Project Name:

Jobs for Everyone

1. Overview

Jobs for Everyone is a social project. It has the mission of providing job opportunities to everyone equally. The target audience of Jobs for Everyone is immigrants looking for a new job opportunity.

The problem:

Many immigrants, for some reasons, including lack of documentation, language problems, and discrimination, can’t find a good job and end up working in lower-paid and less-skilled jobs than they previously held in their home countries.

The goal:

Design an app that gives everyone a job opportunity, regardless of gender, race, or origin.

My role:

UX Designer

Responsibilities:

Conducting interviews, paper and digital wireframing, low and high-fidelity prototyping, conducting usability studies, accounting for accessibility, iterating on designs, determining information architecture, and responsive design.

2. Understanding the user

User research

I conducted interviews with target users for my research. I noted that many users fail to find great job opportunities because they do not master the language or just because they are an immigrant. Many job search websites do not consider the frustrations of this popularly excluded user group.

Persona

Carlos is a hard-working adult immigrant who needs to find a job in the medical field because it is the profession he loves, and he has not been able to practice it.

Competitive audit

An audit of a few competitors’ products provided direction on gaps and opportunities to address with the Jobs for Everyone app.

3. Starting the design

Digital wireframes

After coming up with and drawing some schematics on paper, I created the initial designs for Jobs for Everyone. These designs focused on achieving a good user experience. The goal was to make looking for a job quick and easy.

4. Refining the design

Key mockups

High-fidelity prototype

The high-fidelity prototype followed the same user flow as the low-fidelity prototype, including design changes made after the usability study.

5. Responsive design

Sitemap

With the app designs completed, I started to work on designing the responsive website. I used the Jobs for Everyone sitemap to guide the organizational structure of each screen’s design to ensure a cohesive and consistent experience across devices.

Responsive designs

The designs for screen size variation included mobile, tablet, and desktop. I optimized the designs to fit the specific user needs of each device and screen size.
