Inspiration
After finding out women need to qualify 100% to apply for jobs versus men needing 60% to apply, we want to decrease the gap by providing a website with tools and resources to build confidence in the process of applying for jobs.
What it does
The demo takes you to a supportive resource that walks you through the job application process– from a readiness calculator, resume builder, HireLens, and what to expect through a hiring process. Testimonies from successful women in tech will help users build confidence in themselves to join the #WhyNotMe movement!
Challenges we ran into
- Generating Ideas
- Communicating
- Scraping different websites
- Generating PDFs
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- We are proud of how efficiently we created the demo.
What we learned
- We learned how to work with a team and divide the workload to execute the project together.

What's next for Why Not Me?
- Improve the demo into a debugged, fully functioning website.
- Host peer-led resume reviews and mock interviews.
- Add real testimonies from women in tech.
- Use the interactive #WhyNotMe to start a social movement using social media.
