Understanding the User
“LinkedIn is definitely the first place I go to, for professional
networking and job search”
“I am confused about specific skills, that the companies are
looking for”
“I always visit people’s profile before deciding if that job’s a right
match”
“If only it could tell me, where’s the skills’ gap?”
Proposal
“Future education doesn’t happen in the brick and mortar
universities”
