Workday Job Sync

Inspiration

The challenge of staying organized and keeping track of internship applications inspired us to create a tool that simplifies the process.

What it does

Workday Job Sync is an intuitive platform that allows users to create an account, securely log in, and seamlessly fill out application questions. The tool displays the current status of each application (whether accepted or rejected) and securely stores responses to commonly asked application questions for future use.

How we built it

After selecting our project track, we brainstormed apps and websites that we commonly use but find inconvenient. Once we pinpointed an application to improve, we mapped out how we envisioned the app’s functionality and the key features we wanted to include. We began by focusing on the front end, followed by the backend development. The application was built using VSCode as our IDE, with Firebase Authentication and Firestore databased for securely managing user logins and storing responses to application questions. To build the website, we used javascript, html, and css.

Challenges we ran into

One of the main challenges we ran into was ensuring the user's information was properly being stored into the firebase database, specifically storing the user's answers to their questions.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our implementation of the front-end interface, the overall idea, and finally getting the data to save to the firestore database.

What we learned

How to store and save information into firebase database. How to do password authentication in firebase. Deeper knowledge of javascript, html, css.

What's next for Workday jobsync

The next step is to get the data from firebase database to connect to each user so that each user can update their own information and synchronize their account.
