Job Board - Size Up

Gain experience with full-stack web development using Django and front-end technologies Learn how to integrate APIs into web application Learn user authentication and authorization processes using Linkedin authentication and Google Auth

Application aims for job seekers to search for openings based on their qualifications, search filters provided by user track their job applications and receive personalized job alerts. It receives user information (education, experience, and skills) by creating a form for the user to input these details. **Possibly, use Linkedin authentication to allow users to authorize the application to access their data directly from Linkedin profile. Once authorized, make API calls to retrieve user education, experience, and skills and store them inside this database. ** The application will integrate with the Linkedin, Glassdoor and Indeed APIs to retrieve user information and job postings. Users will be able to login using their Google accounts (Google Auth), and their data will be stored in Django/Postgres database.

Deployment on Render but looking into using Heroku.
