Our team Quiver is creating a Chrome extension to reduce the time needed to
complete professional cover letters by autofilling important company
information into customizable user templates.
Persona
Jason is a rising senior at the University of Michigan
and is looking for full-time positions in software
engineering. To increase his chances of landing a job,
Jason applies to as many positions as he can find
online. As a student, he is also a part of Acapella and
plays club basketball. On top of these activities, Jason
also must keep up with many class assignments.
Therefore, Jason often does not have much time to
create a custom cover letter for each application that
requires it. This results in Jason submitting a generic
cover letter or not submitting one at all.
Persona: Jason
Quiver

to quickly apply to many positions and submit the
best possible cover letter so that he can land a job.
User Template
Solution of issue 1

Hypothesis
Quiver will increase the chances of Jason landing
a job due to his increased number of applications
and a more eye-catching cover letter for each
employer.
