Overview

Covered is a platform designed to connect newly arrived Australians to career mentors. Job seeking individuals can sign up, fill out some information and have a resume generated at the click of a button. They will be put in touch with an industry professional who will reach out and provide feedback on their resume. The seeker then has the opportunity to set up a 'mock interview' and discuss other aspects of the job application process with their mentor.

This project was developed over the weekend of 5-6 November 2016, as part of Techfugees.

The prototype was tested with refugees & newly arrived Australians and was identified as a tool which would be useful in the job search process.

I was the team developer, so I built out the app. Trying to build a full Rails app in 24 hours was a bit of a challenge, so it was a great opportunity for me to work on processes for prioritising different aspects of the application.

I help ideate the platform with my teams mates, as well as put together the pitch deck, which included; researching and communicating the problem, market research of the current environment and competition, verbalising how the product will work and helping determine the key next steps we need.
