Hi,
I am designing a system for my company to get employee resumes via the Web,
rather than paper. All resumes now go into a mySQL DB, which can be
searched by HR (at least that's the theory :)
Here are the scripts I will be writing.
User pages
----
Listings
Descriptions
Application form
Admin pages
-----------
Add listing
Edit listing
Delete listing
Search for matches
---
Now, job description consists of:
job code
department
desig
location
desc
qualification
contact
posted on
salary range (?)
Application form consists of:
personal information:
job code and name
first name
last name
age
sex
addr 1
addr 2
city
state
zip
country
email
web site
primary phone
country code
city code
local area
type - home/work/cell
sec. phone
SAA
willing to relocate??
employment history (last 3 jobs)
start
end
employer
job title
field of work
responsibilities
is current employer?
skills
skill name
years of experience
references
contact person
phone
email
additional info
free-form field
salary
current monetary range
current non-monetary benefits
expected
type of employment
trainee
freelance
full-time
would you like your resume to be shared with other departments?
My questions:
For job listings - how do I design the tables? Can I dump all job listings
into a single table, and all applications/resumes into another one? Or
should they be normalized?
If normalized - how much? For example, in a listing, I have job code,
department, location, salary range, etc. - should I have separate tables
for each of these? Like
jcode dept loc
1 213 2
2 77 3
where dept and loc are FKs to other tables? Or is this taking it too far?
Same for application form. All this information that I am getting - should
I put into a single table, or split across separate tables? I do plan to
search by differenet criteria later.
What about items in drop-downs? For example, if I have a drop-down for
salary ranges or countries - should this information come from a table, or
should I hard-code into the form itself? How do I make the decision as to
which is appropriate?
Any assistance much appreciated. TIA,
Vikram
