Abstract about the project:

This project was developed keeping in mind that to create an awareness among the
job seekers and the job providers. The primary objective of the project is to create an
interactive job seeking and vacancy forum portal.

The main motivation of this project is to search jobs through portal such that the job
seekers can find jobs easily. Therefore we can get different jobs from different companies
with more opportunities and it also consumes less time. This motivates me to choose this
project.
The project involves the modules like Administrator, Company (job provider) and the
Register or the user (job seeker). The functionality of each module is explained later in this
report. On the whole the objective of the project is to enable jobseekers to place their resumes
and companies to publish their vacancies.
The system is developed using Visual Studio v.10 and MS-Access Databases using
support for running the application in user. Here all the phases of software development life
cycle are covered.

Basic knowledge required to develop this project are:

1. ASP.NET
2. VB.NET
3. MS ACCESS

1. INTRODUCTION
vii

1.1 Background
This project is in reference to the customer brief received by us. The primary
objective of the project is to create an interactive job seeking and vacancy forum portal. This
web application is to be conceived in its current form as a dynamic site-requiring constant
updates both from the seekers as well as the companies.
There will also be an administrative module that is to be developed for the customer,
with which the valid administrator can log on to the site using a predefined username and
password. There are certain functionalities for which he can log on to the site, and these
include changes to the database content as for change in logos (images), general content,
banners, etc. Thus the administrator can only change the general look and feel of the
application/site, but not the entries made by the jobseeker and also the companies.
On the whole the objective of the project is to enable jobseekers to place their
resumes and companies to publish their vacancies.

1.2 Problem Definition

The objective of this project is to works as an interface between the jobseekers and
job providers. The candidates who are searching for the job can register in E-jobs.
1.3 Motivation
The main motivation of this project is to search jobs through portal such that the job
seekers can find jobs easily. Therefore we can get different jobs from different companies
with more opportunities and it also consumes less time. This motivates me to choose this
project.

1.4 Other Existing Methods

In some of job providing online systems we are going to register the job seekers
details and then only we can view the details of the company and job information so that we
can able to know the Clear information about the site and also the job information.

1.5 Methods of Problem Solving

viii

The online job site provides the job offers and company information after register in
their site. But in E-jobs provides the company information and fields which as per the
requirement of the job seeker and also the job offers .so that job seeker can get confidentiality
about the site and can know which are the companies are linked with this
E-Jobs site.

1.6 Assumptions
The project works under the assumption that ASP and the Microsoft SQL Server is
installed in the system.
1.7 Summary of Results
The personal information of the job seeker and the vacancy details of the company are
the input forms. The companys can view the details of the job seeker and they can store there
job details. The Company can only view the resume, they are not permit to delete the resume.
The site admin can view the job seeker details and company details.

1.8 Report Overview

2.2 Brief Overview of ASP

INTRODUCTION TO ACTIVE SERVER PAGES
x

Active Server Pages is Microsofts solution to building advanced web sites.

Many of the largest, most technologically demanding and most successful
commercial Web sites running on the Internet today-such as Dell (www.dell.com),
Hotbox (www.hotbox.com) etc. were built using ASP.
Active Server Pages (ASP) is a server-side scripting environment that you can use to
create and run dynamic, Inter ActiveX high-performance web server application. When your
scripts run in the server rather than on the client, your web server does all the work involved
in generating the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages that you send to browsers.
pages that include server-side script are called active server pages (ASP) and use the .asp
extension. Asp provides functionality to web pages through the use of a script language. Asp
automatically supports the VBScript and JavaScript.

2.2.1 USING ACTIVE SERVER PAGES

i.

Generate dynamic web pages, an active server can display different content to
different users or display different content at different times of the day.

ii.

Process the contents of HTML forms. You can use an active server page to retrieve
and respond to the data entered into a HTML form.

iii.

Create database-driven web pages. An active server page can insert new data or
retrieve existing data from a database such as Microsoft SQL server.

iv.

Track user sessions. You can use Active Server Pages to store information about users
from the moment they arrive at your web site until the moment they leave.

v.

Create searchable web pages. When used with Microsoft index server or Microsoft
SQL server Full-Text search, active server pages enable you to create a search engine
for your web site.

vi.

Detect the capabilities different browsers. An active server page can detect the
features that a browser supports and display content that is appropriate to different
browsers.

vii.

Send and retrieve email. An active server page can automatically send email to users
and retrieve email sent to your web site.

xi

viii.

Integrate custom components into your web site. You can extend your active server
page scripts with custom server-side components created with Microsoft script
components, Microsoft Visual Basic, or Microsoft Visual C++.

ix.

An active server page is a feature that can be used with the following web servers.

x.

Microsoft Internet information server version 3.0 on Windows NT server.

xi.

Microsoft peer web services version 3.0 on Windows NT workstation.

xii.

Microsoft personal web server on Windows 95.

2.2.2 ELEMENTS OF AN ASP 2.2.3 ASP OBJECTS

An asp file is a text file that can contain any combination of the following elements.
i.

Text

ii.

HTML tags

iii.

Server-side script

iv.

Client-side script

2.2.3 ASP OBJECTS

Intrinsic objects are features built into the asp architecture. Five objects are intrinsic to
ASP. You can use them to add additional functionality to a web application. Using intrinsic
objects you can share information among all users of your application store information for a
specific user retrieve information passed from the user to the server send output to the user
and work with the properties and methods of components on the server.

THE FOLLOWING TABLE LISTS THE OBJECTS AND THEIR USE.

xii

_____________________________________________________________
OBJECT

DESCRIPTION

_____________________________________________________________
REQUEST

Retrieves the value that the user

Passes to the web server during an HTTP request.

RESPONSE

Controls what information is sent to a user

in the HTTP response message.

Stores information about a particular user

Session.

APPLICATION

Share information among all users of web

Application

SERVER

Provide access to resources that reside on

a web server.

OBJECT CONTEXT

Control active server pages transactions.

Table .1 Object and their uses

2.2.4 WORKING WITH ASP APPLICATIONS

An application is something more than a group of pages sitting on a hard drive. When
active server pages are joined together in an application.An active server pages application is
not the same as a web site. An application is defined by using the intent service manager to
specify a root directory for the application. An application consists of a particular directory
and all its subdirectories.
Following is a list of some features of an asp application,

xiii

i.

Data can be shared among the pages in an application and therefore, among more than
one user of a web site.

ii.

An application has events that can trigger special application scripts.

iii.

An instance of an object can be shared among all the pages in an application.

iv.

Separate applications can be configured with the Internet service manager to have
different properties.

v.

Each application can be isolated to execute in its own memory space.

vi.

You can stop one application (unloading all its components from memory) without
affecting other application.

2.2.5 INTRODUCTION TO JAVASCRIPT

JavaScript is Netscape's cross-platform, object-based scripting language for client and
server applications. JavaScript lets you create applications that run over the Internet. Using
JavaScript, you can create dynamic HTML pages that process user input and maintain
persistent data using special objects, files, and relational databases. You can build
applications ranging from internal corporate information management and intranet publishing
to mass-market electronic transactions and commerce. Through JavaScript's Live Connect
functionality, your applications can access Java and CORBA distributed-object applications.
Some developers choose to use JavaScript solely on the client (in Navigator or
another web browser). Larger-scale applications frequently have more complex needs, such
as communicating with a relational database, providing continuity of information from one
invocation to another of the application, or performing file manipulations on a server. For
these more demanding situations, Netscape web servers contain server-side JavaScript, which
has extra JavaScript, objects to support server-side capabilities.
Some aspects of the core language act differently when run on a server. In addition, to
support the increased performance demands in these situations, JavaScript run on the server is
compiled before installation, whereas the runtime engine compiles each client-side JavaScript
script at runtime.
Client-side JavaScript (or Navigator JavaScript) encompasses the core language plus
extras such as the predefined objects only relevant to running JavaScript in a browser.

xiv

Server-side JavaScript encompasses the same core language plus extras such as the
predefined objects and functions only relevant to running JavaScript on a server complete

2.2.6 INTRODUCTION TO HTML:

HTML is a Markup language used to build web pages. A web page is simply a special
type of file written in HTML. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. Hypertext is
ordinary text that has been dressed up with extra features, such as formatting, images,
multimedia and links to other documents. Markup is the process of taking ordinary text and
adding extra symbols. each of the symbols used for markup in HTML is a command that tells
a browser how to display the text. Markup can be very simple, or it can be very complicated.
Either way, the underlying text being marked up is always present and viewable. Language is
actually a key point to remember about HTML.
HTML is a computer language, related to computer programming languages. HTML
has its own syntax, slang and rules for proper communication. Markup languages are special
type of computer languages, because they are solely concerned with classifying the parts of a
document according to their function. In other words, indicating which part is the title of the
document, which part is a subheading, which part is the name of the author, and so on.
HTML isn't really a programming language. Instead, HTML is a markup language that has a
different goal than creating a program.
The main goal of HTML is to be a Universal Language for the classification of
different section of a document. In other words, HTML is used to define the different parts of
a web page. We indicate which part of the document is the title, which part of the document
is address, which part of the document is to be emphasized, which part of the document
should include the image, and so forth.
HTML is neither a page-layout language nor a printing language. The only thing
HTML does is classification of parts of the document so that a browser can display it
xv

correctly. This allows documents to be displayed on many different kinds of platforms. The
important thing to remember is that HTML is designed to work on a wide verity of platforms.
Not just ordinary personal - computer platforms like PCs and Macintoshes, but HTML is also
designed to work on a wide variety of graphical workstations, dumb terminals, network
computers, hand-held devices, and much more.
ADVANTAGES OF HTML
Flexibility:
We can always work on our web sites even when we are away from the computer we
usually work on, because no matter which computer we end up using, it always have a text
editor we can use to edit the raw HTML. we are not dependent on a particular piece of
software that may not be available to us.
Deeper Understanding:
We will have a much better concept of the structure of the page that we have created
and understanding of why it works the way it does, because we built the page from the
ground up.
Troubleshooting:
Since we wrote the HTML, we'll be able to troubleshoot it efficiently and have a
better idea of what techniques to try if some things not working.
Price:
Using HTML doesn't cost us a price. There are no expensive licenses to buy and no
annoying upgrades to purchase.
Independence:
We are not stuck to any one vendor or any one program. We do not have to worry
about bugs in a particular editing program or any companies going out of business and
leaving us standard.

Fig 2.3.1: Incremental Software Methodology
Incremental Developmental Software Methodology is followed in this project. As
new modules are completed, they can be integrated with the existing modules so that the
system can be enhanced with each delivered module. Whenever the customer needs to
enhance the system they can implement those modules and the customer need not have to
wait until the entire system is delivered. Since in this model we can have better perception of
every model properly and bugs and errors can be rectified with much more greater ease.
Incremental development is an in-between approach which combines the advantage of both
waterfall model as well as evolutionary model.

3.2 Architecture Details

The primary objective of the project is to create an interactive job seeking and
vacancy forum portal. This web application is to be conceived in its current form as a
dynamic site-requiring constant updates both from the seekers as well as the companies.
There will also be an administrative module that is to be developed for the customer, with
which the valid administrator can log on to the site using a predefined username and
password. There are certain functionalities for which he can log on to the site, and these
include changes to the database content as for change in logos (images) , general content
,banners ,etc .Thus the administrator can only change the general look and feel of the
application/site, but not the entries made by the jobseeker and also the companies.
The various phases of this project development as discussed at the time of
inception with the customer are as follows:
Phase 1:
Development of the project prototype and on approval the subsequent
development of seeker personal screens and vacancy forum screens. Also an
administrative module has to be provided to the customer for making updates
in the database in case of change in daily headlines and advertisement
spaces.
Phase 2:
xxii

Subsequent to the successful launch of the web application, the next step involves
development and database enabling of the site together with modules for other
specified countries.
Phase 3:
Incorporating various useful functionalities like Interview Tips, opinion poll,
news, online competitions, with list of recruitment events, into the web
application, as suggested by the customer.

The current scope covers only the first phase, entails developing the dynamic web
application/site using Active Server Pages. In addition to that, an administrative module is
also to be developed which facilitated the administrator to monitor the contents and make
appropriate changes.
Phase two and three do not fall under the present scope of the project. But they have
to be taken into consideration with respect to that they would be a part of the current
application and hence all scalability issues have to be dealt with. Also under the scope of the
present phase is the development of the project based on design templates and these templates
would be followed in the subsequent scopes and phases of the project.

3.3 Feasibility Assessment Report
All projects are feasible given unlimited resources and infinite time. It is both
necessary and prudent to evaluate the feasibility of the project at the earliest possible time.
Feasibility and risk analysis is related in many ways. If project risk is great, the feasibility
listed below is equally important. The following feasibility technique has been used in this
project:

1. Operational Feasibility
Proposed system is beneficial since it turned into
will meet organization's operating requirements.
xxvi

information system that

2. Financial Feasibility
Considering the financial feasibility this system is developed.
3. Economic Feasibility
Economic analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating
effectiveness of the candidate system. More commonly known as cost/benefit
analysis, the procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected from
the candidate system and compare them with the costs and benefits and then a
decision is made to design and implement the system. Otherwise further justification
of alterations in the proposed system will have to be made if it is to have a chance of
being approved. This system reduces the operating cost in terms of time by
automating the process of giving remedy. Chance of errors is minimized and the
benefits to the organization are more. Hence, this system is economically feasible.
4. Technical Feasibility
Technical feasibility centers on the existing computer system and to what
extent it can support the proposed addition. i.e., if the current computer is operating at
80% capacity then running another application could overload the system or require
additional hardware. This involves financial considerations to accommodate the
additional technical enhancements. If budget is not a serious constraint, then the
project is judged technically feasible.

4. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM

Once the system has been designed, the next step is to convert the designed one in to
actual code, so as to satisfy the user requirements as excepted. If the system is approved to be
error free it can be implemented.

4.1 TESTING
Testing is the major quality control measure employed during software development.
Its basic function is to detect the errors in the software. For this, different levels of testing are
used, which performs different tasks on the aim to test different aspects of the system.

4.1.1 UNIT TESTING

In this testing we test each module individually. Unit testing focuses on the
verification of the smallest units of the software design the module. This is known as unit
testing. The modules of the system are tested separately. This test is carried out during
programming stage itself. Each module should work satisfactorily as regards to the expected
from the module.
4.1.2 INTEGRATION TESTING
Integration testing is a systematic technique of constructing the program structure
while at the same time conducting the tests, which uncover errors, associated within the
interface. All modules are combined in this step. Then the entire program is tested as a whole
and chaos usually results. A set of errors encountered and it is solved.

4.1.3 VALIDATION TESTING

Validation can be defined in many ways, but simple definition is that validation
succeeds if the software functions in a manner that is reasonably expected by the client.
Software validation is achieved through a series of black box text that demonstrate
conformity with requirements. A test plan outlines the classes of tests to be conducted and a
test procedure defines the specific test cases that will be used in a attempt to uncover errors in
conformity with requirements. Both the plan and procedures are designed to ensure that all

4.2 TOOL USED

The tool used to implement this project ASP.NET with MS Access.
4.3 SYSTEM STUDY
Essentially the application/site is to consist of an integrated solution, which involves
off the shelf software products such as Microsofts ASP and RDBMS MS-SQL Server 7.0 for
providing the system functionality. A solution is needed that allows the application/site to
create the best of breed implementation of software and hardware components. A major goal
is to simplify the creation, development, deployment and maintenance of the application/site
without compromising on the functional working of the application/site. The number of hits
that the application/site would sustain i.e. the load factor of the application/ site depends upon
the capacity of the web server. This capacity depends on various factors viz. memory of the
server, operating system, connection speed with database etc. Regarding the development
aspect of the application/site and number of concurrent users, Xyz are supposed be using
ASP technology. We have to develop components, which are pre-compiled, and thus the web
pages take minimal amount of time in downloading and can be accessed by multiple users.
Cascading style sheets (CSS) is to be used so that there is one access point to all the
web pages in the site, such that if the website requires modification, changes will have to be
made in one file only. We agree that websites must have a strong visual appeal, but not to the
detriment of the site's usefulness. Our approach is to apply technology in ways that enhanced
the message being communicated or the application being built.

4.4 Xara Web style

This is the button creation software from the Xara Inc., Ltd.
Whenever we want to navigate from one page to another page we will use the links concept.
Rather using the links with the simple text, we can use the buttons, which makes our page
colorful. This software is very useful for those who wants to design their website attractive
and interactive. Through this software we can design not only user defined colorful buttons
but also attractive headings and backgrounds. By checking the lock size option in the button
creation process, we can design the same size buttons entire web page. It default takes its
created buttons format as .GIF, which is very common and very important in the web page
design.
This software also contains few predefined backgrounds, which makes our page alive,
some symbolic buttons also available like, home, back etc.,. We can also add effects like
mouse over effects to the buttons using the different colors of buttons.

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

5.1 Individual Contribution
Even though collective efforts have been made from my teammate in realizing the
project, individually I have contributed the following to the project:
Module 2
Company Module
The company can enter the details about the job vacancy, their requirements for the
job. The admin gets these information and stores in the database. The company also has the
capability to add or remove the details about the job vacancy fields such as Financial,
Information technology, Accounting, Legal, Hospitality etc. And these informations are
stored in the database.

5.2 Expected Results

The job register into the E-JOBS by specifying username and password. The company
will register the vacancies of the jobs into the E-JOBS website by specifying the username
and password. The registered candidates details and the job details as per the company
specifications will be stored in the database, which can be viewed by the E-JOBS
administrators. E-JOBS administrator views the stored details by specifying their username
and password. The services and process of the E-JOBS is provided in the website for the
employer. The Hints & Tips are provided in the website for the job seekers to help with their
job application.
5.3 Result Obtained
"E-Jobs is an online portal providing jobs for job seekers. The job seekers register their
resumes by specifying username and password. Similarly the employer registers the
vacancies for the jobs by specifying username and password. The resumes and job details are
stored in the database. The company can retrieve resumes from the database and able to
modify the entries made by the job seeker.
The companies enter through the site by specifying company name and password. They
can view the resume stored by the job seekers and the company stores the details of the
vacancies by filling the job details form given by the admin. In that it specifies the various
fields includes financial planning, IT, legal, accounting, sales and marketing, hospital. They
li

choose in what field and stored in to the database then publish their vacancies to the job
seekers. And they can able to delete their vacancy details from the database.
In this administrative module that is to be developed for the customer, with which the
valid administrator can log on to the site using a predefined username and password. There
are certain functionalities for which he can log on to the site, and these include changes to the
database content as for change in logos (images), general content, banners, etc. Thus the
administrator can only change the general look and feel of the application/site, but not the
entries made by the jobseeker and also the companies.
The functionalities of admin is follows three options:
In the first option the admin have the power to add/ remove the company information,
which have been added /deleted from the database. The admin can also delete the information
stored by company also. But not the entries made by the companies and they can manually
add the information to the database. For every addition and deletion process, if its processed
successfully conformation page will appear.
The company fills the second option to which. The admin also can add/remove the job
information. Company will fill the vacancy details according to the fields specified in the
form financial planning, IT, legal, accounting, sales and marketing, hospital and
Also the details about qualification, experience, number of employs are been filled
and stored in the database. And can delete the details from the database. But not the entries
made by the companies. For every addition and deletion process, if its processed
successfully conformation page will appear.
The third option is about job seeker details. The registration form filled by the job
seeker with different fields like financial planning, IT, legal, accounting, sales and marketing,
hospital. The admin only can have the power to delete the information stored by the job
seekers from the database. But not the entries made by the jobseeker. For every deletion
process, if its processed successfully conformation page will appear

6. CONCLUSION
The E-JOBS has been developed for the present requirements and it works
satisfactorily under all the circumstances that may arise in the real environment. Since the
screens are user-friendly, any end user gets familiarized with its usage. As it is developed in
ASP it provides all security as well as advanced futures. The system is designed to highly
flexible so that any future modifications and requirements and easily incorporated without
much design complication.
The goals that have been achieved by the developed system include:
i.

It simplifies the operation

ii.

It reducing the processing time

iii.

7. FUTURE WORK
In this jobs search system we made a part storing the information in the database from
the job seeker side through the registration form and can retrieve the information from the
database
Then the jobseeker information is matched with the vacancy filled by the employer this
process is done by the site admin then a message is forwarded to job seeker from E-jobs.
After that the job seeker will move on for the interview in the date specified by the company
with that message.
