 # FinJob
 
 ###### Modern job portals face issues like inconsistent environments, slow deployments, and unreliable resume screening processes. Manual testing and lack of automation lead to errors and inefficient feature delivery. A DevOps-driven solution with CI/CD and containerization is needed to ensure scalable, reliable, and automated recruitment workflows.
+
+# 🚀 TalentSync: Automated Job Portal Lifecycle
+
+This project is a containerized Job Portal with a full CI/CD pipeline, built to satisfy the DevOps lifecycle requirements.
+
+## 🛠️ Tech Stack
+- **Frontend:** React.js (Feature-based architecture)
+- **Backend:** Node.js & Express
+- **Database:** MongoDB
+- **DevOps:** Docker, GitHub Actions (CI), Render/Cloud (CD)
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ How to Run (For Team Members)
+Follow these steps to get the project running on your local machine in 2 minutes:
+
+1. **Install Docker Desktop** on your computer.
+2. **Clone the repo:** `git clone <your-repo-url>`
+3. **Start everything:** In the root folder, run:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up --build

+# 🚀 TalentSync: Full-Stack Job Portal
+
+This repository contains a containerized Job Portal built with the MERN-lite stack (React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB). This project follows the **DevOps lifecycle** including CI/CD and Containerization.
+
+---
+
+## 💻 How to Run Locally (Development Mode)
+If you want to code and see changes instantly without waiting for Docker:
+
+### 1. Prerequisites
+- Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (Recommended: v18 or v20)
+- Install [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community) (or use the Docker DB)
+
+### 2. Setup & Run
+Open **two** terminals in VS Code:
+
+**Terminal 1: Backend**
+```bash
+cd backend
+npm install
+npm start
+Terminal 2: Frontend
+
+Bash
+cd frontend
+npm install
+npm start
+App URL: http://localhost:3000
+
+API URL: http://localhost:5000
+
+
+Contribution rules
+1. The "Main" is Sacred
+Never push code directly to the main branch.
+
+The main branch should always be "deployable" (it should never have broken code).
+
+2. The Branching Strategy
+Before starting any task, create a new branch from main:
+
+Format: name/feature-description
+
+Example: mansi/setup-docker or rahul/job-api
+
+Command: git checkout -b name/feature
