   • They can also view the applicants for each job, along with their resumes and contact details.
   • They can take other actions on the application such as rejecting, proceeding to the next stage (keep it accepted at this stage to avoid complexities)

6. Cloudinary Integration:

   • Upload resumes and profile pictures to Cloudinary.
   • Store URLs for uploaded files in MongoDB.

7. API Documentation:

   • Use Swagger for full API documentation, including endpoints, request/response bodies, and authentication details.

8. Database Schema (using Mongoose):

   • User model related to job applications.
   • Job Listing model with fields for job details.
   • Application model linking users to jobs.
   • etc

Extra Challenges (Optional):

• Add pagination to the job listing and application endpoints.
