Dive into the Salesforce platform and channel its capabilities to redefine your job application tracking experience. This capstone project, a part of Cloud Code Academy's curriculum, aims to cultivate a proficient Salesforce developer out of you.
Job searching can often become chaotic. With this project, we bring structure and efficiency into the process. Using Salesforce's versatile capabilities, you'll be building features that keep track of applications and add layers of automation, integration, and validation.
Key Features:

- Validations: Assure the integrity of data with programmatic validations.
- Salary Calculations: Implement dynamic functionalities for salary calculations based on set parameters.
- Integration with Job Boards: Sync your application seamlessly with top job boards for updated tracking.
