Week 7 - Analytics for Startups

This week we will tell you more about our platform!

We have conducted statistics (below) on why, with the number of platforms similar to our own, our country has the same rating of unemployment and corruption. It is also difficult for students to find a job or an internship. By investigating the traffic ratio of similar platforms, the team and I decided to add some useful features to make the request to our platform grow:

---

It is with our product that students can find an internship or even their first job. Also, the opportunity to continue your career path using our platform should not be excluded.

As a result, our platform will help many people find their first internship/job, which is very important today. It is also advantageous for employers to find low-paid or completely free work, because today the lack of personnel in the company also plays a big role. Thus, the interaction of these two directions will bring more experienced specialists to our country, the development of a particular industry. As we studied the market as a whole in the previous paragraphs and also investigating future consumers, we can say that these are inexperienced people - students who have not tried this taste of work in their specialty and are afraid to do anything. At the moment, there are 600 thousand students in our country, most of whom have not tried their hand at work, for various reasons. These are people who do not know how the adult life system works, how everything happens in reality. Most of the students do not even know what specialty they are entering and how to work in it, since they had no experience in this, and even after receiving higher education, they also have no idea what they are doing in this specialty. Accordingly, there are very few teachers who will prompt and direct you. So our audience is not only students, it can be schoolchildren/unemployed. Tools for creating and verifying a product. Since we use minimal funds and time resources, therefore, it was not difficult to create a prototype.

Defining the product functionality.

The main goal of our product is to build a platform where there will be a ratio of employers and inexperienced workers(students, etc.) that is, it will be a service where students can post their resumes, while mentors/employers from the company will be able to choose a student. The action takes place as usual, the student registers on our platform, then can fill out a resume and post it. There will also be Mentors on our platform/Employers who will also be able to register and post their vacancies. Next, we will have a selection system that allows each user to find their desired workforce or source of experience.

Approximately how our platform will work:

As you may have noticed, the function is very simple. As shown in the picture, a student (or any inexperienced person) can register themselves and submit a resume. We would like to note that students can also view internship vacancies. This data is processed and stored on our platform(we will describe More details below). This is the same process for an employer, where they can create their own vacancy and post it, and then they can view other users ' resumes. Everything unfolds on our platform and is served in a very easy-to-read format.

Let's look at the features that we have implemented

• We have built a complete database for the platform, given that this is still the initial database, we will add more data in the future for the full picture.We added as we explained above: Students, Employers, Resumes, Vacancies and their ratio. What was implemented on? draw.io

• After we wrote the database, we had to implement everything on the back side, generate tables, and add relationships between them(For example, the ratio between an employer and vacancies is 1 to many) Write queries that we can use to sort through our data. That is, REST APIs that we can use to collect information that we get from users. What was implemented on? Express - web application framework Node.js

• So that our users can be in our database, we have written Authorization on the first page of our platform, so that each user can register and then log in using a username and password. Also, the data was encrypted using JWT.

• We have also implemented a mobile app that allows you to sort through data and complete user authorization. And view information about vacancies, etc. We'll attach a video below showing how our app works:

2 features that we would like to implement in future:

The rating of the student. Using this function, the employer/mentor can evaluate the work performed during the term in this company of the student, so that in the future this student can build a career, and it will be important for other employers/ companies to see the student's assessment before accepting him for an internship or first job

Determining the level of knowledge of the specialty. With this function , we can understand the level of a student in this specialty, so it will be easier to select students for internships/first jobs for employers. Plus, it wouldn't hurt the students themselves to see their level of experience.

Forum. It is no secret that not all students know about their specialty and what exactly they do in this specialty. For this purpose, we have prepared a forum where real workers can post what experience they have had, how they work in this specialty, what topical topics they touch on and such life issues.
