Job Search Engine

Created by Made by: Mansour Albader

Introduction

Electronic resources, such as job search websites, company websites, and professional networking platforms like LinkedIn, provide access to a vast and diverse array of job opportunities. Graduates can explore positions in various industries, locations, and fields, allowing them to find the best fit for their skills and interests.

Job searching electronically is much more efficient and convenient than traditional methods like scanning newspapers or walking into offices. Graduates can search and apply for jobs 24/7, from the comfort of their own homes, which saves time and effort.

Web Scraping Technology

What is Web Scraping?

Web scraping is a technique used to extract data from websites. It involves programmatically accessing and collecting information from web pages, typically in a structured format like HTML, and then converting that data into a more usable format, such as a spreadsheet or a database.

Applications

Web scraping is commonly employed for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Data analysis and business intelligence
  • Market research and competitive analysis
  • Automation of repetitive tasks
  • Content aggregation

Data Processing

Once the data is collected, it can be transformed into a structured format, such as a CSV file or a database, making it easier to analyze and work with. This project demonstrates this process by scraping job listings and organizing them in a searchable database.
