A PHP Project Report on Online Job Management System

1. Introduction

With the advancement of technology, application areas of computer are rising day by day. Every sector desires its procurement for fast accurate and automated operations. Therefore, different programs are developed to meet the requirement of various types of users i.e. related to any field.

This program entitled “Online Job Management System” is a minor group work of BCA VI^th semester students. It is a web application which is helpful in the areas of job recruitment. This application includes all the activities in which the job is recruited. The activities like job searching, job placement, online applying etc are included.

This project is database oriented program because it is developed using DBMS like MySQL. The programming language used for developing this web application is PHP.

User need not have to think about where the data should be saved or from where we can retrieve it. All the data are saved automatically in the defined place and are retrieved from there directly by using this application. No computer trainings or experts are needed to handle this web application.

In terms of security this software is totally secure as it doesn't give access to unauthorized users as the username and password facility is provided.

Hence, this software is helpful for the job recruitment who want to find the required job with required salary and required employees in this competitive day to day changing world. This project is also a small step towards development of big online web application.

1.1 Problem Statement

The old system of applying job was paper file system. On which records are kept in a paper file by hand. There were many problems such as security, slowness, calculation errors, storage place, backup of records, redundancy etc.

1.2 Objectives

The main objective behind preparing this project is that to do online job recruitment.

Employers can easily input the job vacancy of their organization. Candidates can easily make their CV and can online apply for the job. Besides this there are many objectives like:

• To online apply job.
• To save time and accuracy in work.
• To easily make CV.
• For fast access of data.
• To find suitable, qualified candidates for the job.
• To find job with good salary.

1.3 Background Study

During this project development, we visited different websites which do online job recruitment such as www.merojob.com, www.kantipurjob.com to do analysis of the difficulties of administrative group and provide such solution which may solve their problem. We also ask them about how their activities are operated day to day. We also discuss what the best solution of this problem is.

1.4 Advantages

·         Password login system

·         It saves travelling cost and time.

·         Insert, delete, search, update is very fast

·         We can send email.

1.5 Limitations

·         No printing facility.

·         Since online, less security.

2. Methodology

The waterfall model is implemented while developing the system. The main system is divided into many sub programs and modules. But they all are focused to one goal i.e. the smooth running of the program. This methodology implemented here implies that the system's control is from top to bottom.

The different phases that we underwent during implementation of this model are:

2.1 Problem Identification

Problem identification is the first step to develop this project. In this step, we found out the existing problem of the system.

Need for the new system. The main objective of this step we analyses and identify the problems.

Some of the problems are as follows:

v  The organization has a poor response time

v  It is unable to handle the work load

v  it is not economical

v  The problem of accuracy and reliability

v  The problem of security

2.2 Feasibility Study

The purpose of this phase is to produce the feasibility study documents that evaluate the cost and benefits of the proposed application. It also provides:

a)      The definition of the problem.

b)      The alternative solution and their benefits.

c)      Required resources cost and delivery dates.

2.2.1 Technical Feasibility

2.2.4 Operational Feasibility

Manpower requires short training to operate this software. After that training they can easily handle this software. This project is user friendly.

2.3 Requirement Analysis

After the feasibility analysis this phase performs the identification and documents the exact requirement for the system. This phase produce user manual and plans for the system test that is performed before the system is delivered.

2.4 System Design and Specification

This phase involves how to solve the problem. We have divided in two phase i.e.:

a)      Architectural or high level design.

b)      Detailed design.

2.5 Coding and Module Testing

The actual code is produced that will be delivered to the user as a running system. Individual modules developed in this phase are tested before going to the next phase. For testing we use

1.      Black Box testing

2.      White Box testing

2.6 Integration and System Testing

The modules that have been developed and tested are put together and are tested as a whole system.

5. Future Enhancement

·         Improvement in the security system will be done.

·         Photo storing facility in Database will be added.

·         Designing can be made better. 

6. Conclusion

This project made by the handwork of the group members and is a small effort in the development of larger web application, and it involves limited aspects which are needed in day to day online job recruitment.
