01Context
The right roles were buried in the wrong ones.
02Research
More listings didn't mean better opportunities.
I looked at how job boards surface internships, judging relevance, eligibility and fit for experience.
Which listings say who can apply?
- LinkedIn2/258%
- Simplify0/210%
Key insight
Students don't need more listings. They need a better way to find the right ones.
03Design Exploration
Make the right opportunities easier to recognize.
Less time checking whether you qualify, more time on internships worth pursuing.
The goal wasn't to show students more jobs. It was to help them make better decisions about the ones they found.
Eligibility, answered up front
The same listing, and how each kind of app tells you whether you can apply.
Search, filters and matches on one screen
Search leads, five filters sit up front, and every result opens with its match.
04Key design decisions
01Search in plain words
Matches how students talk, not recruiter keywords.
02Listings straight from career pages
Pulled from the source, filtered for early career.
03Eligibility before everything
See if you qualify without opening the listing.
04Saving and tracking in one place
Save, apply and track without leaving useno.
