Inspiration

We've all seen job postings with ridiculous requirements. Half the time there are ones listed that aren't actually needed. Usually there are also skills not listed that are tested during interviews.

If you're someone from a disadvantaged educational background, or if you're trying to break into a new field, the lack of knowledge of which skills are truly necessary presents a huge barrier.

What it does

SkillView lets people crowdsource data about what was truly tested in their experiences from applying to and working in jobs. The data is presented to end users for free so they can prioritize their learning time, apply to opportunities they would otherwise think they don't qualify for, and avoid wasting time on jobs that aren't what they're actually looking for.

How We built it

Front end was written in Vue.js using Vuetify. Visualizations were done using D3.js and Apexcharts.

Challenges We ran into

Learning new concepts from the frameworks we used.

Accomplishments that We're proud of

We turned our mock-ups into a real website using a modern framework and completed nice data visualizations.

What We learned

We learned how to make new kinds of website components and visualizations with Vue and D3.

What's next for SkillView

If we had more time we'd scrape data from glassdoor and linkedin to and analyze it to show real insights into certain jobs. We would also like to increase the scope of our service to careers outside the tech industry.
