THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT ON ADJUSTMENT TO MILITARY LIFE AMONG CADETS OF NIGERIA DEFENSE ACADEMY KADUNA

ABSTRACT

Activities of manual recruitment involve physical presence of both recruitment team and candidate at a particular place and time. The aim of this project is to design and build an online job recruitment System for Nigerian Defence Academy. This online recruitment system will reduce the hectic and uneconomical method of managing recruitment process. The recruitment system allows all interested candidates to apply, check their application status and also their employment status without necessarily being physically present at a particular place. The design of this system was carried out using: the System Architecture Design, Flowchart & Use Case Diagram. The system was implemented using Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), and JavaScript for the user interface while Hypertext Pre-processor (PHP) and MySQL was used for the database management. This system saves time and also improves the recruitment process. However, this system is limited to Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna and recommended for future enhancement.
