Boss.Az Console Job Portal

Boss.Az Console Job Portal is a C#/.NET Framework console application that simulates a recruitment platform. The application supports worker and employer registration, sign-in, vacancy management, CV management, vacancy search, job applications, notifications, and JSON-based local persistence.

The project was built as an exam/final project and now uses a clearer source layout so the domain model, authentication flow, infrastructure helpers, presentation helpers, and application entry point are easier to navigate.

Features

• Worker and employer sign-up/sign-in flows.
• Employer vacancy creation, listing, deletion, and applicant review.
• Worker CV creation, listing, deletion, and job application flow.
• Vacancy search and filtering from the console interface.
• Notification delivery between employers and workers.
• Local JSON persistence through Newtonsoft.Json.
• Console UI helpers for menu navigation and formatted output.
• Exception logging to Errors.txt.

Tech Stack

• C#
• .NET Framework 4.7.2
• Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1
• Visual Studio/MSBuild project format

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2019 or newer, or MSBuild with .NET Framework 4.7.2 targeting pack.
• NuGet package restore enabled.

Build and Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/aykhan019/Cs_ExamProject.git
   cd Cs_ExamProject

2. Open BossAZ.csproj in Visual Studio.

3. Restore NuGet packages if Visual Studio does not do it automatically.

4. Build and run the project.

For a command-line build with Mono:

nuget install packages.config -OutputDirectory packages
xbuild /p:Configuration=Debug BossAZ.csproj

The application seeds sample workers, employers, CVs, and vacancies at startup and writes the current database to database.json in the working directory.

Usage

Use the keyboard-driven console menus to sign in or create an account:

• Choose Worker to manage CVs, browse/search vacancies, apply for jobs, and view notifications.
• Choose Employer to manage vacancies, review applicants, hire workers, and view notifications.

Runtime errors are written to Errors.txt for debugging.
