for the job seekers to find their desired jobs. Job seekers from any background can search for

easily the job seeker can submit their resume and get the lot of opportunity of the job related to
their profile. And by this website the companies or employer can also find the good and well

1.3 Objective :

1.5 Related Concepts

1. java database connectivity :

JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity. JDBC is a Java API to connect and execute
the query with the database. It is a part of JavaSE (Java Standard Edition). JDBC API uses
JDBC drivers to connect with the database. We can use JDBC API to access tabular data
stored in any relational database. By the help of JDBC API, we can save, update, delete and
fetch data from the database. It is like Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) provided by
Microsoft [5].

2. Servlet :

Servlet technology is used to create a web application (resides at server side and generates a
dynamic web page). A servlet is a Java programming language class that is used to extend
the capabilities of servers that host applications accessed by means of a request-response
programming model. Although servlets can respond to any type of request, they are
commonly used to extend the applications hosted by web servers. For such applications,
Java Servlet technology defines HTTP-specific servlet classes [3].

9
3. Tomcat Server :

Tomcat is an open source Java Servlet Container by Apache Software Foundation for
implementing Java Servlet, Java Servlet Pages (JSP). The web application is deployed into
the Tomcat server. Using any web browser, we can run the web application that is deployed
into the Tomcat Server [10].

4. JSP :

JSP technology is used to create web application just like Servlet technology. It can be
thought of as an extension to Servlet because it provides more functionality than servlet
such as expression language, JSTL, etc.

A JSP page consists of HTML tags and JSP tags. The JSP pages are easier to maintain than
Servlet because we can separate designing and development. It provides some additional
features such as Expression Language, Custom Tags, etc [4].

5. MySQL:

This application uses MySQL as a back end database. MySQL is a fast, open source
Relational database management system for developing web-based applications. Since it a
relational based database, data is stored in the form of tables and relations are established
between tables using primary keys, foreign keys [9].

LITERATURE SURVEY
Job Procurement: Old and New ways Job seeking usually involves
different to look for jobs such as through personal contact, direct telephone calls to

Finding all available job vacancies is a main step in the job seeking process.
The internet is now powerful tool that jobseeker can use.
Today, there are many sites that advertise job positions to be filled by people
with certain skills in various fields. Most planning and development organizations are
now using computer technology and the Internet For Staff recruitment. It should be noted that
although the Internet has fascinated the process of job-seeking, it has not replaced the
traditional methods completely.
Importance of Job Portals: In the age of technology, the internet has become
the main source of information for jobseekers, large corporations, Institutions and
universities include information career prospects on their websites. According to the Survey
70% of the workforce uses websites or portals on the internet to search for jobs.
