Inspiration

Since the job landscape has become highly competitive for developers we wanted to built a platform for students to help them find the latest internships in a simple and efficient manner using web scraping technology.

What it does

It fetches the latest job/internships and displays them to you in a clean/minimal way.

How we built it

We built it using Javascript/HTML/Handlebars/CSS/Node.JS/NPM/Puppeteer

Challenges we ran into

->The biggest challenge was fetching the data. We had to use web scraping instead of an api because most of the good job websites made it extremely difficult to get Job postings (this wasn't the case around 2 yrs ago when the apis were open to anyone). Indeed requires that you be an organization for example. Web-scraping was the best solution! -> Another challenge was building a Resume Parse. This proved to be very gimmicky since we could only find certain keywords. We would have wanted to use machine learning to do this more efficiently to match students with the best fitting employers.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

To have built something that could actually benefit students, and to have a working demo of it to show off!

What we learned

Even simple project ideas can prove to be harder than expected as you work through them. It is best to start with small ideas and build gradually on them in order to meet deadlines and not have fragmented work.
