Motivation

Our Motivation in creating the Jobs&Dragons App was to create a platform that was more engaging and fun for job searchers, new and experienced alike.

User Stories

Directions For Future Development

• Create more quests and develop the game environments more.
• Develop an admin dashboard to review, comment on, and approve user material to allow them to progress.
• Use it as a storyboard to showcase how we progressed through our Bootcamp journey.
• Include quests geared towards practicing whiteboard interview questions.
• freeCodeCamp has a huge section for that. We can use our app to gamify their interview section and try to integrate it with their api. (Great for showing we contribute open source and also some publicity that might help with job search)
