Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/aspnetcore-jobportal.git
cd aspnetcore-jobportal

2. Configure Database Connection In appsettings.json, update the DefaultConnection string to point to your local SQL Server or SQLite:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=JobPortalDb;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
  }
}

💡 You can use SQLite or another provider if preferred—just update the DbContext options in Program.cs.
