields an observable result of value of an actor.
UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a language for specifying,
visualizing and documenting the system. This is the step while developing any
product after analysis. The goal from this is to produce a model of the entities
involved in the project which later need to be built. The representation of the
entities that are to be used in the product being developed need to be designed.

USECASE DIAGRAMS:

Use case diagrams model behavior within a system and helps the developers
understand of what the user require. The stick man represents what’s called an
actor.

Use case diagram can be useful for getting an overall view of the system and
clarifying who can do and more importantly what they can’t do.

Use case diagram consists of use cases and actors and shows the interaction
between the use case and actors.

• The purpose is to show the interactions between the use case and actor.
• To represent the system requirements from user’s perspective.
• An actor could be the end-user of the system or an external system.

USECASE DIAGRAM: A Use case is a description of set of sequence of actions.

Graphically it is rendered as an ellipse with solid line including only its name. Use
case diagram is a behavioral diagram that shows a set of use cases and actors and
their relationship. It is an association between the use cases and actors. An actor
represents a real-world object. Primary Actor – Sender, Secondary Actor
Receiver.

 Class Diagram:

A description of set of objects that share the same attributes operations,

relationships, and semantics

ER Diagram:
The Entity-Relationship (ER) model was originally proposed by Peter in 1976
[Chen76] as a way to unify the network and relational database views. Simply
stated the ER model is a conceptual data model that views the real world as
entities and relationships. A basic component of the model is the Entity-
Relationship diagram which is used to visually represent data objects. Since Chen
wrote his paper the model has been extended and today it is commonly used for
database design for the database designer, the utility of the ER model is:

• It maps well to the relational model. The constructs used in the ER model
can easily be transformed into relational tables.
• It is simple and easy to understand with a minimum of training. Therefore,
the model can be used by the database designer to communicate the
design to the end user.
• In addition, the model can be used as a design plan by the database
developer to implement a data model in specific database management
software.

ER Notation
There is no standard for representing data objects in ER diagrams. Each modeling
methodology uses its own notation. The original notation used by Chen is widely
used in academics texts and journals but rarely seen in either CASE tools or
publications by non-academics. Today, there are a number of notations used;
among the more common are Bachman, crow's foot, and IDEFIX.

All notational styles represent entities as rectangular boxes and relationships as

lines connecting boxes. Each style uses a special set of symbols to represent the
cardinality of a connection. The notation used in this document is from Martin.
The symbols used for the basic ER constructs are:

• Entities are represented by labeled rectangles. The label is the name of the

entity. Entity names should be singular nouns.

 • Relationships are represented by a solid line connecting two entities. The

name of the relationship is written above the line. Relationship names

should be verbs

• Attributes, when included, are listed inside the entity rectangle. Attributes

which are identifiers are underlined. Attribute names should be singular

nouns.

• Cardinality of many is represented by a line ending in a crow's foot. If the

crow's foot is omitted, the cardinality is one.

Existence is represented by placing a circle or a perpendicular bar on the line.

Mandatory existence is shown by the bar (looks like a 1) next to the entity for an
instance is required. Optional existence is shown by placing a circle next to the
entity that is optional.

 Implementation and System Testing
After all phase have been perfectly done, the system will be implemented to the
server and the system can be used.

System Testing

The goal of the system testing process was to determine all faults in our project .The
program was subjected to a set of test inputs and many explanations were made and
based on these explanations it will be decided whether the program behaves as expected
or not. Our Project went through two levels of testing

1. Unit testing

2. Integration testing

UNIT TESTING
Unit testing is commenced when a unit has been created and effectively
reviewed .In order to test a single module we need to provide a complete
environment i.e. besides the section we would require

• The procedures belonging to other units that the unit under test calls
 • Non local data structures that module accesses

• A procedure to call the functions of the unit under test with

appropriate parameters

1. Test for the admin module

• Testing admin login form-This form is used for log in of administrator of the
system. In this form we enter the username and password if both are
correct administration page will open otherwise if any of data is wrong it
will get redirected back to the login page and again ask the details.

• Report Generation: admin can generate report from the main database.

INTEGRATION TESTING

In the Integration testing we test various combination of the project module by

providing the input.

The primary objective is to test the module interfaces in order to confirm that no
errors are occurring when one module invokes the other module.
