I was inspired to build a job recommender because of recent layoffs at my old company. Many of my former colleagues who were let go were less than 3 years into their careers, and they wondered, based on their experiences, what roles they fit in and where they should start their job search. I remembered a similar struggle coming out of college, where I didn’t really know where to focus my search either. I believe that this issue is quite common for people with non-technical backgrounds.
