Inspiration

Job searching alone can be boring and exhausting, but getting our friends on board can make the process easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

What it does

We are bringing to you JobQuest, It is a platform designed to make job searching more engaging and motivating. With JobQuest, you can create a party, invite your friends, and turn job applications into a friendly competition. The app sets daily goals for the number of applications you submit, and you and your friends compete to stay ahead in the race. You can track your progress on a game-inspired leaderboard and strive to win the weekly challenge. Job searching has never been this fun and interactive!

How we built it

We built the frontend using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, leveraging Figma for design. Our backend is powered by Python and APIs, with MongoDB as our database. The project is deployed on AWS. The way we are tracking job applications using Email analysis. We are analyzing emails (after taking consent from user) to track the number of job apps per user.

Challenges we ran into

We faced challenges integrating the frontend with the backend. Additionally, implementing features within a limited time frame was challenging. Effectively and efficiently converting Figma designs into front-end development was also challenging. We designed the prototype in Figma while separately working on the coded website at the same time, so it was hard to combine them with the time limit.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have our product ready for submission. It has really cool designs and features that we are excited about!

What we learned

We learned a lot of cool things! We worked with Figma to create interactive designs for our product, explored the magic of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS for frontend development, and used Python and APIs for the backend.

What's next for JobQuest

Our next quest will be to enhance interactivity in game and making it more user friendly. Incorporating a reward system based on number of job applications. And most importantly, we plan to support widgets on phone and raspberry-pi based digital frames for desk.
