JobStreet Virtual Career Fair

A career fair without the venue

During COVID-19, JobStreet needed a way for job seekers and employers to meet online. At OpenMinds, I worked on the Virtual Career Fair with the Digital Transformation team, product manager and marketing team.

I designed landing pages for job seekers and employers, alongside an employer dashboard for managing virtual booths and candidate interactions. I started as the sole UI/UX designer and later worked with a senior designer.

One event, different things to do

Job seekers needed to explore companies, find jobs and join sessions. Employers needed to set up their presence and manage applications. I mapped the site structure and flows around these different tasks before working through the screens.

Working through the screens together

I used low-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes to discuss the experience with the team. Feedback from the product manager, marketing team and senior designer helped us refine the flows and layouts before moving into detailed UI.

Helping both sides find their way in

The landing pages introduced the event to two audiences. For job seekers, the page highlighted opportunities, sessions and how to join. For employers, it explained participation and setting up a virtual booth. I designed both experiences around JobStreet’s branding and adapted the layouts for smaller screens.

Beyond the landing page

The platform also needed to support the work during the event. My scope included the employer dashboard for managing booths, candidate interactions and schedules. I also created prototypes and UI visuals for client pitches, helping the team discuss how the experience would work.

What I took from the project

This was one of my first opportunities to take a project from early flows through detailed design. I learned to work through feedback across product, marketing and design, and to use prototypes to make those conversations more concrete.
