Abstract
Over the past few years, it has been noted there has been an increase in demand of jobs worldwide. Due to this, companies have been receiving various applications therefore making the process of application for these jobs for university students who are about to graduate or have graduated frustrating for them therefore leading them to apply for jobs that they do not want, or they do not have the required skill. However, Strathmore’s University Career Development Office has tried to help Strathmore students overcome these challenges by offering free advice and accepting manual applications which can be tiresome to manage since these applications are paper based therefore making it difficult to track various student’s applications by the career development officers therefore making it a burden to them due to the heavy workload of reviewing and filing various applications. The developed system is meant to help Strathmore University with their job application process. The developed system is an online web-based job application portal that is meant to be implemented in Strathmore’s University Website under the Career Development Site (CDS). The developed enables students to login and submit their various applications, companies to have their own profiles which will show their details, for example, various vacancies, interview dates and various events. This will encourage students to select their careers wisely and in turn land in good working places of their wish. The developed system has been developed using Prototyping methodology since it is user and time friendly when it comes to developing the system and one can easily make changes to the developed system since it is an actual mockup of how the actual system will look like. Other tools that were used include MySQL as the DBMS and PHP as the programming language and Laravel as the framework
