About
How might we help people of all ages and tech experience efficiently and confidently build job application documents to enhance their chances in the job market?
35%-45% job seekers feel lost and overwhelmed by the complexity of the required application materials, leading to abandonment. This gap in the process costs companies potentially valuable applicants.

Iteration and Optimization
Original Document Builder
The design was confusing, particularly due to the information sections on the right, which lacked clear guidance on how to interact with or complete them. This hurt the overall user experience.
To address this, I relocated the right-hand section and restructured it so that each part stores saved information within collapsible dropdowns.
When users need to add or edit information, a dedicated pop-up appears with clearly defined input fields tailored to the specific data type.
Optimized Version
The streamlined Information Architecture ensures users can effortlessly move between resume editing, template selection, and coaching without losing context.

35%-45% job seekers feel lost and overwhelmed by the complexity of the required application materials, leading to abandonment. This gap in the process costs companies potentially valuable applicants.
What did I learn working on a complex career-tech application from the foundation upwards as the sole Ux Designer
My Learnings
(Learnt Skills and Strategies)
Enhancing my communication skills:
Developed the confidence to initiate and lead meetings, in which I clearly present my design developments and further discuss project expansions.
Improving My Time and Project Management:
Experimenting with the SCRUM weekly cycles to organize and plan my workflow simultaneously with the client. This method offered transparency and helped me build awareness of priorities following the client’s needs.
Next steps: Validation and Measurements
As a final phase, my focus will be on executing Remote Usability Testing to validate and understand users’ interaction with the app and their honest feedback through:
Tracking the Error Rate and Task Completion Rate
Checking the app efficiency by monitoring Time-Spent -On-Task
