1. Get Things Ready

Set up a Power Platform environment by creating either a sandbox or production environment to get started.
Activate Dataverse and Power Pages to ensure all tools are properly configured and ready for use.

2. Plan Out Your Data

Create a custom table, such as Candidate, and make sure you include fields like the ones below:

Full Name (Text) – Capture the candidate's full name in a text field.
Email (Email) – Use this to store the candidate’s email address in an email-specific field.
Phone Number (Text) – Allow candidates to provide their phone number as a text entry.
University / Campus (Text or Lookup) – Record the university or campus information, using a text field or lookup if available.
Degree / Major (Text) – Let candidates specify their degree or major with a text entry for clarity.
Resume (File column) – Add a file column so candidates can upload their resumes directly.
Submission Date (DateTime) – Automatically record when each submission was made using a DateTime field.

3. Build Your Website

Access the Power Pages design studio and:
- Set up a form that directly links to your Candidate table for seamless data collection.
- Add a file upload option so candidates can attach their resumes easily.
- Customize the design to align with your branding and make the website visually appealing for your job fair audience

4. Make It Easy to Access

Create a QR code that takes users directly to your form page, allowing for quick and easy access
- Leverage tools like QR Code Generator or Power Automate to create dynamic and functional QR codes.

Print the QR code or display it prominently at your booth so visitors can access it instantly.

5. Set Up Permissions

Decide how candidates will access the form:
- Enable anonymous access if you want to allow form submissions without requiring a login.
- Or implement Azure AD B2C if you want users to log in before submitting their details
Ensure you set up the correct web roles and table permissions to properly manage data submission and access security.

6. Test Everything Out

Test the form thoroughly on both mobile and desktop devices to ensure it works flawlessly across platforms.
Try uploading resumes to confirm they are securely saved in Dataverse and without any issues.
Verify that all submitted data appears accurately in Power Apps or Power BI for analysis and review.
