TrabaJob

Inspiration

We are college freshman who will very shortly be looking for jobs and internships. So we decided, instead of going through the trouble of searching for them manually, why not automate it so that we, along with other people in our situation, have an easier time.

What it does

TrabaJob takes two inputs. One being at least one company, and the other being keyword(s) for a job position. It then searches for results matching your criteria and pastes them onto the screen.

How we built it

We used a textfile with job listings, and created a java program to sort through these listing and deliver the requested results.

Challenges we ran into

We had no idea whatsoever how to make or use GUIs, so that was quite the challenge to overcome.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As previously stated, we were not proficient in Java GUIs, so an accomplishment that we are proud of is having a working GUI in our Java program.

What we learned

We learned how to use Java GUIs in the context of our program.

What's next for TrabaJob

The next thing TrabaJob will be doing, is making it so that the program is applicable to the real world. Currently, we are using a text file with fake job listing, but in the future, we would like to be able to sort through real job listings from real companies, add calendars that show when these job applications close, along with other features. Following that, we would most likely be looking for investors to help kickstart our company, while also adding additional features to our product.
