Original interface illustration for Work Helper, showing opportunity discovery and three steps for a job search
The project cover is an original interface illustration, not a screenshot of a launched service.

Focus

Making opportunity discovery more approachable

The idea

This page shows the idea with sample data; the prototype itself isn’t shown here.

A job search often starts with a loose sense of what you like. The path below turns that into role ideas, then into one small step you can take.

  1. Interests

    What you enjoy or want to learn

  2. Role ideas

    Roles that share those interests

  3. Next step

    One small action you can take this week

Illustration: the path from interests to a next step, drawn to show the idea.

Try it

Pick two or three interests. The page matches them against a small hand-written table and suggests where to start.

Sample data: role ideas and next steps written for this page. They are not job listings or advice.
