1. JobSearch.com is an internet based company. The company provides

information about opened positions to students looking for a job and in
the same time provides information about candidates to the companies.
Both companies and the students can access the database. Students
access the database to post their resume and look for opened positions
in their area of study. Companies access the database to post their
job openings as well as look for the candidates that best fit their
need.

For every student the following information is kept in the database:

student identification number, name birthday, telephone number,
address, e-mail address, gender, country of citizenship, immigration
status, university, major department, degree program, skills.

For every company the following information is recorded:

name, address (street, city, state, zip code), telephone number,
website address, and industry.

When a job opening is submitted, the companies specify the following:

posted date, job description, type of job (full time, part time,
contract, etc.), number of openings, and contact person.

A contact person that works with company looks into the database,
chooses candidates and schedules the interviews.

attribute of an each entity type and structural constraints on
relationship type. Clearly state any assumptions you make.
