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.
This is version 1.0.0, and was built as a proof of concept.
The app is built in Ruby on Rails
- Fix User inheritance so that mentors and seekers can both sign up and have different views within the app
- Admin functionality
- Randomised matching of mentors with seekers based on industry
