5. • I spoke to Anirudh and explained the prototype
• His feedback
– There could be profiles of professionals shown in the site, so that
student can choose whom to chat with
– A calendar of all students-professional meet can be given, instead of
only the next one. This would help students plan better.
– When personality tests are taken and students gets feedback on
suitable career, we can also list the options from short term jobs that
company can offer. This would help students apply for the right jobs
better than browsing through all jobs.
