I developed Brigoshka, a platform designed to bridge the gap between students seeking quick, temporary jobs and employers needing immediate help. With a user-friendly interface, Brigoshka simplifies the process for students to find and apply for jobs like event assistance, moving help, mowing grass, and other temporary tasks. Employers can easily post job listings and quickly find the right candidates.
1
Problem: Students often face challenges in finding part-time or temporary jobs that fit their schedules and skills. Traditional job search methods are time-consuming and inefficient, making it difficult for students to balance work and studies.
Importance: Facilitating easy access to part-time and temporary job opportunities is crucial for students to gain work experience, support themselves financially, and build professional networks. Data shows that students who work part-time during their studies are more likely to secure full-time employment post-graduation.

Strategy: I adopted a user-centered design approach, focusing on creating a seamless and intuitive user experience for both students and employers. The development process involved iterative testing and feedback to refine the platform.
Research: Conducted extensive market research to understand the needs and pain points of students and employers. Analyzed existing platforms to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Matching Accuracy: Ensuring the platform accurately matches students with suitable quick job opportunities based on their availability and preferences.
User Interface: Designing a user-friendly interface that caters to both students and employers with varying levels of tech proficiency.
Scalability: Building a robust backend system capable of handling a large number of job listings and user profiles.
