Entity-Relationship (ER) Diagram
The ER diagram is used to model the data structure and the relationships between different
entities in the system. For example, entities such as User, Resume, Job Listing, and Mock

Interview can be linked with relationships to ensure data integrity.

• Entities:
o User: Attributes include user ID, name, email, skills, and job preferences.
o Resume: Attributes include resume ID, user ID (foreign key), resume content,
and ATS score.
o Job Listing: Attributes include job ID, company name, location, job role, and
required skills.
o Mock Interview: Attributes include interview ID, user ID (foreign key),
interview type, questions, and responses.

10. Limitations and Future Scope
Limitations:
1. Initial User Base:
o In the early stages, the platform may face challenges in attracting a large user
base, as it would require marketing and word-of-mouth to scale. This may
limit the availability of job listings and mock interview participation, especially
in niche fields.
2. ATS Parsing Accuracy:
o While the ATS scoring system is designed to provide meaningful feedback, its
accuracy might not match real-world ATS systems, which can vary across
companies.
3. Dependency on Web Scraping:
o The job aggregation feature relies on scraping job listings from external
sources. If these job boards change their website structure or implement anti-
scraping measures, it may affect the accuracy and completeness of job
updates.
4. Mobile App Compatibility:
o Some features (such as video-based mock interviews) may not work
consistently across all mobile devices, especially older models or those with
limited processing power.
Future Scope:
1. Integration with Real ATS Systems:
o In the future, integrating with actual ATS systems used by companies would
allow the platform to provide more realistic feedback and improve the
accuracy of resume scoring.
2. AI-Powered Job Matching:
o Implementing AI and machine learning algorithms to automatically match
users with relevant job opportunities based on their skills, experiences, and
preferences would enhance the job search process.
3. Multi-Language Support:
o Expanding the platform to support multiple languages would allow non-
English-speaking users to benefit from the services, making the platform more
globally accessible.

4. AI-Driven Interview Coaching:
o Future versions of the mock interview module could include AI-powered
feedback, providing more nuanced evaluations of users' answers and
suggesting specific areas for improvement.
