CHALLENGE DETAILS
The goal of this challenge is to design the look and feel of a 1 Desktop Screen.
Problem: Gig Application
Topcoder just released its updated "Gig Application" page and now we would like to continue refining it and also integrating with other technologies, AI, and platforms like Linkedin, Github, etc. to make applying for a Topcoder Gig as easy as a few clicks!
Example Page
https://www.topcoder.com/gigs/24622707/apply
We want to make applying for Gigs super easy and push the power of automation. No one wants to spend time recreating their resume and uploading it! How do we leverage pulling in content from Linkedin for resume/previous job history, skills from Topcoder, Github, Dribble to make applying for a job as easy as 1, 2, 3.
This challenge is not about improving the design of the existing page. This challenge is about improving the UX and in 30 minutes capturing new (and futuristic) approaches to applying for Topcoder Gigs!
We are looking to capture the gig application page with your enhancements, refinements, and concepts.
