In this video, we’ll build a complete Employer Dashboard Sidebar for our Next.js + MySQL Job Portal Application (Video 37).
You’ll learn how to plan the sidebar layout, create a clean folder structure, build reusable UI components, and style everything using Tailwind CSS.
We’ll also add a professional logout button at the bottom of the sidebar and clean up the existing UI.
