The Perfect Job (part 2) (
Page 1 of 7 )
In the first part of this article, you built the architecture
necessary to accept and store resumes online. In this concluding part, find
out how to make use of the stored data to find suitable candidates for a
particular job, and also read about the functions available to maintain and
update the job listings.In the first part of this article, I explained some of the problems typically
associated with data management in a HR department, and put together a
functional specification for a Web-based application to make the task easier.
After putting together a basic database schema and normalizing it, I proceeded
to develop scripts to display job listings, accept user applications, and store
these applications in the database.
While the first part of this article
described the user experience, I have not yet addressed the issues of updating
the job board with new information, removing existing entries, or searching for
potential candidates - all of which formed part of the initial feature set of
this application. And so, in this concluding article, I'm going to wrap things
up by looking at some of the tasks an administrator would need to accomplish in
such a system, and developing some simple scripts to accomplish these.
