Model class representing a work experience entry for a candidate in the Job Portal system.

The Experience class is an embedded document within the Candidate entity that captures details about a candidate's professional work history, including job titles, employers, locations, durations, and responsibilities.

This class is used to structure work history information within a candidate's profile. Multiple Experience instances can be included in a Candidate document to represent the complete professional background of a job seeker.

Experience records include:

  • Job title or position held
  • Company or organization name
  • Work location
  • Employment period (start and end dates)
  • Job description and responsibilities
  • Indicator of current employment

This information is used for candidate qualification evaluation, matching to job requirements, and displaying work history to recruiters.
