THE PIVOT APP & RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN

MY ROLE
UI UX DESIGNER, RESEARCHER
OVERVIEW
Pivot is an organization geared toward helping people that are transitioning from one industry into another. Whether it is a result of being laid off, their industry becoming obsolete, or just an inclination to follow their dream. Pivot's goal is to help those seekers pivot not only their career but also their life. Pivot needs a tool that helps people learn, apply for entry-level jobs, and manage their progress toward that goal.

UNDERSTANDING THE USER

User research consisted of concocting a questionnaire with the focus of understanding the issues and barriers they are running into. which was then used to conduct user interviews. Most interview participants reported feeling hopeless, daunted, and discouraged by their current job search, The feedback received through research made it very clear that users would like an app that provided jobs that were specifically for them. That includes entry-level positions that require no previous industry work history.

conclusions
​
From completing this case study I learned that the job search industry is one with a wide variety of features and niches. While there are many well established players in this space, I found that there is still quite a bit of opportunity.
