Inspiration

We believe that choosing a career is one of the most important steps in life. We realize that the current main option is for someone to complete a short quiz and receive a broad handful of career possibilities but this often leaves the user with more questions than answers. The main issue is that there is no way of knowing what exactly you do in these careers. That's why we created CareerSample. Not only does it help pinpoint potential career options, it also provides users with interactive career demos.

What it does

Start by engaging with the AI chatbot, which asks you targeted questions to help narrow down your potential career choices. Then, visit the 'career' page and find/explore the careers that interest you. Select any career to begin interactive career exercises that provide a glimpse into a potential future. Learn basics about the career, answer questions, and apply your own skills based on your learnings. Helps users gain valuable insights and hands-on experiences that leaves out the 'guessing' when trying to choose a career.

How we built it

Brainstormed and designed in Google Docs. Used HTML, React, JavaScript, and CSS to build the website. Used Figma to design the website.

Challenges we ran into

Implementing some of the design factors like the interactable portions of the website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Implementation of Open AI's chat bot (Chat GPT) in order to narrow down potential career options for the user. Interactable exercises such as programming snippets embedded within the website for the software engineer career page and a user editable 'fake' website for the UI/UX career page.

What we learned

Use virtual machines and less authentication for hackathon projects since it's hard to deploy

What's next for Career Sample

  1. Adding more career options
  2. Incorporating user tracking information (Google Analytics)
  3. Create mobile-friendly design
