Problem/Issue to Resolve

Attending a career fair is a crucial step in the job search process for students and a valuable opportunity for companies to recruit top talent. However, our experiences of attending the career fair at SJSU were overwhelming and disorganized. The sheer number of people flowing in and out of the ballroom where the fair is held can lead to long, confusing lines and an overall poor experience for students, companies, and recruiters.

High Level Description of our solution

Our proposed solution, CareerQ, addresses these challenges by providing a user-friendly web application that streamlines the career fair experience for students, recruiters, and schools. Through CareerQ, students can easily browse participating companies, join queues for the companies they are interested in, and receive notifications when it is their turn to speak with recruiters. Recruiters can use CareerQ to manage their queues and collect feedback from students. Schools can use CareerQ to create and manage career fair events, accept company requests to participate, and track attendance data.

Assumptions / Operating Environment

Intended usage for recruiters/companies, students and schools.

Students: use it to see queue lengths and sign up to talk to companies
