An Interactive Location Based App for Part Time Job

Abstract

This paper presents the iOS mobile app for the use of both employers and part time job seekers, aiming to provide a user-friendly location based service (LBS) experiences. The proposed prototype captures user’s current location, and returns the information to the nearest neighbourhood that offers a part time job instantly. Unlike the conventional job listing board, this app is able to sort the order of the listed job based on either the distance or the wages offered. These features are able to ease the process of part time job searching, and also simplify the hiring process for the employers. The development approach employed the evolutionary prototyping with a minimal functional working prototype is built initially, and additional requirements are implemented iteratively. Several screenshots of the graphical user interface are included to demonstrate the prototype.
