Business Casual is a comprehensive online application for tracking your job search.
If you've submitted more resumes to more places than you can possibly remember, it's time to start keeping a log of where and when you've applied to each job. Business casual allows you to store information about the job you've applied for (including the link to the job description), when you submitted your resume, the version of the resume you submitted, the follow up date, and much more. Besides that, you can dynamically add comments and next steps to stay on organized.
Business Casual saves your time while putting you in complete control of your career and job search.

In the v2 of the application, the following features will be added:
- Provide tool for tracking networking activities to ensure that no valuable contacts are lost.
- Allow users to tie events to a calendar of their choice to stay on top of their schedule.
- Allow users to create a list of targeted companies.
- Allow users to store information about companies to help them get ready for the upcoming and future interviews.
- Add capability of checking incoming emails to catch those coming from your job search related contact list.
- Allow users to create reports about their job search activity.
I encountered some hurdles during production time with Business Casual in the form of:
- MEAN Stack concept - Understanding how back end is connected to the front end, how they depend and work with each other, and implementing this concept in life.
- Custom configuration of Angular's $Resource service - that is used to perform CRUD on RESTful resources.
- CSS styling - Had some difficulties with hover over effect on thumbnails.
