Job Application Tracker

The Job Application Tracker is a backend web application built using Spring Boot. It provides role-based access for customers (job seekers), employers, and administrators. Users can register, log in, and perform role-specific actions such as job posting, job searching, and application tracking.

This project is designed with a modular architecture, includes secure JWT-based authentication, and uses Spring Data JPA for database interactions.
