What inspired us to create this- We realised that the Covid-19 pandemic has created a major shift in the recruitment cycles as well as the skills recruiters are on the lookout for. The way people prepared for interviews in the pre-covid era will no longer suffice. People will always have to be on their toes, anxious about the pay cuts and loss of jobs. This has lead to both uncertainty and confusion among existing candidates as well as freshers, sometimes causing emotional and mental issues as well as lack of self-esteem.

What it does - Here’s where we and our application Me for We comes in! We help connect people with professionals from various industries as well as have conversations with HR professionals from different organisations and understand their requirements while hiring. This will help people prepare better and also get desired outcomes! Apart from this, we also connect you to mentors and course providers, who help you build necessary soft skills and also reskill yourself to suit the current requirements.

Not just this, we completely understand that the sudden lack of social interaction has lead to a fair share of psychological impact as well.

Why we built it - We are giving people a platform to interact not just with mentors and professionals, but with many others, just like you! Share your stories, talk about your difficulties and how you overcame them and impart your learnings along this journey with all your peers! You never know, you may end up becoming the beacon of light in someone’s dark tunnel!

How we built it - We brainstormed on an idea first. After that we chose a platform to create the application. Since we were first timers, we had to learn web development and UI design using CSS first. After that, once we were familiar with the syntax, we worked on coding it. Dividing responsibilities among team members, we worked on different parts of the code and the user layout design. Finally we put it all together and made necessary edits for smooth functioning.

Challenges we ran into - We did not know how to design an application and needed a lot of time to earn everything from scratch and then code. So it was a huge and amazing learning experience for us beginners.

Accomplishments that we're proud of - We are beginners and this was our first time in coding and a hackathon. We successfully created the application on time and submitted it despite all the hurdles. Such an amazing team effort!

What we learned- a new coding language, teamwork, leadership skills, GitHub and much more! Most importantly, we are motivated to attend many more such events!

What's next for Me for We - We wish to collaborate with organisations and companies to provide the skilling resources to our community. We also will get in touch with mentors and professionals- in HR, in other industries to impart knowledge and skills, as well as mental health experts who will help to help cope with the psychological impact of this pandemic. Giving equal importance to developing skills and succeeding in a career as well as being mentally and physically strong, we strive to provide and connect with a large audience community too. We will deploy a chat or messenger service on our website too, to enable easy communication between our community members. People can reach out with any queries to the mentors or even reach out for a friend whom they wish to speak to and feel light. All data will remain confidential and we will have professionals intervene only if a situation is adverse and requires that level of guidance. Our aim is to create an inclusive community where people feel safe, know that they aren't the only ones, and can reach out to develop professional and interpersonal/soft skills. We would love to have a community like this who can benefit from our application.
