🛠️ Hack Your Way to a New Job

Create something that can help you or/and someone else find a new job. You can choose from the project ideas below or you can come up with something different that fits the focus of this challenge. Don't worry if you like a project idea but it seems difficult. You can make your solution as complex as you want. For example, you don't need a well-designed UI. It can be very simple or even just a console app if you want to focus on other things than the app's appearance. If you're a Junior Guru club member never hesitate to ask a question on our Discord server whether it's about this challenge, your project, or coding and Git/GitHub in general.

Project Ideas

🧑‍💻 Portfolio

  • Create your own portfolio where others can learn more about you, your skills and projects
  • Or you can make a simple, easily customizable "chicken-folio", a portfolio template for other members of Junior Guru

🪪 Business card/Cover letter generator

  • Web or mobile app where you can input some data and the app creates a good-looking business card containing the information
  • It would be cool if the user had the option to send the newly created business card via e-mail or a different, but not mandatory
  • Instead of a business card you can create a cover letter generator or something like that

📊 Job posting scraper/analyzer

  • What about a program that can read job postings, and get and use data from them?
  • The app can produce a summary based on the user's settings or even some statistics
  • It can be "just" a console app and/or you can create desktop/web/mobile UI as well
  • Ideally, something that can make searching for a job easier

🏢 Free developers listing website

  • You have an imaginary team of developers and you want to offer their time to customers
  • It can be just UI with some hardcoded data, you can create a database or you can get data from an external source

🔎 Job search tracking tool

  • This can be a very handy tool for your (or someone else) job search
  • Users would have the possibility to input data about their job search

🐤 Chickenbook

  • Create an app with a database where people from Junior Guru can sign up and create their profiles
  • It can be just a console app or you can also create a good-looking frontend or team up with a frontend developer

❤️ Show you love it

  • Choose a company/app you love and make a simplified copy of their app/solution
  • Instead of a copy you can create something close to their focus, or a feature you'd like to see from them
