Empathize - exploring the user's needs
The research phase began with white paper research to gain insights about resume, hiring process and resume tailoring where I stumbled upon an interesting facts. According to a survey conducted by TopResume, as of 2021:
~Tailoring a resume to a specific job increases the chances of getting an interview by up to 50%. 75% of job applications are rejected by applicant tracking systems (ATS) before they are even reviewed by a human recruiter~
User survey
A survey was conducted on 31 participants to gather information from potential users about their current resume writing practices, pain points, and attitudes towards Al-assisted resume writing. The survey also include questions about their job search experience, job application success rate. When asked about the challenges they face when creating a resume, 70% of respondents struggle to tailor their resume to a specific job, while 50% have difficulty highlighting relevant skills and experience.
User interviews 👩🏻💻
Personal development 👤
I created a personal as a constant point of reference to represent our target audience with insights from my user research which include target audience behavior, goals, motivations and pain points.
Opportunity identification 🎯
After conducting user research and analyzing the data collected, I identified a major pain point that job seekers face when applying for jobs - tailoring their resumes to fit different job descriptions. This process is not only time-consuming, but it can also be overwhelming and frustrating for job seekers, especially those who are applying for multiple jobs.
To address this pain point, we saw an opportunity to create an AI job-tailored resume generator that will make the resume writing process more efficient and effective. With this tool, job seekers can input their basic information and the AI algorithm will analyze the job description and tailor the resume to fit the specific job requirements. This will not only save time but also increase the chances of the resume getting noticed by hiring managers.

Design 🍥
Based on the wireframes and user feedback, I created a high-fidelity prototype of the app. I used a simple and intuitive design with a clean and modern interface. I also incorporated AI-powered features, such as job matching and skill analysis, to make the app more powerful and efficient.
