Prototype V1.0
THe following 5 screens were presented to users in Version 1.0 of our prototype
Recommended/Favorites
The recommended screen is the first screen that the user sees after they have logged in. It displays positions that we believe you are interested for your review based on data filled in on your profile, previous searches, current favorites, lexical analysis of messages sent and received and browsing history.
The favorites screen is a copy of the recommended screen that holds only the items you have marked as favorites. As such every item on this page is starred. Other differences include the title Favorites instead of Recommended and the arrow in the sidebar points to Favorites instead of Recommended.
Post Review
The post review screen is navigated to by clicking on the Post Review text link in the sidebar.
Messages
The messages screen allows you to send and view messages sent to you.
Advanced Search
The advanced search screen gives you the ability to narrow your search results by the same simple criteria as the form used to post reviews.
Profile View
The profile page is similar to a profile page on any social networking site. When you post a review of a job it is assumed that you held the position and updates that information.
Briefing
The following was given to every usability subject of Jobious:
Jobious is a web-based internship and job review service specifically designed for MIT students that combines aspects of both MIT's CareerBridge and InfiniteConnection.
Common tasks that a user may perform after logging in are:
- Reviewing positions you have held
- Browsing for internship positions recommended to you based on your preferences
- Marking certain positions as your favorites for later review
- Sending messages to other users to request additional information about positions they have held.
While participating in this study you should assume that you have previously created an account on the site and are already logged in.
