🧹 Code Cleanliness & Performance

To keep Job Junction fast and maintainable:

• Periodically audit and remove unused CSS and JavaScript code.
• Use tools like PurgeCSS, UnCSS, or browser DevTools Coverage tab to find dead code.
• Minify assets for production (see minified files in the repo).

💼 Job Junction

Job Junction is a responsive and modern job portal web application built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It provides a clean interface for users to explore job opportunities. The project is currently under development as part of open-source contributions in the GirlScript Summer of Code (GSSoC).
