Are you interested in presenting your idea at the interest meeting?
Yes
What's your idea about?
What is the main purpose of your project?
The project's purpose is to create an internship and job tracker, where you can keep your search organized, look for jobs in many different websites and help you craft a nice looking resume.
What is the problem you are trying to solve, if there is one (there doesn't have to be!)?
Internship and job hunting is a time consuming task, word in the street is that you must at least apply to 200 jobs and internships to increase your chances of even getting a call back!. What if we could automate the process and have your program do all of this for you in a few minutes?
What group of people is this project targeted for?
This is targeted to anyone that is willing to learn as we go and needs a project to put on their resume!
What platform do you want to develop this project for?
This is intended for college students and if done right it could be even be put on as an open source project
What are some of the important features of this project?
Keep it simple.
Performance
Security
How do these features impact user experience?
The program has to be easy to use for the user.
It needs to be efficient, the point is apply to as many jobs as it can that fit the criteria. We'll experiment with the number of applications but 200 would be great.
How are you planning to tackle some of these features or any potential challenges you forsee?
Some research would be needed to be able to answer this hehe.
What language(s) and/or technologies do you think you would want to use on this project (if you don't have anything specific, don't answer this)?
Python, flask, SQL and MAYBE some machine learning.
Quick Note:
I'm not an expert at any of this by no means, but the very best way to learn and improve our skills is to take on a challenge way above our skillset. I'm only decent with python so it will be a great learning experience for myself and anyone that would like to tackle this. There is no skill requirements for this , just the drive to learn and the tolerance to fail many many times until we get it right :)
