LinkedIn has too many ghost jobs
LinkedIn has too many ghost jobs
I paste the job into ChatGPT and still have to apply myself.
LinkedIn is noisy. Applying on Indeed takes forever.
I burn out scrolling ghost jobs after a few minutes.
Switching between apps wastes my time.
I only apply the week I actually need a job.
I hate typing, I just want to click a single button.
These tools help me look busy, not get hired.
I don’t know if the AI answer is lying to me.
AI talks like I'm a genius but I'm just a normal person.
I don't have time to tailor fifty applications by hand.

PRODUCT STRATEGY
PRODUCT STRATEGY
Creating the easiest way to apply for jobs with AI
We focused on creating a product job seekers love from day one, not just tolerate. Instead of shipping a bare-minimum MVP, every feature in the first release feels rewarding and worth returning to.
Core focus: The highest-impact features job seekers would love on day one.
One-click apply: Instantly turn a job post into a tailored resume, cover letter, and application.
Works where you already look for jobs: Sits on top of the job hunt — swipe, chat, apply, without hopping between five tabs.
Local memory: Remembers user preferences between sessions without sign-in.
Future roadmap: What we're launching later to ship faster.
Actions: MCP agents that completes tasks for users
Dashboards:
Single-Sign On: Enterprise-grade SSO
Why this worked
Shipping an MLP meant we could launch faster than competitors, test with real job seekers, and get feedback while the app was still unique in the market.

DATA ANALYTICS
Conducting usability testing and validation to improve user satisfaction
Conducting usability testing and validation to improve user satisfaction
We skipped formal labs and tested directly with job seekers. Feedback flowed constantly, helping shape which job-search tools mattered most. In production, we used Cloudflare for observability to track clicks, usage, and errors, focusing on the most-loved features and catching issues fast. We also sent design screenshots to AIs for suggestions but made final calls from our own experience. The result: 70% DAU, 85% WAU, and 20-minute average daily sessions — proof of strong engagement and retention. A well-executed and well-loved product!

Accessibility gives everyone an equal shot at getting hired
Ensuring the prototype was inclusive for users with various impairments and challenges required a precise and thoughtful approach.
Visual: I implemented high-contrast colors, ARIA labels, and tab index to buttons.
Motor: I designed larger touch targets and adequate spacing between elements.
Auditory: I planned for auto-generated captions and gen AI audio descriptions.
Cognitive: I incorporated low-saturation colors, autocompleted searches, an adjustable color theme, maintained a familiar layout and navigation, and added visual feedback to interactions.

Results
Results
Worklittle quickly became a daily habit for job seekers, with 70% using it every day and 85% at least weekly, averaging 20 minutes per session. People said it “finally made applying feel easy” and “cut hours off my job search,” with swipe-to-apply, AI chat, and tailored applications becoming favorites. That engagement showed Worklittle filled a real gap — applying for jobs with AI that is worth coming back to.
Challenges and insights
Challenges and insights
Throughout the Worklittle product development, I encountered and overcame several obstacles, demonstrating my problem-solving skills and adaptability:
Timeline: There was a temptation to add too many features. I focused on core functionalities that could be realistically prototyped and tested within the project timeline.
Information Architecture: A lot of job apps are cluttered and overwhelming to users. I streamlined the interface, prioritizing key features and implementing an delightful design system to enhance user experience.
Design System: Developing a unique visual identity while maintaining familiarity was tricky. I iterated on brand colors and typography to strike a balance between novelty and usability.
