3. Job Details and Application Links: Detailed information about each job listing, such as job descriptions, required qualifications, and application links, is provided to users. Users can access the job application page directly through the provided links.
4. External API Integration: External APIs like the Google Maps API are integrated to retrieve additional information about job locations, including commute times, nearby amenities, and estimated living costs. This helps users make informed decisions about potential job opportunities.
5. Save and Bookmark Jobs: Users can save or bookmark interesting job listings for later review. This feature allows users to create a shortlist of potential job opportunities and easily access the saved listings in subsequent sessions.
6. Email Notifications: An automated email notification system sends users regular updates or alerts regarding new job listings that match their search criteria. This feature keeps users informed about the latest opportunities without the need for constant manual searches.
7. User-Friendly Interface: The project provides a clean and intuitive user interface where users can navigate through job listings, search filters, and bookmarked jobs. Sort options based on criteria like date posted or relevance are available.
