Job Tracking Made Easy. A clean web app to keep track of you applications (Job, College, etc) with a corresponding chrome extension to make adding new Applications easier.

JTME

---

A job tracking application to make job searching less of a hassle

Development Tools

• Firebase Auth + Firestore
• React
• Redux + Saga
• Bootstrap

Use Case

• track your job application status with ease
• track the interactions you have with a company during the job application process

Use the app!

the app will be hosted soon. Check back for a link to go directly to the application

Installation

• clone down the repo and run npm install to get the necessary dependencies
• the front end of the application runs on http://localhost:3000
• to run and connect the application to your own firestore application, follow the Firebase firestore steps to set up your project then add the Firebase config information to the firebase/firebase.utils.js file to connect to your new app with all of the functionality

Notes

In addition to the web app, we have created a chrome extension which can be downloaded here though it is also included in this repo if you are cloning or downloading (see folder /jtme-extension)

Note in order for the chrome extension to work you MUST create your JTME account with google!

To add the chrome extension to your browser once downloaded:

• unzip the file
• in chrome.. go to manage extensions
• click load unpacked
• select the folder
• pin to toolbar:
  • click the puzzle piece "extensions" button on the toolbar between your existing extensions and your google account
  • find the JTME extension and click the pushpin icon if it is not blue

Once signed in it will work on any page. The idea is to save you time from switching back and forth between your spreadsheet and the job listing.

This project was created for Code With Friends Fall 2020 by Robert Keller and Brett Bedevian We'd love to hear your feedback!

Future Plans

• Scraper to autofill job information for you when you open the chrome extension on a page with a job application
• Add export functionality to take the information into the spreadsheet of your choice (google sheets, Microsoft Excel)
• sort your jobs by open or closed opportunities
• add demo user to check out application without registering your email
• add tutorial to show how to use the app the first time you log in.

jtme's Issues

Can't scroll on home page when both dropdowns are open

Specs
Browser: Google Chrome
Screen Size: 13"

To Replicate
Go to home page
Open both the Add a new Job and Give us feedback dropdowns.
Cannot scroll down to submit feedback.

Feedback form overflow

If both the "new Job" and "feedback" forms are opened, the sidebar goes off the bottom of the page & I can't see the submit button. I went through the CSS and can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this.

No form input limit, user gets stuck viewing job model

There is no form input limit, meaning I can make all fields as long as I want. This breaks the job modal and prevents the user from exiting the modal.

Specs
Browser: Google Chrome
Screen Size: 13"

To replicate:
Go to https://jtme-8027c.web.app/home
Create a new job with the company name: ;alkjsdlfkjlsdkjflkjdlfskajldkfjlskdjflkajsldkjflaksjdlfkjalskdjflkajsldkjflaksjdlfkjalskdjflakjsdlkfjadsfjalksdjf;lkajs;dlfkja;lksdjf;lkj a;owieru 01984 oij1poeij1po2u39 op1ihj ;sdkjfa ;lkdj f;akjsd; lfkja;skdjf; lakj sd;lfk ja;lskdjf;lajwo eifj;lkasjdf
Click on job to open modal.
See that job name overflows and user cannot exit modal.

Suggested solution:
Add input validations

Tool tips for buttons without text

Need to add some React tooltips for buttons that do not have text.

Perhaps we change the add job and feedback buttons to be non-text as well?

What do you think @bbedevian ??
