RESUME BOOST

Our objective in creating this app was to provide a tool beyond the resume to our users. This "interview prep" app was designed to teach jobseekers what they would be asked in an interview and why, and most importantly, how to answer. The app allows users to create their own answers while looking at an example, and to save their answers in a "cheat sheet" for on-the-go interview prep.

CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

Our greatest challenge was to meet our users at their unique stage in the job search process. In most cases, our users have just written a resume, and therefore are not ready to interview just yet. Our solution to tie the interviewing nature of the app to this stage was to provide a bridge between the content of the user's resume to the ubiquitous question "Tell me about yourself," which is used in networking situations and initial phone screens, as well as interviews. Here, we call this bridge "Tell Your Story."
