Tinder for work
Inspiration
It is especially hard for minorities and underrepresented students to find professional opportunities. This project will encourage those networks and help students find their dream jobs.
What it does
As you might be familiar with Tinder, with Tinder for work, after creating an account, or signup if you haven’t had one, you will fill in your personal information like interest, professional goal, skills as a student, and what you are looking for from students as a recruiter. Then you will receive a list of assumably matching candidates waiting for you to reject, or approve. When both recruiter and student approve each other, they will be able to see each other and message to get to know each other better.
How we built it
About the technical side, we refer to the original design of Tinder, including color, theme, and so on to design our website version. Since it is teamwork, we did pair coding via Git and GitHub. Most of us used Pycharm as an IDE, and one member used VS Code. Our website is solely coded in HTML and CSS, which we just learned in one day (This is insane).
Challenges we ran into
As novice programmers, we struggled to get the technicalities right. There were a lot of trials and errors but we are especially proud of what we achieved within such time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have a running professional tinder platform! That's more than enough reason to be proud of ourselves. While it is not yet complete, we intend to continue this project and maybe launch one day for students like us to benefit from the networks
What we learned
We experimented with a lot of frameworks and languages we were unfamiliar with (HTML and CSS). Bigger lesson: Coding takes time, but the results are always worth it.
What's next for Tinder For Work
Although we did not have enough time to reach this point, we would like to include a chat that translates the texts so mentors and mentees can be matched from anyone else We would love to say thank you to Odyssey Hackathon 2021 for organizing a great event for freshers like us, as well as all mentors for their valuable advice. We hope to see you around!
