Job Application Form

The Job Application Form is a web application developed using Flask, SQLAlchemy, and Flask-Mail. It allows job applicants to fill out a form with their personal information and submit it. The submitted form data is stored in a SQLite database and an email notification is sent to the applicant with the submitted details.

Features

  • Form Submission: Users can fill out the job application form by providing their first name, last name, email, available start date, and current occupation.
  • Database Storage: The submitted form data is stored in a SQLite database (data.db) using SQLAlchemy.
  • Email Notification: After successful form submission, an email is sent to the applicant's provided email address using Flask-Mail.
  • Flash Messages: Flash messages are used to display a success message to the applicant after form submission.
  • Responsive Design: The form is designed using Bootstrap to ensure a responsive and user-friendly interface.

  • blinker==1.6.2

How to Run

To run the Job Application Form:

  1. Make sure you have the required dependencies installed in your Python environment.
  2. Execute the app.py script using Python.
  3. The application will start running locally.
  4. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:5001 to access the form.
  5. Fill out the form fields with the required information.
  6. Note: Replace the MAIL_USERNAME and MAIL_PASSWORD in app.py with your own email address and password to enable email notifications.
  7. Click the "Submit" button to submit the form.
  8. If the form submission is successful, a success message will be displayed, and an email notification will be sent to the provided email address.

Database

The submitted form data is stored in a SQLite database named data.db. The database file will be created automatically when the application is run for the first time. The Form model class in app.py defines the table structure and columns for storing the form data.

Templates

The application uses the index.html template file to render the job application form. The template file is located in the templates directory. It is designed using HTML and Bootstrap to provide an intuitive and responsive form interface.
