Jobs Club

Jobs Club is a modern job listing Progressive Web App that completely rethinks the traditional corporate job board experience. I created a friendly, community-focused platform that reduces job search anxiety while improving application rates. The PWA features instant search, real-time notifications, and offline job browsing capabilities, making the job search process more accessible and less stressful for users.
