Briefing

MIT Jobs is a website that will replace Anne Hunter's mailing list. A recruiter will be able to create an account an directly advertise internship or fulltime positions on the site. An MIT student with a start-up idea can find students to work with by advertising his/her idea on the site. A professor or grad student seeking a UROP can advertise their available position on the site. On the other hand, an MIT affiliate can browse all posts on the site by different categories if interested in finding something to do that meets some criterion. With this in mind, we will give you some tasks, try to accomplish them, giving us as much feedback as possible in the process.

  1. User 1 mentioned it would be useful to have a search bar to search on company, location etc.
  2. User 1 raised the concern that he could not save a message for later sending, so we need to be able to save messages as “Drafts”.
  3. User 3 accidentally deleted a post, and wanted to be able to undo the delete. We need more undo’s for actions.
  4. User 2 mentioned that while creating a message usually the “To” is already populated with either followers of a post, or creator of a post. We need to have a drop down for the “To” with separate headings for “Followers of my posts” containing names of  posts you have created and “Creators of posts I’m following” containing names of posts you are following.
  5. User 3 was given a task that he is a recruiter and has to create a post, but he tried to go for the “browse” tab, which was disabled for non-MIT people. Instead of disabling the tab, we should not display it altogether.
