Professional Feedback
Great job on the prototypes — the flow feels natural and the color palette is really appealing. I love the concept behind this; giving young adults a tool to find opportunities independently and start their own journey is empowering.
A couple of ideas to think about for future iterations:
An application tracker screen where users can see the status of everything they've applied to — that would add a lot of value and keep them coming back to the app.
A strategy for keeping the job listings fresh and up to date, so users always trust what they're seeing.
Really strong foundation — keep building on it!

Great work overall on the project. A good job finder app could be really valuable, both for the students and the employers. You did really good background research, including looking at existing apps, and your presentation was clear and well written, and the Figma looks very slick. I like that you thought about details like an approval page for location sharing.
The approach of doing a personality or interest survey to match students with jobs is a great idea and a good application of AI. Something else to consider in this is safety. You probably need a way to weed out bad employers. This could involve having employers get endorsements from community members, and also giving students the opportunity to provide feedback, so they could warn the next generation about bad employers, or recommend the fun, well-paying jobs.
You might also think about including educational opportunities like summer classes, camps, etc in the app, since students may be trying to decide between a job or one of those. And maybe the app could coordinate time-splitting, so you do something educational a few days a week and work the other days.
Anyway, really good work!
