• PATCH /api/jobs/update/:id
• Updates an existing job listing
• Requires authentication and ownership of the job

• DELETE /api/jobs/delete/:id
• Deletes a job listing
• Requires authentication and ownership of the job

• GET /api/jobs/get/:id
• Retrieves details of a specific job listing

• GET /api/jobs/get-all-jobs
• Retrieves a list of all jobs with limited fields (logo, position, salary)

• GET /api/jobs/filter/:skills

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies: npm install
3. Set up your MongoDB database
4. Create a .env file with the following variables:
   • MONGODB_URI: Your MongoDB connection string
   • TOKEN_SECRET: Secret key for JWT signing
5. Start the server: npm start

The API includes basic error handling. All endpoints will return appropriate HTTP status codes and error messages in case of failures.

• Passwords are hashed using bcrypt before storing in the database
• JWT is used for authentication
• User IDs are verified for protected routes to ensure users can only modify their own data
