 1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT
Job search is not a new area as several significant works have been done in
several key areas to modernize, improve security and increase the success and
usage of these systems.
Some of the works that have inspired the conception of this research include
Improving Job Search by network of professionals and companies research in
which job clusters were created to provide relationship between categories of
professionals and company needs and is based on a network of job offers,
discovering interesting relationships between them and clustering these to
represent companies or professional.
The output is a visualization of the network of professions and companies.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
Over the years there has been much controversy about the definition of an
artificial intelligent agent. There exists a weaker notion of agents and a stronger
more controversial notion. Define an agent as “anything that can be viewed as
perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment
through effectors”.
Agrees with this definition but adds additional clarity by stating that “intelligent
agents continuously perform three functions: perception of dynamic conditions in
the environment; action to affect conditions in the environment and reasoning to
interpret perceptions, solve problems, draw inferences and determine actions”.
Agents should autonomously carry out activities by being independent or self-
directed and should not depend on external input only from human operator or
other agents to act manifesting social abilities when interacting with other agents
(and possibly humans) via some kind of agent-communication language.

 2.SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1 Existing System
The existing system is a manual system where the professionals trace the
information about the job offers through newspapers or advertisements given by
the corresponding people or else the system consists of employment for various
fields.
Disadvantages
Drawbacks of the existing system are as follows
 Job search is not a new area as several significant works have been done in
several key areas to modernize, improve security and increase the success
and usage of these systems.
 Some of the works that have inspired the conception of this research.

9
2.2 Proposed System
Today artificial intelligent agents are integrated into many computer-based
systems including expert systems, job search engines, web searches and info-bots
and so on. These autonomous agents can perform time consuming, mundane and
sometimes even life endangering tasks reliably, instead of the human agent.
Advantages
 Describes a stronger notion of agency in which agents process
characteristics such as knowledge, belief, intention and obligation.
 Other attributes apply to stronger agent notion.
 These include mobility where agents move around an electronic network,
veracity where agents will not knowingly communicate false information
and benevolence where the assumption is that an agent will try to do what it
is asked and will not have conflicting goals.

3.3 SYSTEM FEATURES

OPERATING SYSTEM: WINDOWS 7

Windows 7 is an operating system that was produced by Microsoft and
released as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems. It was released to
manufacturing on July 22, 2009, and became generally available on October 22,
2009. It is the successor to Windows Vista, released nearly three years earlier.
Windows 7 was intended to be an incremental upgrade to Microsoft
Windows, addressing Windows Vista's poor critical reception while maintaining
hardware and software compatibility.
Windows 7 continued improvements on Windows Aero (The user interface
introduced in Windows Vista) with the addition of a redesigned taskbar that allows
applications to be "pinned" to it, and new window management features.
Other new features were added to the operating system, including libraries,
the new file-sharing system Homegroup, and support for multitouch input. A new
"Action Center" interface was also added to provide an overview of system
security and maintenance information, and tweaks were made to the User Account
Control system to make it less intrusive. Windows 7 also shipped with updated
versions of several stock applications, including Internet Explorer 8, Windows
Media Player, and Windows Media Center.
Among Windows 7's new features are advances in touch and handwriting
recognition, support for virtual hard disks, improved performance on multi-core
processors, improved boot performance, DirectAccess, and kernel improvements.

12
 Windows 7 adds support for systems using multiple heterogeneous graphics
cards from different vendors (Heterogeneous Multi-adapter), a new version of
Windows Media Center, a Gadget for Windows Media Center, improved media
features, XPS Essentials Pack and Windows PowerShell being included, and a
redesigned Calculator with multiline capabilities including Programmer and
Statistics modes along with unit conversion for length, weight, temperature, and
several others.
Many new items have been added to the Control Panel, including ClearType
Text Tuner Display Color Calibration Wizard, Gadgets, Recovery,
Troubleshooting, Workspaces Center, Location and Other Sensors, Credential
Manager, Biometric Devices, System Icons, and Display. Windows Security
Center has been renamed to Windows Action Center (Windows Health Center and
Windows Solution Center in earlier builds), which encompasses both security and
maintenance of the computer. ReadyBoost on 32-bit editions now supports up to
256 gigabytes of extra allocation.
Windows 7 also supports images in RAW image format through the addition
of Windows Imaging Component-enabled image decoders, which enables raw
image thumbnails, previewing and metadata display in Windows Explorer, plus
full-size viewing and slideshows in Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Media
Center. Windows 7 also has a native TFTP client with the ability to transfer files to
or from a TFTP server.

FRONT END: PYTHON

Python is an interpreted, high-level and general-purpose programming
language. Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable
use of significant whitespace. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach
aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale
projects.
Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple
programming paradigms, including structured (Particularly, procedural), object-
oriented, and functional programming. Python is often described as a "batteries
included" language due to its comprehensive standard library.

13
Expressions
Some Python expressions are similar to languages such as C and Java, while some
are not:
 Addition, subtraction, and multiplication are the same, but the behavior of
division differs. There are two types of divisions in Python. They are floor
division (or integer division) // and floating point/division. Python also
added the ** operator for exponentiation.
 From Python the new @infix operator was introduced. It is intended to be
used by libraries such as NumPy for matrix multiplication.
 From Python the syntax: =, called the 'walrus operator' was introduced. It
assigns values to variables as part of a larger expression.
 In Python, == compares by value, versus Java, which compares numerics by
value and objects by reference. (Value comparisons in Java on objects can
be performed with the equals () method.) Python's is operator may be used to
compare object identities (comparison by reference).
 Python uses the words and, or, not for its Boolean operators rather than the
symbolic &&, ||! used in Java and C.
 Python has a type of expression termed a list comprehension. Python
extended list comprehensions into a more general expression termed a
generator expression.

Indentation:
Python uses whitespace indentation, rather than curly brackets or keywords,
to delimit blocks. An increase in indentation comes after certain statements; a
decrease in indentation signifies the end of the current block. Thus, the program's
visual structure accurately represents the program's semantic structure. This feature
is sometimes termed the off-side rule, which some other languages share, but in
most languages, indentation doesn't have any semantic meaning.

Django (Web Framework)

Django is a Python-based free and open-source web framework, which
follows the model-template-view (MTV) architectural pattern. It is maintained by

14
the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an independent organization established
as a non-profit.
Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven
websites. The framework emphasizes reusability and "pluggability" of
components, less code, low coupling, rapid development, and the principle of don't
repeat yourself. Python is used throughout, even for settings files and data models.
Django also provides an optional administrative create, read, update and delete
interface that is generated dynamically through introspection and configured via
admin models. In June 2008, it was announced that a newly formed Django
Software Foundation (DSF) would maintain Django in the future.

BACKEND: SQLite
SQLite
SQLite is a relational database management system (RDBMS) contained in
a C library. In contrast to many other database management systems, SQLite is not
a client–server database engine. Rather, it is embedded into the end program.
SQLite is ACID-compliant and implements most of the SQL standard,
generally following PostgreSQL syntax. However, SQLite uses a dynamically and
weakly typed SQL syntax that does not guarantee the domain integrity. This means
that one can, for example, insert a string into a column defined as an integer.
SQLite will attempt to convert data between formats where appropriate, the string
"123" into an integer in this case, but does not guarantee such conversions and will
store the data as-is if such a conversion is not possible.
SQLite is a popular choice as embedded database software for local/client
storage in application software such as web browsers. It is arguably the most
widely deployed database engine, as it is used today by several widespread
browsers, operating systems, and embedded systems (Such as mobile phones),
among others. SQLite has bindings to many programming languages.

15
Features of SQLite
 Transactions are atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID) even after
system crashes and power failures.
 Zero-configuration - no setup or administration needed.
 Full-featured SQL implementation with advanced capabilities like partial
indexes, indexes on expressions, JSON, common table expressions, and
window functions. (Omitted features)
 A complete database is stored in a single cross-platform disk file. Great for
use as an application file format.
 Supports terabyte-sized databases and gigabyte-sized strings and blobs. (See
limits.html.)
 Small code footprint: less than 600KiB fully configured or much less with
optional features omitted.
 Simple, easy to use API.
 Fast: In some cases, SQLite is faster than direct filesystem I/O
 Written in ANSI-C. TCL bindings included. Bindings for dozens of other
languages available separately.
 Well-commented source code with 100% branch test coverage.
 Available as a single ANSI-C source-code file that is easy to compile and
hence is easy to add into a larger project.
 Self-contained: no external dependencies.
 Cross-platform: Android, *BSD, iOS, Linux, Mac, Solaris, VxWorks, and
Windows (Win32, WinCE, WinRT) are supported out of the box. Easy to
port to other systems.
 Sources are in the public domain. Use for any purpose.

16
 4.MODULE DESIGN

A module is defined as the unique and addressable components of the

software which can be solved and modified independently without disturbing (or
affecting in very small amount) other modules of the software. Thus, every
software design should follow modularity.
The process of breaking down a software into multiple independent modules
where each module is developed separately is called Modularization.

Proposed project has various modules. They are as follows:

 Authentication
 Admin login
 Job Seeker login
 Notification

Authentication
This module contains all the information about the authenticated user. User
without his username and password can’t enter into the login if he is only the
authenticated user then he can enter to his login.
Admin login
In this module Admin will add all the qualifications, skill, experience, city,
state, country, CGPA and update and delete information about the job provider or
job seeker he can also search for the job seeker and he can send mail to offer the
job-to-job seeker and he can also see the jobs add by the job provider.

17
Job Seeker login
In this module Job Seeker register himself and upload his resume and fill the
profile given by admin and after login he will search for the job on various
conditions and he can change his profiles and resume and he can apply for the jobs
based on various conditions.

Notification
In this module the Job Seeker will get the information like interview date,
address etc to their registered mail id with this system once they applied to the
particular job.

 5.SYSTEM DESIGN
5.1 Data Flow Diagram

A DFD is a graphical representation that depicts information flow and the

transforms that are applied as data move from input to output. The DFD may be
used to represent a system or software at any level of abstraction DFD’s may be
partitioned into levels that represent increasing information flow and functional
details. The DFD provides a mechanism for functional modelling as well as
information flow modelling.
A level “O” DFD, also called a fundamental system model or a context
Model, represents the entire software element as single bubble with input and
output data indicated by incoming and outgoing arrows respectively.
A level “1” DFD contain five or six bubbles with interconnecting arrows.
Each of the processes represented at level 1 is a sub function of the overall system.
Similarly, DFD level 1 can be refined into next level 2. The information flow
continuity has been maintained between each level.

5.2 Database Table Design
The database design is a must for any application developed especially more
for the data store projects. Since the chatting method involves storing the message
in the table and produced to the sender and receiver, proper handling of the table is
a must.
Each table should include a column or set of columns that uniquely
identifies each row stored in the table. In database terminology, this information is
called the primary key of the table. Access uses primary key fields to quickly
associate data from multiple tables and bring the data together.
A foreign key is a key used to link two tables together. This is sometimes
also called as a referencing key. A Foreign Key is a column or a combination of
columns whose values match a Primary Key in a different table.

5.3 File Design

The file design is one of the important features which mainly depend on the
performance of the system. The file design deals with the two important elements.
They are the size of the files and the redundancy of the data. At the same time all
the files are design to incorporate all relevant information regarding each module.
A single database with information about all the modules will make the system
complex.
The design base files are the most important of the system. The performance
of the system depends on how the system is designed. It has been given at most
attention to reduce the size of files and redundancy. At the same time all the files
are design to incorporate all relevant information regarding each entity. A single
database with information about all the entities will make the system more
complicated.

It is used to set an index page.
Dashboard
It is used to set a template in the web page

address, username, password, resume, CGPA, experience and job category.
Job Seeker File
It includes Username, email id, phone number, password, degree, specialization,
select CGPA, select experience, select job type, country, state, city and address.

5.4 Code Design

The code design should be such that with less amount of coding we can
achieve more results. The speed of the system will be more if the coding is less.
Whether the data in the system is usable and readable by the system is depending
on the coding.
In the project, the coding is being done such that proper validations are made
to get the perfect input. No error inputs are accepted. In addition, care is taken such
that the data integrity and referential integrity is not violated in the database. In
addition, coding is designed such that concurrency avoidance of accessing the
database, limited user access to the table is made perfect.

5.5 Input and output design

27
Input Design
Input design is the process of converting user-originated inputs to a
computer-based format. Input design is one of the most expensive phases of the
operation of computerized system and is often the major problem of a system.
Input design is a part of overall design, which requires careful attribute. Inaccurate
input data are the most common cause of errors in data processing.
The goal of designing input data is to make data entry as easy, logical and
free from errors. In the system design phase input data are collected and organized
in two groups of similar data.

Output Design
Output design generally refers to the results and information that are
generated by the system for many end-users; output is the main reason for
developing the system and the basis on which they evaluate the usefulness of the
application. Computer output is the most important and direct source of
information to the user. Output design is very important phase because the output
will be in an interactive manner.

28
 6. SYSTEM TESTING

6.1 System testing and methodologies

The common view of testing held by users is that it is performed to prove
that there are no errors in a program. This is extremely difficult since designers
cannot prove to be one hundred percent accurate. Therefore, the most useful and
practical approach is with the understanding that testing is the process of executing
a program with explicit intention of finding errors.
Testing has its own cycle. The testing process begins with the product
requirements phase and from there parallels the entire development process. In
other words, for each phase of the development process there is an important
testing activity. Successful testing requires a methodical approach. It requires
focusing on basic critical factors:

 Planning
 Project and process control
 Risk management
 Inspections
 Measurement tools

Test Plan
Before going for testing, first we have to decide upon the type of testing to be
carried out. The following factors are taken into consideration:
 To ensure that information properly flows into and out of program
 To find out whether the local data structures maintain its integrity during all
steps in an algorithm execution
 To ensure that the module operate properly at boundaries established to limit
or restrict processing
 To find out whether error - handling paths are working correctly or not
 To find out whether the values are correctly updated or not
 Check for validations

29
6.2 TYPES OF TESTING
Unit Testing
This is the first level of testing. The different modules are tested against the
specifications produced during the integration. This is done to test the internal
logic of each module. Those resulting from the interaction between modules are
initially avoided. The input received and output generated is also tested to see
whether it falls in the expected range of values. Unit testing is performed from the
bottom up, starting with the smallest and lowest modules and proceeding one at a
time.
The units in a system are the modules and routines that are assembled and
integrated to perform a specific function. The programs are tested for correctness
of logic applied and detection of errors in coding. Each of the modules was tested
and errors are rectified. They were then found to function properly.

Integration Testing
In integration testing, the tested modules are combined into sub-systems,
which are then tested. The goal of integration testing to check whether the modules
can be integrated properly emphasizing on the interfaces between modules. The
different modules were linked together and integration testing done on them.

Validation Testing
The objective of the validation test is to tell the user about the validity and
reliability of the system. It verifies whether the system operates as specified
and the integrity of important data is maintained. User motivation is very important
for the successful performance of the system.
All the modules were tested individually using both test data and live data.
After each module was ascertained that it was working correctly and it had been
"integrated" with the system. Again, the system was tested as a whole. We hold the
system tested with different types of users. The System Design, Data Flow
Diagrams, procedures etc. were well documented so that the system can be easily
maintained and upgraded by any computer professional at a later.

30
System Testing
The integration of each module in the system is checked during this level of
testing. The objective of system testing is to check if the software meets its
requirements. System testing is done to uncover errors that were not found in
earlier tests. This includes forced system failures and validation of total system as
the user in the operational environment implements it.
Under this testing, low volumes of transactions are generally based on live
data. This volume is increased until the maximum level for each transactions type
is reached. The total system is also tested for recovery after various major failures
to ensure that no data are lost during the breakdown.

User Acceptance Testing

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is one of the last stages of the software
development life cycle. It is sometimes known as End User Testing.
Description: As the name suggests, UAT is conducted on a product by the
end users of the product for approval for production release.
The main Purpose of UAT is to validate end to end business flow. It does not focus
on cosmetic errors, spelling mistakes or system testing. User Acceptance Testing is
carried out in a separate testing environment with production-like data setup. It is
kind of black box testing where two or more end-users will be involved.

31
 7. SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
7.1 Implementation Procedure
System implementation is the important stage of project when the theoretical
design is tunes into practical system. The main stages in the implementation are as
follows:
 Planning
 Training
 System testing and
 Changeover planning
Planning is the first task in the system implementation. Planning is deciding
on the method and the time scale to be adapted. At the time of implementation of
any system people from different departments and system analysis involve. They
are confirmed to practical problem of controlling various activities of people
outside their own data processing departments. The line manager controlled
through an implementation co-ordinate committee. The committee consists of
ideas, Problems and complaints of user department. It must also consider,
 The implementation of system environment.
 Self-selection and allocation for implementation tasks.
 Consultation with unions and resources available.
 Standby facilities and channels of communication.

32
 8. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

The term “System Maintenance” is used to describe software engineering

activities. Maintenance activities involve making enhancements to software
products, adapting to new environments and correcting problems. Software product
enhancements may involve providing new functional capabilities, improving user
displays and nodes of interaction, upgrading external documents and internal
documentation or upgrading the performance characteristics of a system.
Adaptation of software to a new environment may involve moving the software to
a different machine, or for instance, modifying the software to accommodate a new
telecommunication protocol or an additional disk drive. Problem correction
involves modification and revalidation of software to correct errors.

Many activities performed during software development enhance the

maintainability of a software product. They are: -
8.1 Analysis Activities
The analysis phase of software development is concerned with determining
customer requirements and constraints and establishing feasibility of the product.

 Develop standards and guidelines

 Set milestones for supporting documents
 Specify quality assurance procedures
 Identify likely product enhancements
 Determine resources required for maintenance
 Estimate maintenance costs

33
8.2 Architectural Design Activities
 Emphasize clarity and modularity as design criteria
 Design to ease likely enhancement
 Use standardized notations to document, data flows, functions, structure and
interconnections
 Observe the principles of information hiding, data abstraction and top-down
hierarchical decomposition

8.3 Detailed Design Activities

 Use standardized notations to specify algorithms, data structures and
procedure interface specifications.
 Specify side effects and exception handling for each routine.

8.4 Implementation Activities

 Use single entry, single exit constructs
 Use standard indentation of constructs
 Use simple, clear coding style
 Use symbolic constants to parameterize routines
 Provide margins on resources
 Provide standard documentation
 Follow standard internal commenting guidelines.

8.5 Other activities

 Develop a maintenance guide
 Develop a test suite
 Provide test suite documentation.

34
 9. CONCLUSION

Job Search is a very involved process that could require hours of interaction
with different search sites, applications, human agents, etc. The developed system
intelligently anticipates the needs of the user and makes intelligent decisions based
on fuzzy preference rules and dynamically make location, salary markup and
markdown, and allowances choices that are perceived beneficial to the user. This is
evident in the results presented in the form of scenarios and supporting
screenshots.

The system could be extended to include a secure application process where

the applicant’s experience and education is verified possibly by including
biometric data along with the job application details which has been published
elsewhere.

35
 10. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
The actual user of the system is very much pleased by its efficient
performance and the user of the package have extremely reduces duplication of
words. Since the requirements may increase in future, the system can be easily
modified accordingly, as the system has been modularized.
In addition, the job search process could enhance the calculation of utility by
including risk factors of success in choosing one job over another. This could
enhance the probability of applying for the job that would be most suitable for an
applicant on many levels.
