Aim of the Project

The aim of this project is to understand how a real hiring platform is put together on the frontend—by building the Job Seeker and Employer experiences yourself, instead of just reading about how one might work.

Through this, you get hands-on practice with Functional Components, Props (including prop drilling), and the useState hook to manage everything happening in the app — from which tab is active to which job is being edited.

You'll also work with conditional rendering and event handling to make the UI respond the way a real application would, controlled form inputs for the Apply and Job forms, and useEffect to pre-fill a form when editing existing data.

You'll also learn how to keep a growing project organized by splitting it into small, reusable components spread across clearly named folders, and how import/export ties everything back together so each page only pulls in exactly what it needs.

So the real aim isn't just having two working pages by the end — it's walking away understanding why the project is structured the way it is, and how each small piece plays its part.
