This project was an incredibly rewarding experience, as it allowed me to build something that directly addresses the struggles I face as a current grad in a tough job market. Initially, the challenge of tackling such a big issue in one app felt overwhelming, but breaking it down and conducting user research helped us better understand what users truly need. I'm proud of the impact this app can have, and in the future, I’d love to continue expanding it by adding more interactive features and ensuring accessibility across all devices.
Reflection
Gradify helps new graduates thrive in a competitive job market by focusing on skill development. Unlike traditional job tracking apps, it offers interview prep, resume reviews, mentorship, networking practice, and more. Our mission is to equip grads with the tools they need to land their next opportunity.

Problem Statement
The Goal
New graduates struggle to secure jobs due to a lack of essential skills like interview prep, resume optimization, networking, and soft skills development. Existing platforms focus mainly on job applications, leaving grads unprepared for the competitive job market.
The goal of Gradify is to empower new graduates with the skills and resources they need—such as interview prep, resume reviews, networking practice, and mentorship—through gamified videos, readings, and a leaderboard to provide motivation and help them improve these skills in the competitive job market.
