Project: HireMe

HireMe is a desktop application for managing internship applications, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). If you can type fast, HireMe can get your internship tracking tasks done faster than traditional GUI apps.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

• New Feature: Statuses for internship applications.

  • What it does: allows the user to mark internship applications as PENDING, ACCEPTED or REJECTED.
  • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user should be able to track the outcomes of the applications.

• New Feature: UI for internship applications' statuses.

  • What it does: allows the user to see the statuses of the internship applications. The statuses are coloured coded for easier identification.
  • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user should be able to see the statuses of the applications easily.
  • Highlights: Any modification to any status will be reflected in real time in the UI.
