By

Mia, Ramy, Louise and Hawi

Our app is aimed at young adults who have left education looking for a job. These young adults may not know how to

conduct a CV that would appeal to professionals who are

hiring. Our app is going to help young adults to create a CV

that appeals to professionals but has a easy method to

create.

The problem our app is addressing is the unemployment of young adults fresh out of school and trying to create an easy

solution to ensure that their chances of getting a job

increase.

The core questions we are addressing in this app is:

How to create a simple but professional CV?

From our investigation we found that

many people would find it easier to

have a professional template to follow

rather than having to think of what to

write.

Our team, Optimistic Pessimists, is developing a CV App to

help young adults whom have finishes university or school to

create a simple and professional with a simple fill and go technique.

From our investigation we can say that;

89% would use this app and 80% of people would

find this more convenient then writing their own CV.

We found that 49% of the people we asked would

use this sometimes as opposed to the 15% who said

always.

62% of the people we used said this would appeal

to 18+ users.

We have found similar apps on the

market however our app is unique

because you are able to choose the

appearance of your app and can easily

share with your friends, family and/or

employers.

A young adult that has just finished school needs to

find a part-time job to cover the expenses of

university and rent. They would like a fast and simple

way t fill in a CV but something that would also

appeal to professional employers.

This our Menu page which leads to

different options that you would

like.

By clicking ‘Create A New CV’ it

will bring you to this page, which

you can then choose your option

of choosing a pre-made template

or create your own unique

template.

By clicking ‘Choose Existing

Template’ you are brought to this

page, which you can then choose

any pre-made CV template,

where you can view them and

then choose the one you like best.

Some of these may cost you others

are free, you can filter the results if

you wish.

However if you choose the option

to create you own you are

brought to this page where you

can simply choose the options you

like best and you have created

your own template.

After choosing or creating your

template, all you need to do is fill

in your information and you have

completed your CV. Depending

on you what template you choose

you also have the choose to add a

picture.

After filling in your information your

CV is complete and you have the

option to save the CV onto the

app or send to your friends, family

or employers.

From the Menu page, when you

click ‘Edit an existing CV you are

brought to this page which lets you

view and edit any information that

you have entered while creating

the CV.

Also, form the Menu button you

can also go to a settings page

which will allow you to change

certain aspects of the app to

make it more suitable to what you

like.

Our last page in our app is the

Share page which allows you to

share our app with your friends and

family that would also be

interested in our app. WE fill this

would also give as more

customers.

Data Feasibility

Our app does not require any content, expect from the pictures

which is optional if the customer would like to upload.

It would be optional for the customer to upload their own photos.

We believe we would need authorization from social media sites

and e-mail providers so that our app can be easily shared.

Technical Feasibility

Our solution is technically possible.

A professional developer can develop our app within 1 month.

Our solution is a fairly simple idea and does not need any

simplifying.

The business model we have chosen is to charge

0.69p for our app because we do not want to

clutter our app with lots of ads however we would

like some sort of income from the app.

We had no customers pledges.

Our app does not need any improvements for our

market research had a great response, and many

people liked out app.

We have chosen to get our app known by;

Creating simple YouTube ads.

Creating a share button in our app.

Adverting in schools.
